What's the most emotional passage in a Rush song for you?

“All of us spent time in the gutter - dreamers turn to look at the cars.” -
Being a matter of intent is one thing. Being a matter of sound musical choices is another!
-
Listen to the live versions that were released along with AFTK a couple years ago. The fills in lakeside park are crazy! They make no sense! and with Bastille Day - Lerxst starts it but when NP comes in he pulls it WAY back.
-
Yeah but that means the label (band) pays for that expensive promotion. Music videos are paid for by the acts.
-
Regarding drumming, I think NP was working things out things during AFTK. There are just weird timing issues on that album and during its tour. Just weird rests between parts, and awkward tempo shifts (like in Bastille Day or Lakeside Park). It’s interesting, because on Hemispheres and its tour you hear none of these issues.
-
It could’ve been. It’s half-baked, just like they were when they recorded it. I hate the arrangement. Needs another verse. Also NPs weird feel on the studio version. Also Lerxst’s jarring double pluck at the very top. it got way way better around Different Stages. That version is great.
-
They certainly went nuts with the promotional budget for GuP. maybe they thought Signals undersold. I’m curious which album sold more. I know the Signals singles (say that fast) were bigger hits. But damn - GuP had videos for half the songs on the album! And a full live video release. And a fancy new haircut on Lerxst. This is big money spent! I’m thinking there is potential for quite a few nuggets with a GuP 40 box.
-
Yes - I saw this post on DS and asked if it was legit. No one gave me a straight answer.
-
Alex and Geddy playing again. Tour talk ensues....

I think that album’s pretty damn good! -
Wasn’t this the Glaswegian Chorus?
-
Check it out! Extra drum fills/bars and longer instrumental section. The solo seems different and more legato as well.
-
I remember that too! A gold edition remaster! I wonder if these new “up mixes” include that version!
-
OK - so not a 5.1 mix, but a remaster where the wrong mix was pulled. the “5.1” mix down above is likely a homemade version, using the Van Dette remasters. Perhaps it never was in 5.1, but it still sounds worlds better than the original album. some clarification here. https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/rush-hold-your-fire.686321/page-4
