tk4207 Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 (edited) I noticed that during La Villa Strangiato Geddy is playing new/different synth chords underneath Alex's solo and during the riff immediately after the solo, and personally I love it! It adds so much more depth and kind of gives it a spacey, ethereal feeling, compared to the studio version and even past live versions (ESL and ASOH)! So I figured I'd ask if anyone likes or dislikes it, and why! Edited September 4, 2010 by tk4207 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marblesmike Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 If I'm correct about what you're thinking of, he's just using a different synth pad sound. Instead of sounding like the traditional analog synth sound, it sounds a bit more modern and spacey right? Those aren't chords, just a different sound. Different chords would mean a different melody and ultimately a different song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe; I was thinking that they were the same root notes, but he was playing those minor chords in a more pronounced way than before, it seemed. And yes, I was also talking about the different patch, which sounds much cooler! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summer_sky Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I dunno (nor does it matter) cos I ain't no musician, nor am I a perfectionist nor an analysist, however, I have waited for many years to hear La Villa Strangiato played live in my presence again and I am happy. Both shows I have experienced on this tour (16 Aug Red Rocks & Allentown, PA) I have had the pleasure of RUSH laying their primo renditions of this glorious song upon my senses and sensibilities. Life is good to me, indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
