aaronrusso Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Q:You'll occasionally throw a more obscure tune into your set list. Over the past few years you've done "Entre Nous," "Circumstances," and "The Camera Eye," and your die-hard fans lose their minds. A: We try to do that. We're stuck with certain songs that we kind of have to play, but generally we do try to go back to songs that we haven't played either in a long time or haven't at all. It's fun to revisit those songs and inject a little bit of new life into them. We weren't really keen on playing "The Camera Eye" for a very long time. It wasn't until we ended up doing the whole Moving Pictures album that we made an effort. It ended up being our favorite song to play on a nightly basis. It's a challenging song to play and it's long. There are a lot of ups and downs and a lot of melody changes and key changes. It's a workout but to play it well is very, very satisfying for us. We'll continue to play it on this next tour. interesting...anyone else see this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CE24 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Anyone notice the different mixes between the Time Machine Live CD and DVD? I bought them both at the same time, got the cool 'RASH' shirt with the set. I put in the CD on the way home, and immediately skipped to Camera Eye, as it is one of my favorite Rush songs. I was a little miffed from the get go. Geddy's vocals were horrendous (I'm quite aware the son was recorded 30+ years ago, but still......). When I got home and popped in the DVD, the vocals were quite adequate, and enjoyable. They even show a few buddies of mine on the DVD numerous times. They scored fourth row tickets the day of the show through the ticket distributor for $92 a seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketom Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I dont see them changing the set list for next year. They might tweak with it from the current list, rotating different songs in and out. I doubt that they'll add anything new to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always attributed it to the DVD's visuals engaging me such that I don't notice the audio flaws, whereas when listening to the CD I'm more hyperfocused on the music.

OGr8imL84AD8inF8sBlackSedan Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Saw CE on Time Machine and it was good, but not great. I'd way rather hear Jacob's Ladder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I was itching for them to play that tune, after hearing it live, I realized it was much better left at the studio.

It's not that it was "bad", it's a studio song. And much to my dismay, I'm getting the feeling Jacob's Ladder is in the same category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Principled Man Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 QUOTE (mazyyz @ Sep 28 2012, 11:34 PM) It just doesn't work "live"......... It "worked" just fine when I saw them play it. It was the most anticipated song of the entire Tour, and it was GREAT...... What, specifically, does the band have to do for the song to "work" live in concert?
