Thanks for taking the time to put this together to share here. Rush is my favorite band & I have seen them 16 times on 14 different tours. Certain songs such as "Between The Wheels" are so much heavier live than the original studio version. Any time I have seen them play that song live I have the same reaction when the song ends, I internally say to myself "HOLY Sh*t that was freakin heavy"!! I am glad you included 2112 from the T4E tour. That was an amazing tour! That was the first tour where they stopped having an opening act and extended their set list & called it "An Evening With Rush" I remember when they started playing 2112 Overture during the first set. My friend & I looked at each other in amazement & I stated "They never play this early in the show like this" It has always been an encore since I have seen them. Once they went into "Discovery" we realized they were probably playing the entire first side of 2112 and they did!!!! It was the only tour where they played they entire side one of 2112 live in its entirety. We were blown away!!!! That was in 1996 and I had already seen many of their tours live as Signals in 1982 was my first Rush show when I was 16 years old. Every tour they played from 1996 on was almost a 3 hour show and some of the best Rush shows I have ever seen. Yes, Signals & the other tours during the 1980s & early 1990s were awesome but nothing can compete with a 3 hour Rush concert and them breaking out older, longer songs while playing most of their newer material as well. The Analog Kid from the "Counterparts" tour is another great gem. I saw that tour twice. They played "Cygnus X-1 Book II : Hemispheres" along with Xanadu on that tour which was incredible! Thanks again for sharing this!!
Thanks for the positive comments on this video and one of the others. I wish I could’ve ever gone to even one Rush show but at least we’ll always have these videos to hold onto. The test for echo version of 2112 being the only full version makes it that much cooler and such a great performance!
@ndotherstuff YW! I subscribed to your channel as well. The effort you put into the 4 Rush videos is worth a subscription in my book. Plus you use a Todd Rundgren song in another video you made(I have seen him live as well & he was awesome live) I do feel very blessed to have seen Rush as many times as I have over the years. My wife has seen them probably around 8 times with me and both of my kids have seen Rush 5 times and Rush was the first concert they ever saw when they were younger. I am 57 now and they are 30 & 27. I am a guitar player and play several songs by Rush. I recently bought an Overdrive Foot Pedal Alex Lifeson designed called the "Lerxst - By-Tor - Overdrive" He put out only 500 & I got #453 out of 500. When I actually made the purchase I think I had a few tears in my eyes as I never win contests or am able to buy rare items so I got very lucky to have had the cash and saw it was available before they sold out. It would be awesome if Alex & Geddy do something together again but if not we have an amazing catalog of music by them. They have been my favorite band since 1978 when I was 12 years old and I bought everything they released on the day it came out from that moment on. I actually bought 2112 & Fly By Night when I was around 10 or 11 but "A Farewell To Kings" & "Hemispheres" made them my favorite. I have also loved all the phases they went through & I am glad they changed things up and did not just keep putting out the same old album year after year the way some bands do. I remember when Signals came out I was in high school and most of the guys I knew who were Rush fans hated it and stopped listening to them after that. Most of those same guys have necks that are the color red and stopped buying new music after 1980. I wonder if they ever get bored with their stale and boring music collection hehehe. I love Grace Under Pressure, Power Windows, Presto, etc... I will say I was happy during the 1990s when the put out "Counterparts" & "Test 4 Echo" when they scaled back on the synthesizers and went back to being a harder prog rock band. I love all their releases, including their solo LPs & consider "Snakes & Arrows" & "Clockwork Angels" to be up there as some of the best work of their career. Most bands put out boring predictable junk after 20 or 30 years, but not Rush. Rush never got the memo that said older bands must suck, be boring and only rely on their former hits while they phone in their concerts. Rush never did any of that and went out on top. More bands should retire rather than doing 20 years of greatest hits tours while looking bored. Rush always gave 100%+ and were always into what they were doing. I really miss them touring but have a lot of awesome memories because of them & their music is the soundtrack of my life. Thanks again for taking the time to put these videos together. I appreciate it & it made my morning!
Rush's first night at the Molson Amphitheatre during the Test for Echo tour on June 30, 1997 was filmed for what would have been the band's first concert video released on the then-new DVD format of the Test for Echo somewhere around 1998, released as "Different Stages DVD", but it was cancelled.
Interesting fact, I had no idea that was the original purpose of that recording. I’m sure the tragedies in Neil’s life were the primary purpose for not releasing them
@@blakeandotherstuff Is because the Test for Echo tour DVD had to be cancelled due to problems of sync up the audio with the video. It would cost the band over $150,000 and many hours to sync up a new recording with the footage.
I like that you put an earlier version of the Analog Kid on here. Compare that with some of the later live performances they recorded and you'll see a band that grew tighter and tighter. They were almost a single entity when they called a day.
Thank you for sharing what RUSH means to you many of us have all encompassing inputs but when we can find those that share rush as an input we are brothers and sisters
