CoS/2112/ATWAS:
- The Necromancer was also performed on the CoS Tour in full and there is a newspaper article claiming it was played in its entirety on a one-off show in Portland, Oregon early in the 2112 Tour. It was later revived during the ATWAS Tour, but they dropped parts 1 and half of...
I'm listening to this show again and I can definitely hear the pitch is off, but the speed sounds almost correct. It's weird because usually I find it's the speed of the tape being off. I might try to correct this at some point. It doesn't seem to be a very difficult fix.
I haven't heard any news since the last update from By-Tor. It's a bit disappointing that's it's taken so long for them to redo the transfer. I really hope they upload it soon.
Distant Early Warning was back on R40 (maybe Vapor Trails too, I forget though), Between The Wheels was revived for R30, Snakes & Arrows, and R40, The Body Electric was played at a few rare shows on the Clockwork Angels Tour, and Red Sector A was played on at least Vapor Trails, R30, and...
I feel that Rush dumped a lot of good songs over the years and it just breaks my heart that some never got played again. Best example I can see aside from CoS is stuff from Signals through Hold Your Fire. Chemistry and Countdown were excellent songs that were not even played at every show...
Signals suffers really badly from mediocre bootlegs and a severe lack of recordings, much unlike the following Grace Under Pressure Tour where we have many recordings, with a good chunk of them being excellent. I've really only listened to a few Signals shows: mainly the Montreal stuff (because...
By-Tor checked all of those UK dates (and all European dates) from the MP/ESL tours and couldn't find a single one that matched the audio from this show.
This is one of the most bizarre and confusing recordings I've ever listened to before. I have all the reason in the world to believe that this is, indeed, a fake/modified recording, but I don't really think there is any way to tell without a new recording showing up or more information coming...
Where there is AI-generated content, there are AI-powered tools to detect the content. Biggest example I can think of is AI-assisted cheats for video games that are impossible to detect through classic means, but there have been AI tools developed that can detect these cheats successfully...
I think your new ranking reflects my thoughts now too. I still hold Between The Wheels and Afterimage in high regards, but songs like Distant Early Warning and Kid Gloves have dropped on my personal list. Lyrically, Red Lenses is very weak, but the instrumental is incredible, and that cannot...
Amazing! I wish I had been to all those tours. I only got to see Time Machine and Clockwork Angels before they stopped touring. Thank you for sharing all of this!
I love that Milwaukee show too! Probably the best audience recording of that tour, and certainly one of the best Rush boots I've ever heard. I think it shines even among soundboards. We're hoping at some point to create a better "recommended" version of that recording using the more recently...
This tape will have to be repaired at some point. Spending some time listening to it reveals a bunch of speed-ups and slow-downs. Not to mention a bunch of tape flutter. I would love to hear a properly mastered/mixed version of this recording. It already sounds really unique, given how it...
This is BU2B, not BU2B(2). BU2B(2) was a very short interlude on Clockwork Angels that never got brought out live whereas BU2B was played during all dates on the Time Machine Tour.
