Rush has always been good about keeping things that didn't make the album away from the public. Sounds like Rush though. Manhattan Project sounds cool with the reggae vibe. This won't stay up long.

What I want to know is, where did he get this pure gold? Listen to Grand Designs, that synth tone is amazing! |

I did stumble on a Rush site that had live recordings of songs they played at concerts before they were released on an album. Like Tom Sawyer for example...some parts were different and it was cool to hear the evolution. That link is: http://www.musicintheabstract.org/
You will have to search around a bit but they are there. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: Pennsylvania | | | Thanks. It was cool, they had a link to an MP3 of the very first time they ever played Fly By Night live...pretty cool! And those isolated guitar tracks without any effects on them is pretty cool to hear too. They also have some isolated Geddy bass as well. Fun site. |
