hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Apologies if I've remembered this incorrectly, but I think this was around the time of the Vapour Trails Tour.... I was an avid reader of the Rush website after it's launch and I found, in the murky corners of the site, a list of songs that formed Neil's House Music i.e. the tunes that were played over the PA whilst the house filled on that tour. I've put the songs in a playlist and I hope the link works for you all....https://music.apple.com/gb/playlist/neils-house-music/pl.u-Zmbl32GS0ZDPM0 It's a fine collection of tunes IMHO. NOTE: The two String Ensemble tunes (2112 Overture & The Temples of Syrinx) don't appear to be available on iTunes for some reason. I guess you probably know what they sound like though! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franticsmurf Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 That's quite a playlist. I'm familiar with about half the songs so I'll be getting hold of the other half and making a playlist of my own. I grew up listening to Yesshows, which opens with the closing bars of 'Firebird Suite' so when I first saw Yes live and those bars were played just before the band came on, the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorturedSaints Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) I have a CD of Rush songs played by the Vitamin String Quartet. Might this be the one you’re looking for? Do you have Neil’s House Music lists for the later tours? I’m sure he did a different playlist for each tour. I would be interested in seeing those as well.

Not sure about the Vitamin String Quartet. The String Ensemble come up as an artist on iTunes, but not the songs. I don't recall seeing any other Neil's House Music lists on the site. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
