He did normally play the Ric live tho. Its an amazing Vid clip with people spotting little bits and pieces the more they watch it.

Bilbo Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I am always shocked at the low production values on Rush videos. The stuff that they played on those screens at gigs were always a bit iffy. IMO, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Garden on the Clockwork Angels tour was spot on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 The early visuals were terrible. The latter-day stuff was pretty good I thought - very stylised and quirky. That said, I’d have preferred less video at the gigs. And one video (The Larger Bowl?) was laughably literal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassfinger Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 (edited) Was listening to Temples of Syrinx this afternoon. Peart's drumming is just at its peak, rising and falling in perfect tempo like a high performance V8 being revved along with the lyrics. Just brilliant.

hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Just in case there is anyone else who may be interested, the 40th Anniversary boxed set of Permanent Waves has been released. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PW is my favourite Rush album so I'm considering it. Not really fanboy enough, though - there's no new/unreleased material here & I don't know if it's worth it just for the live stuff, of which there's already a fair amount from that era around. I probably wasn't alone in hoping that someone might have unearthed some long-lost demos for Sir Gawain & The Green Knight, the aborted concept piece that much of Permanent Waves originated from! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they were my thoughts too, however, I have the other three boxes, so I figured I may as well get this one too. They are very well put together and I’m looking forward to listening to the vinyl when I get my new turntable. I’m not sure if PW waves is my absolute fave, but it’s right up there.

I always try to sit near the sound desk at any major gig. If anywhere is gonna have the best overall sound its the sound desk. Dave The SECC was indeed dreadful but I don't think it was as bad as Ingleston. I saw Rush there back in the 80's and the sound was mince. Funnily enough, I have heard people slate the Hydro but in my opinion the sound is pretty good in there. The last time I saw Rush was in the SECC and the sound was pretty good, which reiterates your point about it being hit and miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed Rush at Ingleston but saw Boston there and the sound was woeful. Oddly enough the support band sounded better but the volume was lower. So maybe with the higher volumes you got more boom around the hall. Not been to the Hydro yet but maybe some day. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez, 40 years since Permanent Waves, feels like yesterday. The first time I heard Spirit of Radio was one of those definitive moments that stays with you. But wow, 40 years has gone by quick! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went down to the Friday Market and bought it at lunchtime (or dinner time as it was called then) and brought it back. I'd never heard them but pretended to everyone that I knew them because I had read about them in Sounds and Kerrang. When I went home and stuck it on, at first I thought what the hell is this? As soon as it kicked in that was me hooked! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 There was an item in Sounds or NME about the hot new bands in 76 to look out for. Police, Blondie, Rush were the only 3 i can remember from the list. The Rush album and description looked so different from the others altho the same ad got me listening to the Police. Bought mine in Glasgow somewhere. Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Veering slightly off topic I know, but a nice little video narrated by Hugh Syme regarding the creation of the art for Permanent Waves. Love the bit about the storm photographer strapping himself to street furniture. Bonkers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm feeling distinctly diminished and miserable now. (Thanks Obama!) Edited January 8, 2021 by Daz39 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
