GernTheFish Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Just wondering how folks think CA will translate to the live stage. Which ones will rock, which will not sound as good live, what songs are you wanting to hear the most on tour? I need to give it more thought, but right now I'm thinking about 7cog. It's not my favorite on CA, but I have a feeling it will melt my face off when they play it live. Any others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pound of Obscure Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I'm looking forward to hearing them sonically. If I can hear all the parts I'll be ecstatic. Melting my face off would be a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really looking forward to hearing the title track live. I think it will be FAR superior to the CD version, which probably has the weakest mix on the album.

Jeffrey Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Based on how great BU2B sounded live, I suspect they will sound great. I can't wait for The Anarchist, Carnies and especially The Garden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerofthor Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Probably a hell of a lot like the cd. Too loud, hard to understand vocals, and a muddy mix. But to really find out, here's what you do. Get on the freeway, do about 75-80 mph, open all the windows, crank CA as loud as it will go, have people scream in the car, etc. That is a pretty good approximation of how it will sound live.

They Bow Defeated Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Forgot to mention: hearing The Garden, The Wreckers, etc. live with the string section is going to be sublime. I'm sure that some will bitch, but WTF it's something new and exciting that Rush has never tried and I'm really looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GernTheFish Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 I'm a little curious how they will do the megaphone voice. Will Geddy sing this or will it be a triggered recorded voice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Geddy sing this or will it be a triggered recorded voice? - Geddy sings live and the effect is controlled via foot pedal. - Geddy sings live and the effect is controlled from the soundboard. - Geddy doesn't sing at all and the effect is triggered from wherever.

The Mighty Dudad Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 QUOTE (greyfriar @ Jul 27 2012, 02:23 PM)...snip... - Geddy doesn't sing at all and the effect is triggered from wherever. It will be disappointing if this is the route they choose to go. There are pretty significant chunks of lyric sung with the megaphone effect...having Geddy (or Neil or Alex) hit a key/pad/pedal to trigger an extended sample would not be cool. Also, if the timing isn't perfect, the song would be totally f'd up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if they just trigger a sample. When they played "Double Agent" on the Counterparts tour they triggered the talking parts.

Well obviously all the harder ones will rock, slower ones like Halo Effect, Garden or something too 'poppy' like Wish Them Well will signal major restroom traffic jams. Basically do not even try to go to restrooms during any of those songs if they play them, which I have a serious doubt about them playing any of those 3 because of it killing the energy in the crowd and Rush seems to really try to avoid those songs.
