New Rush Album - Snakes and Arrows *

Speaking of Rush; have they ever performed, "Times Stands Still" in concert? That is one of my favorite songs by them. I know it's not on the "Rush In Rio" or "R30" DVD sets.

 

Yes they have.

 

Not counting the covers EP, new Rush music has been a long time coming!

Dave

 

Greg,
It is on A Show of Hands CD live. Not sure about video.

Rob

 

Ha! 'Guess I haven't listened to that one in awhile! I have it, too! HA!! Thanks Rob! That is a 'live' concert, afterall! Track 13! I'll be damned!

 

I was wondering if they ever played the song LOSING IT live?
I think they did on a tour with the band FM...i remember the FM guy was playing a glow in the dark "fiddle"
But i cant remember

 

Doubt it, but I'll check my Rush book, which is at work for some reason.

 

Also; anyone know who the female background vocalists were on "Time Stand Still"? I always wondered that.

 

Aimee Mann

 

No show from the Signals tour I've heard has it and no setlist I've seen had it. They have done "Chemistry".

 

Ben Mink was on violin. Rush were great to take bands such as Max Webster and FM, fellow Canadian bands, on tour with them. Nothing bad with gaining exposure.

 

Wow! Just her? 'Thought there was more than one backup. Nice! 'Love that song!

 

As JuhaS posted, Aimee Mann. Geddy had a sample of her backing voc's so they were able to play that song live, if I read correctly.

If you're familiar with Pearts books, "workin' them angels" will ring a bell

 

Getting excited!

Longer clip of "Far Cry" here: http://www.rushisaband.com/

 

I haven't been this excited about a rock album in a long time. Keep the info coming guys!

 

Will this album be released on vinyl?

 

I would think yes since every studio Rush effort has (including VT and Feedback). When? Don't know. Even I would consider buying it if Steve did it - and I don't buy vinyl.

The full single for "Far Cry" is being released to radio on Monday.

There hasn't been this much hype for a Rush release since ... well ... I can't remember when.

 

And as per usual Rush tradition it was recorded and mixed entirely digitally right? If it is an aural disaster like their previous album, I think you better count me out.

 

Well, given the short clip currently on Rush.com and the longer clip I link above, it clearly sounds much better than VT - which is NOT hard to do.
