greyfriar Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Wow, what an appetizer. Sounds fine under the headphones. Thanks for the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USB Connector Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 The editing on that clip is horrendous, just like the clip from the Garden. switch switch switch switch switch.... I'm getting dizzy from the constant change in camera angles. It's like the guy in charge of the footage has a 2 second attention span. On the bright side the audio sounds great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Grownup Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Just a friendly reminder but you should change the thread title to something like "Clockwork Angels Tour Live 2112 Sound" ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolarizeMe Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 The mix sounds great although my ears picked up what could've been a near train wreck experience at the 3:19-3:23 mark. I heard there was a train wreck near the end of Where's My Thing? on the night of the Dallas recording. I wonder if that section will get fixed from a section of the Phoenix show or be left in final mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I wouldn't call that a train wreck. Sounds like a slightly bum note from Alex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snaked Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Well it sure seems like they didn't bother to go back in and fix anything. That recording is sloppy and sounds VERY live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeminiRising79 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 That performance sounds like absolute sh!t in every way. Abysmal! How could Rush let themselves sink this low? Every instrument is buried in sh!t. Even more astounding is the # of people who think it sounds great. I implore u people to closely listen to the ATWAS version of 2112 and then listen to this garbage for comparison. U ought to be astounded afterwards. If not, u have lost the ability to discern between excellence and flatulence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, u have lost the ability to discern between excellence and flatulence. I agree.I thought the sound on this clip is horrible. The Garden was a bit better. Neil's drums should pound though and everything should be clearI'm not sure anyone in the industry knows how to make a great sounding album anymore. I don't know if it is possible. You don't need to spend a lot of money nowadays to make a great sounding albumIt sounds like a bootleg from the tourSo many mistakes. They had multiple shows to choose from, you would think they would have repaired them. Neil's fill are wrong. Alex playing bum notes - these should not make it. I know Geddy's voice is rough, but I have learned to deal with that and accept itAnd yes the cuts are a bit jumpy, but hopefully it just seems this way in the context of what we have gotI can only give my opinion on what I have seen and heard, but in no way will reflect the final judgement until I listen and watch the final product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puffyshirt Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) You guys are nuts. The instruments in this album easily sound at least better than the Time Machine tour album. I think when you say that the sound is "buried in shit", you are referring to Alex's recent wall of sound guitar, which wasn't present in pre-Rush in Rio live albums. I agree that it isn't my favorite sound, but it's how it is now. And really, can they even release a live album that's harder to listen to than Rush in Rio? I love the energy, but the actual music on that one is impossible to hear. At least the drums were recorded correctly on this one, as opposed to Time Machine where Neil's high hat and kick drum were near-inaudible. And the actual playing is definitely better than Snakes & Arrows Live, which caught Neil at his worst live recording. Just listen to Passage to Bangkok on 2112, then on S&A Live, and you'll see that Neil really wasn't on his game that day. I don't think this will hit the highs of my favorite live albums (R30 and Different Stages), but the fact that the drums are recorded well and Geddy doesn't have a f***ing cold already puts it above Time Machine.
