Jim Beam Signature

I always marveled at how the first song of each live album was the first song off the third album in the series... Bastille Day The Spirit of Radio The Big Money Dreamline For that reason I was always waiting for Animate to open the show. I still think that would be a great opener.

The first rumor of farewell tour I heard was Grace Under Pressure. That was also not far in time from the "Neil has cancer" rumors. This was when there were no interwebz. For me, Finale is the obvious choice, but I wouldnt mind In The Mood. I remember those rumors...pre interwebz indeed.

A good friend of mine saw the Signals tour and last year his daughter wore his tour shirt to school (she was one of my students). It was a faded 3 quarter sleeve. Listening to him talk all those years almost gave me memories of the show. He did say that they played Chemistry at the show he saw.

I can play bits and pieces of all of the ones I've tried. Though I can play yyz on the bass, I lack the stamina to get through the whole thing. If I could choose something it would be to play the gtr solo in La Villa Strangiato with the same emotion Lifeson does it with.

Great film. Watch it every year but missed it this year

Se7en...disturbing film

I voted for Hemispheres a couple of years ago but sometimes it is Signals

I don't think that would happen, I'm pretty sure he recorded that song with a 5-string Wal. If I remember correctly the only one where he used the 5 string is on Lock And Key... I'll be honest, I don't know. I remember he used a wal on the album but I never remember hearring a 5. I knew he had one, but I didn't know he used it on record. I was never a fan of the wal sound.

I received Power Windows for Christmas in 1985. I was in 8th grade. I believe that was my only Rush themed Christmas present. I already had mp, pew, h, and e...sl.

I cannot believe my ABBA loving mind loves this album as much as I do. Are you going to review it on the thread? :D It is all 15. I would agree that it is a 10/10 or 15/15 on the other scale. I like ABBA too.

I don't think that would happen, I'm pretty sure he recorded that song with a 5-string Wal. Yes he probably did, but live he could do it on the Jazz.

I chose Open Secrets but Prime Mover and Second Nature are great too. This is a fantastic record

Some of the best riffs on this record

I am going to pull this out again this week. Fantastic record. Side two is excellent!

One of the greatest lead guitar tones.

If you look at the theme of the live releases there is always something new in the set list to keep the DVDs/bluray releases interesting. Who knows what the next tour will bring?

Necromancer has been one of my favorite tunes from early Rush. Once upon a time I would have wanted nothing more than to see them do this live. They have changed direction to the point that I can't picture them playing it. I would still welcome part or all of it though. We're I a betting man I would have to be against it though.

You know I have heard the "this could be their last tour" rumors since Hold Your Fire, so I will play along hoping that there will be another tour. Realistically I think they will do something like yyz. I would think Oveture/Grand Finale would be great as well. An instrumental medley would be great too.

Feeling that way/Anytime is a fantastic tune. I always find these polls interesting. I imagine the members of the bands in a fighting cage. Looking at the members of each band it's difficult to tell who would win. Toughest looking guy would be Steve Smith, unless it was the Ansley Dunbar era...Alex looks like he could hold his own.

It took me a long time to warm up to the last two songs. I would love to hear more off this live. High Water has a great percolating groove. I would love to hear this tune with the Fender Jazz.

Distant Early Warning...9 Afterimage...10 Red Sector A...9 The Enemy Within...9 The Body Electric...9 Kid Gloves...9 Red Lenses...9 Between the Wheels...10+ This album is rather special to me because it was the first "new Rush" I remember coming out. DEW was announced and played on the radio and later on Mtv. This album takes me back to junior high and I can still stare at the cover for hours. BTW has long been my favorite off this record closely followed by Afterimage.

By a long shot.... Rivendell is okay. It just gets beat up because it doesn't sound like a "Rush" song. This is true. Before Presto, Rivendell was the tune that my circle of friends would come up with as the least favorite. There were others, but like you say, it is the least "Rush" sounding. After Superconductor and Dog Years, Rivendell seems a lot better.

Love the review of this one from the film^
