Dating back to the Signals tour of 1982 when I first saw them live I can't remember what they have played when I have seen them (missed a couple of tours due to varying circumstances).

 

Camera Eye is a given but I would like to see Kid Gloves. Somebody mentioned Losing It early on and that would be a perfect song for an unplugged Geddy and Alex song while Neil recovers after his next solo.

I always thought that was some of Neils best drumming, with a great bassline.

EXCELLENT, underrated song. Great lyrics, great reggae-influenced music.

Absolutely. Listen to Alex's chord progression. As well as Geddy's bass line (albeit sped up)

You can hear it in Alex's rythm playing for sure, but yeah, now that you mention it, Geddys bass line does sound like a sped up reggae riff.

Indeed....Rush has sampled all kinds of music over the years. I like that choice as well.

Wow, seriously? I just looked up Bob Marley on YouTube and the first result alone resembles a slower version of The Enemy Within. Listen to the guitar chords on the upbeat and the underlying bass.

Sweet Miracle or Kid Gloves are my big ones. Sweet Miracle would be SO GOOD live... it's one of my favourite Rush songs. And Kid Gloves... is Kid Gloves. What else is there to say?

I agree, those are good candidates.

 

And welcome!!!

Ive always pictured Geddy sitting at a grand piano playing this one. It really has a feel unlike any other Rush tune.
