gestet2112 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 What are your ultimate 3 Rush albums you'd pay HUGE to see LIVE? Since the Rush catalog is so HUGE, if you have more than 1 group of 3 albums prioritize them in groups of THREE! Each album would be played LIVE in its entirety in sequence. If you choose albums pre GuP it assumes that Geddy's voice LIVE today would match his voice during the time the album was recorded for integrity/fantasy purposes. As time goes by & your moods change & life experiences evolve, feel free to come back here to RE-PRIORITIZE your list & feel free to state WHY since we're all curious here. Here's a sample: 1. 2112, AFTK, HEMISPHERES 2. RUSH, FBN, CoS 3.PeW, MP, SIGNALS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAccountant Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Three albums = more or less a 3 hour show. Making the assumptions set forth for me it would be: 1 Counterparts, Presto & 2112. Why? IMO Counterparts & Presto have a lot of interesting material that I do not believe they have ever played live and which I would like to hear live. 2112 because it kick butt and is my favorite Rush album. Open with Counterparts. Play it and the 1st half of Presto. Give the guys their break, let them resume with the title track to Presto and the 2nd half of the album. Then let it rip with 2112. 2. Fly By Night, Hold Your Fire, Power Windows. Why? I like all 3 albums and I think it would be interesting to see how the last 2 translate to a complete live performance. Plus, again their is a fair amount of material that I have not heard live in person. Plus it would be neat to see them do Tai Shan (which I happen to like). How they would actually pull it off.... Open with Fly By Night. Play it and the first half of Hold Your Fire. Give the guys their well earned break, let them come back starting with "Lock & Key" and the 2nd half of Hold Your Fire. Then finish up with Power Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclonus X-1 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I'd probably just go with my three favorites: Caress of Steel Moving Pictures Permanent Waves Signals might be swapped in there depending on the mood I'm in. Alternatively, I'd enjoy a set that looked like this: Rush Counterparts Presto Those are three albums I feel are very underrated and have a heck of a lot of good songs.

Agreed. For example when Rush first started touring on the road they played small clubs/bars then became the supporting act in larger venues before they Headlined. Ideally a 3-5000 seat venue like Massey Hall in Toronto would be the best Live concert experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majestyk Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I was watching Cheers the other day and Woody Boyd proclaimed that one of his wishes in life was to be a drummer in a power trio. I have to wonder if the writer of that dialog was thinking about Rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to say, although it wasn't the entire 3 LP's, I saw #1 in 1978. Edited January 24, 2012 by youngoldman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
