maplelevy Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I apologize if this topic has been posted previously - I am relatively new to this forum. Even if it has, maybe it's worth revisiting. Rush has so many amazing live recordings and I find that I cannot get a good workout in without scanning YouTube for a great mix. I am sure there are many great choices, but there is one song that I actually can't listen to the recorded version, because the live version (on a couple of different occasions) is (IMHO) so far superior. And my winner is - from Grace Under Pressure, "Between the Wheels." From the slower tempo, heavier sound to Alex's solo, to the energy of the threesome during the performance(s), it's become one of my favorite songs overall. But I am curious to hear what the experts say and can't wait to check out these choices! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytserush Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Anything Vapor Trails live is better than the album. For me ANYTHING live is better than anything on a studio album. Many times it isn't even close. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Anything Vapor Trails live is better than the album. For me ANYTHING live is better than anything on a studio album. Many times it isn't even close. I would say with Rush that's true if you're in the audience. Otherwise most bootlegs really don't capture the feeling of being there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's absolutely true, but live albums/bootlegs still blow away anything on the studio albums. (At least in my case they do.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
