Rush remasters- thumbs up.

Gileon,

Its been a long time since ive heard any of their
recorded live stuff. I was thinking there was a
drum solo during "Bytor the snow dog" on the
"all the world a stage" but it has been a long
time.. I will have to dig out Exit stage left and
check it out.. thanks.

Mouse..

I saw the Roll the Bones tour at the Shoreline in
Mountain view, CA. That was a really good one.
Neil always puts on a good show. Thats the last
time ive seen them live.

You guys have a good weekend...

Pmkalby,

I have A Farewell to Kings and Moving Pictures on Japanese vinyl, and NO you can't have them :P

I might have to try one of those CD re-masters.

Rush's Remastered "Moving Pictures" cd is mind blowing!!! Mercury did an incredible job on this re-release, the first few seconds of "YYZ", check to see if your tweeters are still connected, as they seem to be dancing happily above the speakers.

The inital cd was BAD, I remember the cassette tape sounding better! Brings back memories, 1990 w/ Rush playing in my Pioneer 6 cassette changer. Wow, the good ol'e days when I hated digital, gosh am I showing my age?

I've seen Rush live many times, being 42 helps *L* Saw them tour for Fly By Night, 2112 (opening act was Max Webster, ticket cost me $4), Farewell to Kings, All the World's A Stage, etc... Great band live. I lost interest in Rush after Hemispheres, they went off in a direction that wasn't to my liking. Unfortunately over the years I've worn out most of my Rush vinyl, all I have left is Farewell to Kings and Hemispheres. Think I'll head down to my local used vinyl emporium this week and stock up. Oh, my brother played in a golf tournament a few years back, he was paired with Alex Lifeson who is both an avid golfer and by all accounts a really nice guy.

The drum solo you're thinking of was on 'All the Worlds a Stage" but I can't remember what song it's in.
