The Analog Cub Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 What the shit is this shit? Just listened to the Mirrors bootleg, which is actually pretty good! Then I heard Xanadu cut itself off into none other than Superconductor. wat. Probably one of the biggest musical crimes ever :( 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I have that one. I'll give it a listen. Any excuse to listen to you-know-what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 This is the version that sounds like they used a moog synthesizer in the song which enhanced my love for the song greatly! Back to the topic...I agree. Fatal error and one I hope they never make again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geddy's Soul Patch Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Even though I like Superconductor, that was not a cool thing to do. It's the equivalent of Neil standing up in the middle of his drum solo and taking a huge shit on the snare 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 They did something similar on the Counterparts tour, but instead of Superconductor, they had it segue into Hemispheres. Now THAT was cool. Xanadu -> Hemispheres that's AWESOME. Xanadu -> Superconductor FK NO 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Xanadu -> Hemispheres that's AWESOME. Xanadu -> Superconductor FK NO Xanadu -> Hemispheres that's bearable. Xanadu -> Superconductor that's bad. Medleys/excerpts suck, just play a full song or don't. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could've lived without Finding My Way and Anthem being sung by 90's Geddy, and I don't really appreciate them only playing part of Red Barchetta.

Yeah, give me some flavor and get out. Xanadu? You play every last note! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now THAT was cool. Xanadu -> Hemispheres that's AWESOME. Xanadu -> Superconductor FK NO It also doesn't hurt that the Counterparts version of Xanadu might be my favorite live version ever. They play it in the begining like the entire arena is going to liff off any second. Edited July 1, 2014 by ytserush 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They pro-shot the video and put the whole concert on YouTube. To be honest, I love the way they did with Xanadu -> Superconductor. I hope they do it again on next tour! I oughta slap you.

PolarizeMe Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 How about a resounding no? Xanadu -> Hemispheres = PerfectionXanadu -> Working Man (as heard on the R30 Tour) = GreatXanadu -> YYZ (as heard on the Presto Tour) = Awkward to say the leastXanadu -> Superconductor = Absolute desecration More like Stupidconductor if you ask me... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) The sigh was for Zumbi's remark, and I agree with your plan of action. I'll give a listen now to that bootleg. Just remembered I have that on a DVD. I'll give both a watch and a listen. Edited July 1, 2014 by Lorraine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that would've made the R30 version even cooler was if they had the whole intro instead of starting at Alex's arpeggio. But hey, he brought out the doubleneck for it like he did on Counterparts. I haven't heard the Xanadu -> YYZ version that would be weird. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remembered I have that on a DVD. I'll give both a watch and a listen. The whole bootleg itself is pretty awesome, it's got the best of CP and around this time they stopped focusing the entire set on the current decade like they did for the RTB tour (on Mirrors I think I remember like 5 songs that were pre-Power Windows out of the 20+). Plenty of older material to supplement the at-that-point-new stuff. Oh, yeah, and there's Xanadu and Hemispheres :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Bowl City, I don't know how to thank you. I have so much Rush stuff, half of it I haven't watched yet. This is one that I never watched. It is hot where I am today, but I spent seven minutes with goosebumps watching that. Geddy's voice was magnificent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
