Test4VitalSigns Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Yes Slaine I originally read somewhere it was Wonderwall album and then last night I discovered something that says it was the Ringo album. The answer is indeed Eddy Clayton whatever album it was! Over to you Slaine Have to figure out which album it was but u covered it either way.

Slaine mac Roth Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Sorry its taken me so long to post this question but I wanted to come up with one that, in my opinion, was a bit of a stinker. Now, there are two possible answers to this question, but I want the earlier of the two, OK? I would also like to point out that the answer is available on the net, you just have to do a 'little (cough)' digging. To be fair, I'll be more generous with the clues if you want me to. OK, so the question is, which of the following Rush songs is the odd one out and why (and you'll have to be specific) Anthem Bastille Day Cygnus X-1 Finding My Way Hemispheres Passage to Bangkok. Good luck with this one and send all insults and threads to Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickyrob Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Cygnus X-1 Its the only one that, if you have a vinyl version of the albums they are all from, you can't play as a first track on a side. don't know how I came up with that, but all the others bar 'Passage to' are opening tracks, whereas 'Passage to' is the first on side 2, but Xanadu is the last track. It could also be Hemispheres as this is the only one contained wholly on one side of a vinyl disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickyrob Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Hemispheres is the only one not on any official live album releases ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickyrob Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Finding My Way. They all form part of the R30 Medley, but FMW is out of synch as I think they are played in chronological order on the tour (damn I have this in my car) which means Passage to bangkok is also out of synch. I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think You're on the right track there Rick, keep working at it. I just listed the tracks in alphabetical order - the answer is nothing to do with the order in which I listed them.

rickyrob Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Finding My Way.... Its the only one of the R30 Medley where Geddy sings something ... even though it is just "Ooooh Yeaaah!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowdog Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 They are the R30 Overture songs in alphabetical order, except Passage to Bangkok which is actually titled "A Passage to Bangkok". It should be listed first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slaine mac Roth Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 OK, I'm trying to think of one that won't make it too obvious. I think you've all correctly identified it as the R30 Overture. Now, its to do with a song that was featured in the R30 but not featured somewhere else. The time frame you're looking at is after 1978. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can only think that this might be the first time they have played it in any form since '78 (the latest date of the R30 medley songs). I would think the other answer is Hemispheres, but you wanted the earlier of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slaine mac Roth Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Looks like this one has reached an impasse. If everyone agrees, I'll give you two more days to get it. If not, I'll tell you the answer and set another question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slaine mac Roth Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 As no-one seems to be taking anymore guesses, I'll give you the answer. Ricky was closest by saying Finding My Way, which is the correct song, but got the reason wrong. The reason why it is the odd one out (any death threats can go to the wife ) is that it is the only song from the R30 Overture that was not played on the Hemispheres Tour. To be fair, I'll Rick post the next question as he was closest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
