esmeralda Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Different Stages for me.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickyrob Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Different Stages, nearly all of it on there. I do like the 'Discovery' part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New World Kid Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 I hate to differ in opinion (actually, no I don't, but anyway)Â I like studio better, I DON'T like what they did to discovery in DS....and nothing else is complete, so there you have it. Plus, I dunno, but to me, part of the song is Geddy screeching in the background during Overture, and I don't think they do that on DS (but don't guote me on that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-13 Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Different Stages because......it sounds soooo good Live...and it's the whole song as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ES-335 Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Can't beat the Studio version ... imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
war2112 Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 While I greatly enjoyed hearing it in it's entirety both in concert and on Different Stages, I just love the raw, vocal power Geddy unleashes on ATWAS. When he tears into the Priests lines, you can just see them shouting down from their thrones. So my vote went for ATWAS.  edited for spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushGuru Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Definetly Different Stages version. I listened to that version so many times on my last vacation it has become the default version of 2112. Other versions seem empty without all the DS variations.

afansince74 Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 The Different Stages version is awesome!! But I can't tear myself away from the memories of hearing 2112 for the first time, so I gotta go against the grain here and vote for the studio version!

Spike Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 My vote went to DS for the entirety, but I agree with war2112 about ATWAS. I just listened to that album earlier tonight, and I love the energy on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaine mac Roth Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Like a few others, I've gone for the studio. Nothing to do with quality or anything else but because 2112 was the first thing I listened to by Rush properly. I still remember being blown away on hearing Overture for the first time. I think I can say that hearing the studio version for the first time was a defining moment in my life, starting an obsession that's lasted over 25 years.

I think I can say that hearing the studio version for the first time was a defining moment in my life, starting an obsession that's lasted over 25 years. I completely understand that. But to me, the DS version takes me back to that special time, and I remember saying to my buddy, "They're going to PLAY THE WHOLE THING and going absolutely nuts!

Cygnus Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Different stages , I personally like discovery, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hap Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I've always preferred the studio version,but I will give you the DS version another chance. In ATWAS it doesn't convince me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatwhitenorth Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 There was something magical the first time I heard the entire 2112 set live on the T4E tour so Different Stages always brings me back to that night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 The All The World's A Stage version is my favourite. It has a period authenticity that later versions lack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main reason for me is by the time I heard the whole thing live and truly knew the piece, the studio version was burned in my brain....The more intricate parts like discovery, presentation, etc. come through best when wearing headphones or just cranked.. Now as far as second best..I agree with alot here and choose the DS version... Oh well, can't have everything... OR CAN WE??..............  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yyzyy Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Gotta be Different Stages...The best live album Rush has made by <--------------FAR--------------->! The sound, crowd, set...everything is perfect...It's got that certain something that RiR doesn't have! So definetely DS...love that extended guitar intro!!!

madra sneachta Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 First time I ever heard it was live on ATWAS. I've gone with that version because it kicks ass, and because the "We'd like to do Side One from our latest album....." intro is supercool.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll go along with Madra on this one I'll go along with both of you as well. First live album I ever purchased, and the first one that I heard 2112 live on. It's SO kick ass, just as Madra pointed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
