GeddyLeeFender Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Depends if im in the mood (hehe), but seriously live versions are so awesome but I usually end up listening to whole concerts instead and my Rush playlist of all studio albums on shuffle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gompers Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 QUOTE (Ancient Ways @ Dec 12 2011, 08:19 PM) Everything off Presto. Sound sucks on studio album. I agree with this. Presto had terrible production. Too thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemispheresserehpsimeH Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Witch Hunt on ASOH. There is something about it, even with how "clean" it sounds, it has such an emotion in it. And with all the different live versions we have of it now, I still love Alex's improvised solo at the end of the ASOH version the most. It adds so much to it. I almost can't listen to the studio version because it doesn't have that solo in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this. Presto had terrible production. Too thin. But don't you think EVERYTHING from that time period sounded "thin"? Regardless of the artist? I don't think it was until the "grunge" movement around 92 that rock music started to grow back a pair. Clem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unattractive Truth Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 QUOTE (ytserush @ Dec 12 2011, 08:23 PM) I prefer to hear the live versions of every Rush song more than its studio counterpart. I don't know if I would say "every Rush song", but probably close to it. I listen to the live albums more than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclonus X-1 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I really dig the GUP Tour rendition of Vital Signs. I like the sound on that recording in general, and it seems to work particularly well for VS. The whole "from the norm" final stretch is just awesome.

Presto-a RUSH fan! Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 You can't count this as a song, but the R30 Overture is one of the best live pieces of music I have ever heard. The songs mesh so well together and they are just at the top of their game. The way each song transitions, it's just a masterpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best example of a live track trumping the studio original of almost any band I like... A Passage to Bangkok rocks live. The ESL version is amazing. Also, I'd say BRAVADO is another one that comes off better live than in studio, especially with that extended solo at the end. The DS version is probably my favourite overall. Also, while I wouldn't say that I prefer the live version over studio, WITCH HUNT sounds awesome live. I love how much heavier the guitar parts sound when played live on the last few tours.

Shreddy Lee Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I've been seeing a lot of love for Bravado DS in here, but I have to say I think the Rio version is the best. The extended ending with the solo and jam are just amazing on that one, better than they're done on DS in my opinion, especially Alex's solo. It's just beautiful on Rio. Most in this thread have also been mentioning Closer to the Heart on ASOH, but in terms of live versions I think the ending jam on DS is the best. As for other live versions I prefer over the studio versions: Distant Early Warning - Rio Leave That Thing Alone - Cleveland Resist - Rio (as others have said, I wouldn't dream of listening to the studio version, but this one is excellent) Time Stand Still - Cleveland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monger Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Entre Nous- Snakes & Arrows live Secret Touch- Snakes & Arrows live A whole bunch off of SNA live, actually. That tour and album rocked hard! Marathon- ASOH Earthshine- R30 That sweet, epic version of The Trees followed by Xanadu, introduced by Broon's Bane on ESL. Holy shit, that's one of the best extended passages on any of their live albums. It really hasnt been topped. Too many to name, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
