LeaveMyThingAlone Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 So I always thought it was really cool how Rush broke into My Sharona at the end of Closer to the Heart on A Show of Hands. My question is if anyone knows whether this is something they just did for the video or they did the whole tour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbomb106 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I've heard that version a thousand times and still don't know what you're talking about. Can you please provide a time at which you think it happens? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eC_po7vkb78 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 He thinks the jam at the end of "Closer to the Heart" resembles the jam at the end of "My Sharona", specifically the bass line? I think it's reaching:Â Â Â ...NOT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesweetscience Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 There is a little jam in there that sounds similar but I never noticed it until now and probably wouldn't have if someone hadn't brought it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeaveMyThingAlone Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 Dug this interview up from October 4, 1988 Rolling Stone: So tell me about that jam at the end of the Closer to the Heart.. Alex: Well, not a lot of people know this but The Knack is probably the band with a bigger influence on us than any other, so we decided to give a little ode to them with the bass line from My Sharona. Geddy said he wanted to pay tribute to the guys and I said, what the hell Rolling Stone: Why did you say what the hell? Alex: Why wouldn't I say what the hell? Rolling Stone: It just seems like an odd thing to say Alex: That's so typical of Rolling Stone. You guys thing Depeche Mode rules the music scene Rolling Stone: Whatever. You know the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? you're so not getting in.  Alex: That's cool.  Rolling Stone: What's that smell? Alex: It's a nasty broccoli fart. What do you think of that? Rolling Stone: It sucks like Hold Your Fire Alex: This interview's over. I have to go back to making our new album. There's gonna be bunnies and stuff. Just you wait, it will put Dark Side of the Moon to shame. Then we'll see who's in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. We even hired Paula Abdul's producer so you know we mean business about rocking hard this time RS: Have fun with that   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbomb106 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I can see what the OP is saying, but it's a vague resemblance at best. Bassists will probably see what I mean.

eshine Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Not only is there zero - "My Sharona", but there really isn't much "jamming" going on during A Show of Hands. This was Rush on auto-pilot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vital signz Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 It wasn't A Show of Hands, it was the Time Machine Tour, and it wasn't My Sharona, it was Weird Al's My Bologna (out of respect for sausage)..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
