Earthshine Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 In the tour program Neil says that The Camera Eye was never performed live before. He must be losing his memory because it most certainly was performed on the Moving Pictures Tour in 1981. I saw them do it front row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was played on the Signals tour too, though in a shortened version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metaldad Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 It was played on 2 tours, how the hell does he forget ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shreddy Lee Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Oh come on. Especially with the crazy amount of touring they do, how can you expect them to remember the setlist on a tour from 30 years ago? Neil's not the only one, I've seen interviews with Ged and Al where one of them will say it was never played and then the other says "wait I think we did play it once", etc. Not a big deal, anyway.

Either the beginning New York section or latter London section would be played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have a bootleg of them doing The Camera Eye live at some State Fair (Pennsylvania, I think). Perhaps that was on this same tour, I don't know.

fordgt99 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Not a mistake by Neil, but did anyone notice Retrospective 3 is not listed on the next to last page? It IS pictured on the last page but odd it got left of the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GernTheFish Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Their answers are never consistent. Sometimes they say they played Camera Eye and sometimes they deny it. Hmmm. Seems a bit odd, doesn't it? Are they trying to hide something??? It could be a scam...no, wait, it's a conspiracy!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 I bet they forgot they actually wrote some songs. Decades of touring and focusing on what they are currently doing leads to lapses in memory. I can't remember in detail what I did day to day last year, let alone decades ago.

We, as the fans, probably know their trivia better than they do. Welcome to TRF, Rash 2112. I also heard Rush play TCE on the Moving Pictures and Signals tours of 1981-82. But I have trouble remembering most of the '81 concert. Was it the drugs or my date that distracted me? I don't recall. The guys probably take a "Well, if you say so" approach to all the trivia and info fans tell them -- stuff they forgot about over time.
