Those you said + Cold Fire

Before And After sounds great when they played it at that elementary school with John Rutsey, and The Necromancer is amazing on the "Pretentious Necromancer" bootleg ..

 

And Tears, to my knowledge, was never played live ..

 

All three of those are Top 10 Rush songs for me on any given day

[Geddyleegenes]

And this is the stuff about which I wish an interviewer would ask the guys. They do ask about unreleased "Studio" songs that are locked away in "the vaults", but they never ask about Live songs that are definitely locked away in those vaults.

 

Geddy and Alex have said time and again that there are no unreleased "Studio" songs. ("Sir Gawain" was scrapped and some of it was salvaged and inserted into "Natural Science". We know that already!) But we know that there are songs played on tours that were recorded but never released on any official Rush Live albums.

 

Why don't the guys open those vaults and haul this Live material out and give it an official release. Hey, more money in the pocket for them, and more Rush enjoyment for us!

If Geddy can't even remember what songs they've played live, he'd have no idea what songs may have been recorded and lie in the vaults (that would probably go for the other two of them also). I would think that whoever owns the rights to their music would certainly have checked the vaults to see what was there and if it was salvageable. I also can't imagine that, if there was something worthwhile, the band would refuse to release it.

Ceiling Unlimited is on the Rio disc as an extra. It actually has a better mix to it than the main setlist.

I don't see that on my copy.

Same here.

Double Agent for sure. The version from A View from the Palace is so cool. It's just a cool song.

Oops. It was Between Sun and Moon that was an extra. Ceiling Unlimited must've been on one of my bootlegs. Haven't listened to either in about 10 years.

I'll toss Circumstances in there too ... Another favorite of mine, and sounded great in that video from the Hemispheres era in which they performed it live Edited September 7, 2016 by Lucas

The Necromancer by far.

True, it is...but they had to change the key, to fit the 21st century.

 

I know what you meant, Lucas. I'm right there with you.

That's like saying "I can prove UFOs don't exist"

 

I've never even heard anyone say that they saw them play it live

 

( cue: some liar )

[LedRush]

Does anyone know of a boot with Afterimage on it?

[LedRush]

Here Again is great on the Rush Hour boot.

[LedRush]

And Half the World is great on the Great Skies boot.

Yeah...that needed to be on a least one live album. (I think I'm going to go grab the DVD of of the shelf now.)
