Creating an Exit ... Stage Left Playlist

Recommended Posts

I have created an Exit ... Stage Left playlist on Spotify (I only used official versions, not bootlegs). Here is the list along with the source of each song on the list (the ones in bold type are from the Exit ... Stage Left recording):

=========================================================================

2112 “Overture” and “The Temples Of Syrinx” [used version from Different Stages]

Freewill

Limelight [used version from Different Stages]

Cygnus-X1: Book II: Hemispheres “Prelude” [available from the R40 tour recording, but I chose to not include that here and replace the "Armageddon" part in the setlist below with the abbreviated Hemispheres from the new Permanent Waves 40th anniversary live version since I could not find "Armageddon" alone to include below]

Beneath, Between, & Behind (abridged)

Subdivisions (prerelease version) [used version from A Show of Hands]

The Camera Eye [used version from Time Machine tour]

YYZ (with drum solo)

Broon's Bane

The Trees

Xanadu

The Spirit Of Radio

Red Barchetta

Closer To The Heart

Tom Sawyer

Vital Signs [used Rush in Rio version]

Working Man (with reggae intro) [used Rush in Rio version]

Cygnus-X1: Book II: Hemispheres “Armageddon” [used abbreviated version from PeW 40th anniversary]

By-Tor And The Snow Dog [used abbreviated version from PeW 40th anniversary]

In The End [used version from ATWAS]

In The Mood [used version from AFTK 40th anniversary]

2112 “Grand Finale” [used version on Different Stages]

 

Encore:

La Villa Strangiato (with electric guitar intro)

========================================================================

 

I tried to use recordings from as close to 1980 as possible. If anyone has recommendations to improve the sources of individual songs from the setlist (ie, a "better version" than the one I used), please let me know.

 

I really, really hope that the full Exit ... Stage Left show is available so there can be a full 40th anniversary show release! Not holding my breath though.

Its probably as good as you can get based on official releases (a shame you had to use Rio for Vital Signs and Working Man as the sound quality is poor on it).

I did a similar exercise although I included bootleg material - primarily Rush - Canada '81 with a couple of tracks patched in to make a complete show - very good sound quality.

Hi - I have also made up a playlist based on the Moving Pictures tour using the following sources (mostly official) which I think comes as close to a full 1981 show as we're going to get unless they release one next year with the MP40 anniversary edition:

 

2112: Overture/Temples of Syrinx - from 2112 Deluxe edition

Freewill - ESL

Limelight - ESL DVD

Hemispheres: Prelude - PW40, with ending spliced from Armageddon section

Beneath, Between & Behind - ESL

The Camera Eye - Time Machine Tour, pitched up by half a step

YYZ - ESL

Broon's Bane - ESL

The Trees - ESL

Xanadu - ESL

The Spirit Of Radio - ESL

Red Barchetta - ESL

Closer To The Heart - ESL DVD

Tom Sawyer - ESL

Vital Signs - B-side of New World Man single

Natural Science - PW40

Working Man - Kiel Auditorium 1980

Hemispheres: Armageddon - PW1980

Medley: By-Tor/In The End/In The Mood/2112 Finale - ESL DVD

La Villa Strangiato - ESL

Yes - if you are keeping it official this is also a good option. Your version of Vital Signs is definitely better than the Rio version. The Kiel version of Working Man is also better sounding

although on the '81 shows Working Man was shorter in duration(around 1:20) and half of that was reggae style.

It comes up from time to time on here but apparently any footage that was left off the final edit of the ESL concert video was lost or thrown out decades ago. Never gonna see anything extra from that, nor the GUP show. Although some guy was claiming years ago he had the missing GUP in his possession and was going to release it but it was BS
