TheGhostRider Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 (edited) The Fountain Of Lamneth is a hotly debated song. A lot of people believe that it was played live, but we just don’t have any conclusive proof. I would like to believe that it was, but we only have one surviving set list and bootleg, and some possible footage and none of them lists the song.

Almost seems like that tour was wiped from the consciousness of most people that were involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thizzellewashington Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 What's funny is there are a couple of reviews of shows in the book that mention lyrics from "Fountain." But knowing how seriously the press took Rush at the time, it wouldn't shock me if the reviewer just stuck those lyrics/song titles in the article at random and didn't bother to double-check or figure out which songs they did or didn't play at the show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mscott777 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 BU2B was played live during their Time Machine tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostRider Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) Also I just noticed this after coming back to this thread But why is Feedback included? I get it's an album they released but none of those songs are Rush songs. Edited November 2, 2021 by TheGhostRider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they did it was during soundcheck. Saw four shows on that tour and it's not on any of the bootlegs I have from that tour. I believe they opened in Florida that year and it wasn't part of the first few shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did hear a rumor that they played it a few times on the East Coast but then cut it. Probably not true right East Coasters? Funny, I saw this and thought "Oh yes they did!" Then looked around and I was thinking of Far Cry. Go figure :codger:It has been nice to see you posting again on TRF. You were part of the reason I saw a lively community of Rush fanatics and felt at home. You often made me chuckle. I gather after the "News" and your own business issues, you departed. But isn't this the best community to be with? As far as Rush fans go. Hope all is well with you :) Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weatherman Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) I always wanted "Chain Lightning" and "Available Light" live too.Impossible to see how Alex would've played the backwards solo on Chain Lightning live.Even more impossible is the idea of 2010s-era Geddy hitting those high notes in Available Light.

Rush Didact Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I'm both surprised they played as much as they did from VT, and disappointed they didn't play more of it. That album deserved better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush Didact Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 On 4/23/2021 at 11:50 AM, Claude_verret said: The Camera Eye was a glaring song that disappeared in their live show for 27 years. I remember reading about and hearing fans wanting Rush to play this song as far back as the RTB tour. I remember also reading that the band was aware of this but they just didn't want to bring it back. No idea of it was all of them or certain individual(s) that kiboshed it over the years until they brought it back for the Time Machine tour. I always found that strange. TCE is by far the weakest song on MP, as far as I'm concerned. (Which isn't saying much, considering how great the rest of the album is.) It has some great playing in it and some interesting individual parts, but as a whole I find it pretty forgettable. The synthesizer sounds have aged terribly. I could never understand why there was so much demand for it to be played live, there are dozens of songs I would rather have heard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't even sound like it would have been cool in 1981... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
