I cant remember a single thing about that 85 show. I was only 9. Only thing I still remember to this day was how bad Geddy's voice was that night. Maybe it was late in the tour, maybe he was sick, but even at 9 I knew damn well he sounded awful, and I remember my stepdad mentioning that to me.

 

Cant remember a single song they played though. His voice is my only memory of it. I had already been a fan since I was 6 so I was surprised at how he sounded live.

Couldn't remember all of them, so checked Power Windows . March 23rd, 1983 in The Omni, which had some of the worst acoustics ever. Thank god that dump is no more.

You guys aren't gonna believe that I do not remember a damn thing about The Camera Eye, nor Broon's Bane. I was 15 and had JUST had major reconstructive ear surgery the week prior. Mom almost didn't let me go, but my doctor okay'd it as long as I wore earplugs (promised I would and then didn't).

Yes it was a band called
RIOT
if my memory serves me right

check out the site in this thread and check out the videos for some

Honestly I dont get it. Maybe it was different during that tour, but I saw them just a few years later, and ever since then when they had an opening act we got 2 hours shows, which you could not fit all those songs in.

That is the set list and it was only 2hrs, maybe a couple of minutes longer. A lot of the songs were short and part of a medley and Neil's solo in those days was maybe 3:30 minutes. Beneath Between and behind is less than 3 minutes. Broone's bane is 1:30. The portion of Armageddon was about a minute and same goes for In The End.

I would say they were in their "prime" at this point....

 

I agree with you. That was when they were at their best, never as good since.

 

that's bullshit. maybe the setlist hasn't been that good since...but their sound is like vintage scotch today...
