Love that song, can we hear it live ever again. What about Before and After has that ever been played live?
No documented evidence has surfaced yet to suggest that Before And After has been played, but that doesn't mean that was never played. (one of my favorites on that album too and the first evidence of their progressive leanings). If I'm not mistaken, the A Farewell To Kings Tour featured the final appearence of Lakeside Park in the set.

Check out this band, David Barrett Trio that was produced by Alex Lifeson and recorded in his studio!! It's unreal!!
I've been waiting for this to be released myself. I eat this stuff up!
I'd be among those who'd pay for all of Test For Echo, Vapor Trails and Snakes and Arrows to be played live in their entirety.
I don't consider Test For Echo to be as lyrically weak as some suggest. Obviously Neil dates himself by trying to tackle a technological advancement that was about to explode big time in Virtuality and Test For Echo isn't all that hot either lyrically either (I suppose I'd lump Carve Away The Stone in there too), but I'd argue the rest of it is on par or better than the Peart Standard. I also think that Limo is the weakest instrumental they've ever done. I remember thinking that Rush could have been listening to Dream Theater when they wrote it. It just sounded very Dream Theateresque to me at the time.
I do recall that there were some fans on alt.music.rush that were loud and repeatedly vocal in criticizing it, but I was not one of those people.
