Which 2112 version do you like best?

[LedRush]

STUDIO is pure joy!

And then flip it over and pure joy there as well. Just my opinion of course and not shared by many... :(

 

Consider it shared!

^{Studio...with a nod to Different Stages.}

[DistantEarlySignals]

I would say ATWAS, but since it isn't the whole song, I will go for the studio!

Yes, definitely shared!!!!

 

As for which is the best - I chose not to decide. The studio is wonderful. Different Stages has the entire song live (heaven!!). But the energy on the Rush in Rio and the ATWAS versions - oh bliss!!!

 

Can't pick between those 4 versions - they are all great. Plus I have some boots from the 1970's which are every bit as good as ATWAS version. Nope I can't vote on this one.

I am partial to this:

 

 

Geddy on bass is on fire - he goes all out during Grand Finale

 

Even thou they leave out my favorite part ( Oracle ), I love this version

 

The studio version is most complete for though - classic all the way around

btw - I would love to hear the entire PinkPop version from 1979 .. that has the potential to be the best one from the little bits that I have heard

i almost always prefer the studio version of a song.
