Ged Lent's sis Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 "It's like... that's very cool for me. We always thought that was very cool." —Stephen Stills about Rush's cover of "For What It's Worth" https://youtu.be/oNEsZYyti_U?t=1042 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyta Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I know I will get some side eye from others but Feedback was my first Rush music purchase. I took my sister who was a hard core Rush fan to R30 and I wasn't into them much. When they started playing Buffalo Springfield songs, it caught my attention. I always liked their music so if Rush liked them then that was cool. Of course I enjoyed the concert and began listening to Rush more. Thanks for sharing the video. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's actually kinda cool, I don't think I've encountered anyone else whose on ramp to Rush was Feedback! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No side eye from me. I had never thought much of Feedback and hadn't seen the point even though I'm a fan of the songs covered. Seeing Stephen Stills genuine reaction has me thinking more of the album... and seeing the point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capoetc Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 When the Feedback CD was released, I listened to it over and over for the next 6 months or so, and I still go back to it often. Great songs reinterpreted and Rush-ified. And R30 was my favorite concert setlist. I am so glad that when the Blu-ray for R30 was released it had the whole show since they cut out a bunch of songs in the DVD release. And Neil's drum solo on R30 is my fav as well, although admittedly -- I love 'em all! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiBeers Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 i don't slam the Feedback songs like others. It was just a whimsical exercise of recording songs from their youth without the pressure of creating new material. Nothing more than that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thizzellewashington Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Liked Feedback at the time for what it is. Almost never listen to it now but they're solid versions. Could have done without them keeping Summertime Blues in the setlist on the Snakes & Arrows tour, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush Didact Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I never used to listen to it. In fact, I didn't even own a copy for years because I heard my brother's copy and the sound was so atrocious that I didn't bother with it. I bought it when it came out on vinyl, I think I got my copy sometime in 2019, and the vinyl came with a digital download. Sean Magee's remaster really breathed some life into it! Since then, I've listened to it a couple times; it comes on automatically at the end of VT in my car, and I usually just let it play through. It's not a bad album at all.

Yes and was released on the R30 tour, good way to revisit your past musical inspirations. I bought the EP at the concert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurkst Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 On this subject I watched most of the R30 DVD the other night for the first time in aeons. Absolutely tremendous, they really were playing brilliantly then. Great tour Also nice to see Steve Stills bigging up the Rush FWIW. The lads would be pumped to hear that 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytserush Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 That's my favorite song on Feedback. I'll pop Feedback in just about every summer. Really good summer album. Would have loved to have them perform it live. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In hindsight, that intro with clips of many of their great songs was fantastic. I still watch it on YouTube at least once a month...so good! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
