Segue Myles Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 That reminds me of something else I read in the book for all of you Mission lovers here. Apparently, there is another version of that song being safely kept in a vault somewhere that is longer than the one on the album. They plan to release is one day in some special Rush over-priced package. Maybe they did already. I do not know. Excited. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Did you all know that they used a thirty piece orchestra and a 25-person choir on Marathon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I just double checked - it's Marathon. Here's another tidbit. At the end of ATWAS, the clapping? The very last claps you hear are Alex, Geddy and Neil out in the parking lot after the concert getting into their car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snyder80 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Did you all know that they used a thirty piece orchestra and a 25-person choir on Marathon? I did know that. And it makes the last chorus of that song one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written or performed. It's so grandiose and overwhelming that if it's utterly quiet and I'm alone, that lump in my throat becomes quite large. Rush certainly has written some breathtaking music. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
