Steevo Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Every track off this is great, then to have it live, then to have a near-perfect recording, (I haven't heard the Jap version as of yet) and and and...2112 in its entirety!!! Its insane how relentless it is. Does anyone else share the same hit from this disc??? Ok, need to lie down and rest now. Holy crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kozmo4Rush Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 To me, its the only "live" sounding live disc they have. I like it so much, I went and did this: http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g11/Kozmo4Rush/DSTatoo.jpg Glad to have been there! http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g11/Kozmo4Rush/100_1385.jpg Kozmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show Don't Tell Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Yeah, Disc 1 is epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I agree. The whole project is bombs-away the best live album they have, IMO. But Disc 1 is the topper of the three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kid glove Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 all 3 are very good to me. being a drum solo freak of sorts. neils ds is the absolute best i have ever heard of his. i was 11 years old when ATWAS was brought home by my older brother. 1976 i believe. so i've heard alot of his work over years the atwas drum solo melted my mental chain the first time i heard it. stuttered for a week! this was also the time frame when neils entire "old school" drumset was covered in black velvit curtain. it would stay covered as the opening song would start, while he's playing. then it would fall showing the chrome drumset and all the percussion instruments all shiny and sparkling. his drumset was off the hook for the time. i really miss his old school drumset alot. his new ones are awesome and all but fail to trully show what he used to really do in neil's younger years.

reani14 Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 DS is my stuck on an island disc.. But i have the japan version and having FOrce ten on disc 2 just makes it more of a complete concert , and a killer kick ass version of that song... But sound wise both versions sound the same... and i like those mini tourbooks too, they were made with real quality paper. rather than the flimsy one that came with rush in rio for vapor trails tour.. Cheap cheap thin paper.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fridge Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 It's good, but ATWAS still blows it out of the water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tel Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 hey steevo,its great to hear somebody speak with such passion about how rush affects them. i had the same overwhelming glow just last night listening to hemispheres headphones on eyes closed and cranked up to 11,man it was mind blowing!!

ArrowSnake Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Yeah, DS is the best sounding live album, although the new one also sounds pretty good. My favorite song on DS is definitely The Analog Kid on disc 2, it blows me away every time. I also love the guy shouting "That's OK Alex, shake it off" in Driven.

apetersvt Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 For some reason by disc 2, developed a defect after about the 2nd time listening. I recently got a copy of it and listened to it for the first time in years. I wasn't that impressed. However, I will always remember how my jaw hit the floor when they went into Discovery (at the Cap center in DC) and realized that they were going to play 2112 in entirety. Therefore disc 1 brings back some great memmories. Disc 3 is the bees knees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Troll Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 QUOTE (ReRushed @ Sep 12 2008, 06:53 PM) I like Disc 3 better. That's because Disc 3 is better If I were to listen to a Rush live album I'd pick ATWAS then DS Disc 3. Then well it'd be back to ATWAs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad I was able to see some shows from that time period. After every break in 2112 I kept shouting something like "KEEP GOING GUYS!". Of course I wasn't into the internet back then and had no idea they'd play all 7 parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del_Duio Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Oh, I also like how friggin' fast they play some of the songs on DS. Listen to Natural Science on DS and then again on Snakes and Arrows live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiddletownDreamer Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 DS is my favorite live album, too. Bravado stands out for me as a perfect performance; always liked the song but it became something epic on DS with the extended outro... the studio & RIR versions pale by comparison. I love it so much I made it my ringtone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRocinanteKid Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 If you had any sense you'd realise it is in fact disc three of Different Stages that is perfection. I do enjoy both of the first two but let's be honest Rush were in their prime around the time of A Farewell To Kings and Hemispheres so a live recording from that period being the greatest live recording they ever put out would make an awful lot of sense... and it does. What an album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show Don't Tell Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 The whole album is great -- all 3 CDs. The Analog Kid is truly epic, as is Bravado, Driven and of course 2112 in its ENTIRETY! BTW - I believe the guy who says "Shake it off, Alex" is actually a member here.
