lifeson90 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Such a great track was just giving it a listen and thought i'd check out YT to see if any live performances of it but couldn't find any. Anybody know if such a thing exists? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 (edited) Great song with a killer groove, but I don't believe it was ever played live.

J2112YYZ Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 No live. A crime along with Cut to the Chase Cut To The Chase is the real shame there. That's one I don't get. How did it not get played live? Something about it must have not worked for them in order for that to happen. Seemed like it should have been a no brainer for the set. As for Alien Shore, I do like the song but don't think it's one of the standouts on CP. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Alien Shore, I do like the song but don't think it's one of the standouts on CP.It's a real head scratcher. Of all the interviews with all the lame same old tired questions they've had...I'd like to know if Cut to the Chase has come up and whether it's difficult to pull off live. I wish the "Evening with Rush" days would of started with CP. Maybe CTTC would of made the setlist. Look at the S&A tour...those songs were featured for better or for worse. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Permanent-Rush Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 What's an actual crime is that not every Rush song was played live, yet they played most of the hits almost every show like da f**k?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just good business. It was always a treat for me to hear the deeper cuts. Even live recordings of songs I'm not crazy about like "How it is". A live version seems to give them new life. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the hits need to be played. Those are the songs everyone in attendance knows. There needs to be a handful of songs that gets everybody to react. One thing I did like about Rush is that they didn't feel the need to play every hit on every tour. With the exception of Tom Sawyer, Spirit and maybe CTTH they would rotate the hits around each tour. Made more room for new stuff and deep cuts doing it like that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was my first and only show! Thankfully they played not only the big hits I wanted to see, but also some epic deep cuts I never dreamed I'd see.

losingit2k Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 No live. A crime along with Cut to the Chase Cut To The Chase is the real shame there. This is Exactly was i was thinking. Two songs that should have made it to their live show. I feel if they were having the longer tours they had towards the end, we would have heard both tracks Live. Who know maybe when they have their reunion tour! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnoble Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Geddy was asked about CTTC in a pre-R40 interview , possibly in a AMA Reddit forum and he chuckled and remembered the song and perhaps they rehearsed it before that tour but it didn't make the final cut. Neil expressed interest in performing Hand Over Fist but that too didn't make the final cut either I was always surprised that the most rockin' song on CP, Between Sun & Moon wasn't performed on that tour 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifeson90 Posted June 11, 2018 Author Share Posted June 11, 2018 Hard to believe CTTC never played live, in some sense can understand why Alien Shore wasn't, not being an expert has a kind of studio feel about it that may have been too difficult to translate live, all kinds of funny little effects in it, i dunno. CTTC doesnt seem to have this problem, didnt go CP tour but i'd have been disappointed not to get it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Alien Shore and CttC are 2 of my top 3 tunes off Counterparts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see Geddy saying "Oh yeah, let's see...hmmm that was off of...Count...yeah, Counterparts." "We may have considered it for the set list at some point".
