Mindcore Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 I think they made a mistake here. It was performed in it's entirety during the Moving Pictures tour in 1981, at least at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto when I saw them. Mind you, the songs were not performed in order. The songs were spread throughout the evening but all songs from the album were performed. Regardless, I am looking forward to hearing them live again! It's been almost 30 years! I'm really stoked to hear Camera Eye and Vital Signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowdog2112 Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 QUOTE They didn't ever play Witch Hunt until 1984. This is correct. They did not play it before this but it's amazing how often I hear people say "I remember them playing such and such". Memories are tricky things. Grace Under Pressure Tour May 7, 1984 - November 25, 1984 Highlights of this tour include the then-complete performance of "Fear" (parts 1-3), performed in sequence, which included the first performances of "Witch Hunt". http://www.2112.net/powerwindows/main/Tours.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mighty fine setlist, if I do say so myself. I agree. The bookending of the set with the opening and closing parts of 2112 worked beautifully. This tour is kinda ruined for my because of the lousy sound mix. Alex's guitars are buried. I remember thinking ESL sounded horrible (except for side 3, from thr PeW tour). I saw Rush on the ESL tour in Dec '81 and it sounded the same; you had to strain to hear Alex. Not sure if newer releases of ESL were mixed any better....

If the song was not rehearsed it was not played. There is no way in hell they would play a song one time on a tour. You are mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
