The worst is that bird synthesized bird sound at the 3:20 mark. Was used on a ton of 80s pop songs during the time. Rough.

Power Windows easily. And I have nothing against synth... absolutely love the sounds from PW though Signals, and ,most of Grace.

f$%king dreadful.

Trees LVS By Tor >>> Xanadu (hopefully segued from By Tor, and a full version) ...would also LOVE to get some CX-1 (book 1) but dont think its likely....

Vital Signs is the overlooked gem on this album. Would LOVE to hear it live on R40, along with Red Barchetta (which i think is a definite).

Very well said. And I agree.

Listened full through about five times and finding it really exceptional. Love the melodies and song structure, as well as the various musical styles and production. As good as the Raven is, I'm enjoying this more overall. Cant wait to hear these tunes live in DC.

None of the covers ever did it for me. Only have use for the original issue.

Speak of the Devil is an overlooked gem. Great, energetic, different, versions of the classics, and Ozz is completely insane. LOVE IT.

Signals (shouldve had more representation last tour) A Farewell to Kings (Xanadu full, some instrumental Cygnus) Caress of Steel

Love them both, but its tough to beat classic period Sabbath. Ozz wins.

Theres not a snowball's chance in Hell this song is not played on R40.

DS is miles and miles behind ATWAS and ESL. Doesnt feel coherent to me and the crowd is annoyingly turned up too loud.

As I've mentioned, there's some decent tunes to be found on RTB, but I cant get passed the title track either. Just cringeworthy overall, and brings my overall perception of the album down. And agree on the cover too, the worst.

Think its very likely Marathon is in the setlist. Probably the only PoW song after last tour's deluge.

The best Billy of all, not a bad song.

Its all about the deep tracks on 52nd: Zanzibar, Stiletto, Honesty... and you kidding me?!?!

Take it to the bank. Hoping its the MSG show Im going to.

Of course not.

Votes based not only what I want to hear but also what is realistic: 1)Rush-Finding My Way 2)FBN-ByTor 3)Caress-Necromancer (Ill take an instrumental, anything)

Tough to argue with this, Leeds is about as good as it gets. And what an amazing ad, thanks for posting

Hope they play: 1)Weapon 2)ByTor into 3)Xanadu (full version) 4)Cygnus X-1 (Ill take a much of books I and II as possible) 5)Prime Mover Hope they dont play: Mystic Rhythms Dreamline Red Sector A The Pass The Garden

Losing It. But no matter as they blew not doing it last tour with the strings and theres no way it happens on this tour. CTTC, on the other hand, is very likely I believe.

Awesome. Of all the Rush shows I wish Id gone to, that 1980 Palladium run is tops on the list. Was born a few years too late (my first show was 82 at the Garden).

Far and away Caress. Love that album. Also think HYF is underrated...theres some good pop stuff on there. And RTB -- while not a top album, its nowhere as bad as folks say it is.
