rushajax Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Ceiling Unlimited caught me by surprise when they played it during the Vapor Trails tour. Sounded great live...they should have kept it in the rotation. Workin them Angels is also much better live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost In Xanadu Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I always liked Dreamline, but the first time I saw it on the RTB tour, blew me away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleRushmonkey Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Force ten and Manhattan project. I hadn't really listened to them before I saw them live but note I think that they are great songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Natural Science and the acoustic version of Resist that they did on a couple of tours. Usually I would hate anything done acoustic, but they really made it work for that song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disk98 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Faithless. Kind of boring studio (not bad, but still…), very good live. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmotionDetector Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 First one that comes to mind is CARNIES. I was a huge fan of CA from the beginning...but I always ranked Carnies near the bottom. It didn't really resonate with me until they played it live...it was smokin'! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drummerrobin Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Presto, Halo Effect and The Body Electric are songs that immediately spring to mind. The live versions of those songs from the last two tours completely trump their studio counterparts imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powderfinger Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 "The Big Money" was great on the CA tour. It's much more muscular live. I don't care for the studio version, with the cheesy effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patjnev Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 One Little Victory . I don't know if it was seeing them live for the first time in almost 10 years . Or the fact that maybe playing it live eliminated the clipping and distortion we hear on the recording , but it kicked ass. In fact I do remember thinking at the time it sounded so clear . The seperation of the instruments and especially the guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pale Facsimile Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) S&A was my first live Rush tour, and I was mostly still new to Rush except for what was on R30 and Snakes & Arrows, so that tour was mostly me being unfamiliar with all the deep cuts they played. By the time Time Machine came around, I'd say I was familiar with about 65-70% of the catalog. Over the course of Time Machine and Clockwork Angels tours, the songs that I was really awakened to after seeing them live were: Presto, Faithless, Vital Signs, Grand Designs, The Body Electric, Where's My Thing? The songs that, despite seeing live, still didn't do anything for me, were Spindrift (as mentioned earlier, I did know most of S&A going into that tour), Seven Cities of Gold (still my least favorite CA song) and The Anarchist (sorry guys, I know it's a forum favorite...and it is a decent song...it just doesn't RESONATE with me for some reason). Also an interesting thing that can wake people up to songs, believe it or not, is WHERE they're positioned in the setlist. Subdivisions is my example for that. To me, Subdivisions was good, but was just "that synthy pop hit that sneaks its way in there...sometimes later on (S&A), sometimes as a set closer (T.M.). But holy crap...put that sucker smack dab at the top of the show, as on the CA tour, and it's UNBELIEVABLE!!!
