I’m probably the only fan with a ticket to see this tour who’s disappointed that The Clairvoyant got scratched for Infinite Dreams. I really wanted to see The Clairvoyant live.

This ^^^ My wife and I are on opposite ends of the political spectrum but we love each other and respect each other's values. I'm one of 8 cousins that have a group text chat and we just don't talk about politics because we all love each other and know exactly how quickly those conversations get...

I don't actually dislike Alchemist, but I usually skip everything up to that and start playing the disc at Isle of Avalon. I've got my En Vivo disc to cover earlier songs like the title track and El Dorado.

My favorite Rush album cover.

I posted it a while back in this thread but unfortunately no songs from Power Windows were on their 44 song practice list . Which fucking sucks. But having said that, it’s tough to whing about the set lists so far.

I was born in 1971, my older brother got me into Rush in 1979, and they were essentially the soundtrack to my life until around 2000. It was slightly weird when they started being viewed as cool in the early 2000s and devastating when they broke up followed by Neil Peart’s tragic passing. But...

To the original poster, with all due respect, I'll say that the reason why X Factor is my 3rd least favorite IM album (after No Prayer and Fear of the Dark) is because it's just too freaking depressing. Seriously, it bums me out. And the further you go, the darker it gets. And my favorite song...

I like every song on BNW, but I don’t think any of them are great. Ghost of the Navigator is closest for me. But DOD has Rainmaker, the title track and Montsegur all of which I consider great.

It's possible I could be wrong but I don't remember any Power Windows songs when they released their practice lineup months back. That struck me as a brutal oversight. EDIT: Yep, here it is: https://forum.maidenfans.com/threads/rush.24655/page-29#post-1116531

I've had this DiAnno era one in heavy rotation for the last few months. I love the speed, energy and agression. And the 2nd half of Final Frontier as well for the last year or two.

Literally my all time favorite album by any band. The only problem is these ESL live versions kind of ruin the studio version of some songs for me. By which I specifically mean Trees / Xanadu, Jacob’s Ladder and La Villa Strangiato.

I wouldn't expect Fly By Night. Geddy is on the record (pun partially intended) as saying he doesn't like that song. This Rock Band’s 1976 Single Was Their First To Chart in the US—and the Lead Singer Hates It Rush hasn’t performed “Fly by Night” since 1978. Lifeson wanted to reincorporate the...

My choices would be Judgement of Heaven, educated Fool or Lightning Strikes Twice. Probably in that order but it changes over time.

This song list kicks arse I would love to see this. Especially all 4 songs in bold font but also DoD and Rainmaker? Brilliant.

So I finally got to watch this and I love what I saw. First off, New Kid was brilliant. Not only was she spot on with all the right notes, but she also mastered the texture of when to tap and when to smash. Also Geddy’s vocals sounded much better now than on most post-2000 tours. He’d fallen...
