jdouglas Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 (edited) looks great, but why not keep the order as close to the original GUP setlist as possible since you have alot of the same tunes? I'd definitely come see you but I'm on the good side of the state. Good luck!

Chris Armstrong Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I was at the show (drove down from Oakland - I am a Pitt student and must've been the youngest there by at least 20 years). I wasn't sure what to expect, but you guys absolutely blew me away. I told all my Rush-loving friends about you and will bring them along next time you play. Please keep me informed. As long as I don't have an early class the next day, I will be there for sure. Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Signals Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 QUOTE (jdouglas @ Oct 4 2009, 10:18 PM) so how did it go? It was a great show. We rocked the house and I think we changed quite a few skeptics minds that might have thought we couldn't pull playing Rush music. We are back in the "studio" to learn more songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Lerxst Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Did you manage to get someone to video the gig? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Signals Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 (edited) My wife used our digital camera and took video of most of the songs. I need to get them uploaded to my computer and edit them so I can post them on youtube. I will try to get them posted in the next few days. I am not sure how well the video will be, as it was dark in the room we played in (except for lights on stage) and the audio will probably not be that great either.

Sir Lerxst Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 You may be surprised on the audio. There is a video of my band playing YYZ and it sounds not too bad concidering it was a cheap camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farcryoverspilledmilk Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 The more 80s Rush in your setlist...the better! Can you hang with Digital Man (the real Signals version not that S&A slop), how about all of Fear? I like that you aren't representing the 2000s, keepin' it real.

Distant Signals Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 Thanks for the positive comments. Fear trilogy? Maybe someday, cause Witch Hunt is on the radar. I am a big fan of the 80's and 90's stuff, cause I play the keyboards and that was their strongest era for synthesizers. Digital man is on the radar as well. And like all our versions, they are replicated just like the original recordings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdouglas Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 (edited) You should invest in a digital audio recorder like a Zoom H2 or something if you are going to post videos of your shows (or better yet mic everything and record it through the board). The camcorder mics are just so painful to listen too for indoor recording with bass attack overwhemling all the mids. As far as setlist go, go with what your singer can pull off the best. Not every Rush song is in everyone's range. Good Luck! Edited October 17, 2009 by jdouglas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
