Maybe it’s just the order in which I was exposed to them, but A Show of Hands is one of those albums where I’ve come to prefer many of the live versions on there over the originals (see also Stop Making Sense). And I’m not normally big on live albums. When I listen to the originals, they just sound…overproduced, I guess.
On another note, the Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage documentary has been announced, from the folks who brought us Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey and Iron Maiden: Flight 666.
One night only, on June 10. Alas, no Vermont screening, yet.
Got that email as well, snagged the tracks and after a few listens first impressions are very positive. Really loving them (other than the title “BU2B”). Very excited for the rest of the album if these are any indication.
