CTTC absolutely. As much as I love Losing It, the chance to play it "right" was the CA tour, as others have mentioned. CTTC is the cut I want to hear from Counterparts.

So much better than Stck it Out or Nobody's Hero.

The very definition of damning with faint praise.

 

Ha. I just meant that they played both of those songs live, even though I know they were the "hits" off the album, I wasn't a big fan.

Losing It is too close to art imitating life, in the case of Rush. And I don't think the boys would want that easy comparison. It's an easy song to sing in your 30s, when they wrote it. Kind of uncomfortable at this point.

 

Ged was quoted that he liked Cut to the Chase, so it's more likely.

CTTC by far, much better live song to keep the energy flowing. LI is a good song, but keeping it aside for 30 years down the road when my kids put me in the rest home.

The solo in Losing It wins me over.

 

But it would sound odd on guitar rather than violin.

 

I always figured it was both guitar and violin :huh:

 

Sounds like straight violin to me, then the guitar comes in after the solo.

I feel that Cut to the Chase would work better live and plus I really love the sound of Counterparts.

 

 

Losing It is cool but it would probably kill the mood of the concert if they played it.

Cut To The Chase. Losing It is a good song, but it would've made more sense if it was played on the Clockwork Angels Tour, as they had the string ensemble.

I feel like I ought to clarify, because I've said a few other times that Losing It is not an absolute favorite of mine...I understand it would be very special and all, to see it played live- but to me, no more than anything else that they've never played live.

 

And then there's the subject matter that the lyrics reflect.

 

So...Cut to the Chase, for the win.
