losingit2k Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 (edited) Well this one was a hard on for me! I Love Show Don't Tell, They've never played Presto or Available Light and I Love them both. The boys love The Pass and Chain Lightning has a great lead. But I had to go with the essential Rush song from Presto: Show Don't Tell! Besides, I just love that song. Rules!

SpiritOfRush Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 THE PASS...(played before, but a great song nonetheless). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pause Rewind Replay Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Going sideways again... maybe it's because of the BP spill, but the first song that came to mind was Red Tide. "Let us not go gently into the endless winter night..." Really though, Presto was my first Rush album, so I'd be thrilled if they play ANYTHING from it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merely Space Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Presto. I've always wanted to hear this song live, and I was sad they didn't play it on the Presto Tour. Second place is Warpaint. That song works very well live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmotionDetector Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Tough call, but I went with AVAILABLE LIGHT. I really think they could make this sound special in a live setting. With that said, there were two other songs I would really love to see from Presto as well, so I'll break it down to what I think about them... Would love to see it, but unlikely (due to piano): Available Light Would love to see it, and slightly more likely: Chain Lightning Would love to see it, and most likely: Scars Any of those three would be great IMO.

quickfree Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 well they skipped this album even on the 30th anni tour. really shows how highly they regard it but i think Presto the title track will be debuted (possibly) this time. then again, its been virtually passed over twice. a diamond in the rough, like cut to the chase. are these songs "the new camera eye" then? the song i'd personally like it to see is red tide.

moedrabowsky Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 (edited) I don't get the love for Scars. It's like anti-Rush to me. One of my very least favorite Rush tunes. Anyway, I picked Presto. Second would be The Pass. Edited May 27, 2010 by moedrabowsky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todem Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Voted for Available Light. This is truly one of the unique and most ambitious tunes to come out of the Presto sessions. A great song IMO. I would rank my top 3 to want to hear as: Available Light Presto Show Don't Tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mara Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Look, I love Available Light. But is Geddy's voice up to night after night of "in the available light"? They'd surely have to tune it down a half step or so. It's not really that high, if I remember correctly, but it's awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micgtr71 Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 ANAGRAM (For Mongo)...Ok, so I said that just to tick everyone off. In all seriousness, I would love to hear anything from this cd except for Superconductor or the aforementioned. Actually, Superconductor is such a horrid song that it belongs on RTB. In a way that shows them as forward-thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
