cygnus_thegodofbalance Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 (edited) I'm not watching any YouTube videos because of performance and/or lighting spoilers, but I was just wondering if YYZ and Limelight are sped up to normal, or are they played slowly like on S&A?

moedrabowsky Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 YYZ is still kinda slow, but Limelight is back up to the tempo on the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnus_thegodofbalance Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 Weird. I wonder why they slowed them down so much for that tour. I guess for the same reason YYZ was played at lightning speed on the Grace Under Pressure Tour. Something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun3701 Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 do they play these songs at a set tempo like with a click track or something, or does it just vary night after night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nim2 Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 No big deal if it is different timing to me. I like the variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moedrabowsky Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 It really was a great show. ONe of the best times I've had at a show since, oh, 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush no longer use Click tracks.... There's nothing on either song that's sequenced.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIAS2112 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 My friend Brian whom I brought to the show (who is a very avid studier of Rush drums, said that Neil reverted to all the original fills from the MP album as well as the tuning of the analog drums. Apparantly Neil deviated in the late 80's on how he played them) How about YYZ at this tempo? This is one of my favs just from the surrounding fans reactions.

They don't use a click track. Everything they do is how they do it. If it's off it means they are just a tad bit slow that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jomboni Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I didn't do this with all the songs, but on the ones that have had "tempo issues" on recent tours, I compared the bootleg from opening night to the studio versions. YYZ and Limelight's length are both like... 2-3 seconds longer in the live versions, so I think the tempos are pretty on point with the album versions. Same goes for the rest of the set (which I won't list, in case you're trying to avoid it.) Tempos are pretty on for the whole show! BU2B started off a little slow but picked up by the chorus.

shaun3701 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 let's face it, they're OLD now and they're not going to play blazingly fast like they did in their 20s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
