And I can respect that. I would rather them perform something Geddy can still sing that would probably also work better in a live environment anyway.

I think it's a tricky song to play live and I wish they gave it a shot.

They've done tricky live before. Double Agent being one of them.

But I guess it wasn't to be.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #1857 on:** October 29, 2016, 04:59:53 PM »

Double Agent is not as tricky as Avaliable Light.

KevShmev · « **Reply #1858 on:** October 29, 2016, 05:08:26 PM »

I wouldn't categorize Double Agent as tricky at all, really. The only tough part live would have been the spoken word part, and I say "would have" because Geddy didn't even attempt to do it live (it was triggered).

You guys are right.

I forgot that "so tight," "at war" "was right" on Double Agent wasn't done live with the same enthusiasm. ( A lot of my live listening is usually from the Test For Echo Tour forward.)

Not sure if I'd be comfortable with triggering that on Available Light. I'm pretty sure he could have pulled that off in the past, but I'm not too confident about it now.

So are they showing this in a DVD release or this is just primarily in theaters, one night only?

GUYS...GUYS... A LIVE VERSION OF 'THE TWILIGHT ZONE" TO BE OFFICIALLY RELEASED.

This is huge, at least to me, as a fan of having complete live versions of their tours. Guess I'll have to break out my old Complete Tours .wav files and re-mix a new version of the "All The World's A Stage Tour 1977".

Also, new recordings of covers of the album, featuring a TON of guests!!!

Quote

CD – DISC 2

SOLAR FEDERATION
OVERTURE – Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins and Nick Raskulinecz
A PASSAGE TO BANGKOK – Billy Talent
THE TWILIGHT ZONE – Steven Wilson
TEARS – Alice In Chains
SOMETHING FOR NOTHING – Jacob Moon
“2112” – Live at Massey Hall 1976 Outtake
SOMETHING FOR NOTHING – Live at Massey Hall 1976 Outtake
THE TWILIGHT ZONE – Live 1977 Contraband
2112 1976 RADIO AD

OH MAN... I wasn't looking forward to buying my Nth copy of 2112, but this might be worth it.

EDIT - So, looking back at the PowerWindows website, it looks like they only list 2 known live performances of "The Twilight Zone", which seems to match up with Rush's website's blurb, but one was on New Year's Eve of 1976, and the other on April 17, 1977 at the.W. Lisner Auditorium in Washington, DC, a show that seems to be heavily bootlegged over the years, so it'll be nice to have a (hopefully) good sounding of this song. I'd love to get the WHOLE show though...

Bastille Day
Anthem
Lakeside Park
2112 (with abbreviated Discovery, minus Oracle)
Twilight Zone
Something For Nothing
By-Tor And The Snow Dog
The Necromancer (Under the Shadow/Return of the Prince)
In The End
Working Man / Finding My Way / Drum Solo
Fly By Night
In The Mood
What You're Doing
Best I Can

However, considering we've got soundboards of pretty much everything else on this show (except "The Necromancer"), I think I'll be happy with "The Twilight Zone".

-Marc.

I'll get this (just the 2CD/DVD) at some point. I'd love the have the reissue 45 (Although I have the original) but not for what I would have to spend to get it.

The artifacts would be nice too although I'm not sure why it seems like Syme went back to his ReplayX3 era art for this one. I don't know why you need revisionist art but I said that the last time this was reissued too.

I already have that shows that The Twilight Zone came from. I would hope that this is from some kind of official master as the bootleg doesn't sound all that great as an official release. The New Year's Eve show I have sounds even worse!

I'd have to believe they recorded the New Year's Eve show in their hometown rather than a random date in DC in April 1977.

It's also good that they are adding the Capitol theater show to this (Although it's already on the R40 box and widely bootlegged before that.) because that;s the best place for that show to be. (As part of a 2112 package.)

The doc had its moments, but I thought it was kind of uneven. It had a clip show kind of feel to it.

XB0BX · « **Reply #1873 on:** November 06, 2016, 10:18:00 AM »

I felt like the doc was a good end to the band's career, especially with The Garden in the credits. Many teary eyes in the theater. Very sad.

ytserush · « **Reply #1874 on:** November 14, 2016, 04:35:25 PM »

Encore performance of the doc Thursday, Nov. 17. Once on the big screen was enough for me but those who missed the last one might want to catch it before the DVD comes out.

I saw Time Stand Still in a theater last night. Really enjoyable and really emotional as well! Mrs. TOX got me tickets as a Birthday present.

While I would selfishly love for them to play live again, after watching the documentary, I understand even more just how physically taxing it is for them, especially Neal. I wouldn't want to play the freaking drums at 65 or however old he is. Also, mad props for playing with foot fungus. That's gross.

KevShmev · « **Reply #1877 on:** November 20, 2016, 03:14:07 PM »

I thought the documentary was good - very emotional near the end - but the emphasis on certain fans was a bit too much. And several of those fans branding all Rush fans as socially awkward nerds living in their parents basement was pretty stupid. I always thought that was an unfair stereotype, and there you had several fans lucky enough to be featured on one of their documentaries spouting it like it was gospel.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #1878 on:** November 20, 2016, 03:34:59 PM »

Well Kev, I'd say that is more the reality than the cool high school kids. All? No. But more the majority.

Btw, I lived in my parents basement.

But I movedon't down to the basement to have my own bedroom to mack daddy with my girls. Little brothers suck.

The bonus stuff from the Presto tour is pretty sweet, even with some of those Presto songs.

Old live footage when Geddy's voice sounded really good is always nice. And sadly, it highlights how good he didn't sound the last few tours.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #1882 on:** November 20, 2016, 04:23:19 PM »

I was thinking that about his voice as well. I loved the bunnies on that tour.

True that.

I was hoping for more of super fan Ray and the road crew myself.

I have the whole video from that Presto show and have watched it a little less than once a year since the summer of 1990 so I've long spoiled any chance to be impressed by that. But it's nice to have part of it commercially released anyway.

I loved the Prest tour footage. That was the first tour I ever seen Rush, I was floored! I couldn't believe the blu-ray didn't include "Time Stand Still" on the bonus footage, considering the title of this release..lol!

That was interesting to see that Alex played the keyboard part in the middle of Superconductor live. That makes three keyboard parts I've seen him do live (The Garden and Time Stand Still being the others).
