RushianRoulette Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Am I the only person here who's bothered by the fact that Alex never plays the Earthshine solo live the way it was recorded? As a result I've always felt Earthshine is quite weak live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vital signz Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Why yes. Yes you are. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narps Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) Not a fan here either way. There is something about it that is grating whether live or stuio. This statement would fit just as well in the unpopular opinions thread... Edited October 13, 2015 by Narps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jomboni Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I prefer the live solo to the studio version honestly! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket ignites Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I love the live version so I'll have to listen to the studio against it to compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principled Man Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Am I the only person here who's bothered by the fact that Alex never plays the Earthshine solo live the way it was recorded? As a result I've always felt Earthshine is quite weak live. Being that the studio version contains multi-tracked guitar parts, there would have to be two or three Alex's on stage to perform the song exactly like it was done on the album. Yes, you're the only one who is bothered. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket ignites Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I just listened to both studio and R30...I'm so NOT bothered with either... I feel like I'm being personally trolled with all the Earthshine threads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytserush Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Live.But then I always prefer my Rush live whenever possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaminbenb Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 One of the few tunes from that album I actually liked! I thought the live version was great, actually! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexMike Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 There really isn't what I'd call a solo anywhere on VT, which Is why I vastly prefer the live versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fridge Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 It is never played "live" at all....there are far too many samples both vocally and guitar wise for it to be considered thus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclonus X-1 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 It's hardly a solo, but I like that part on the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sun dog Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Not at all bothered but I am very much partial to the album version... from the moment I heard I thought it was achingly beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FountainOfSyrinx Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Thought that Alex's R30 solo was actually pretty neat. That's my favorite version of that song. More so than Rio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
