Since Rush is playing Moving Pictures in its entirety it got me thinking. Which other Rush record would you like to hear played live in its entirety?
For me, the answer is Signals. My favorite Rush CD at the moment, plus I dont think Rush has ever played Losing It live before. SO whats yours and why? |

I think the second most sensible choice for them to develop excitement in their fan base would be 2112 - simply because of the buzz it would create. For my own personal Rush concert, I might choose Presto, though I realize I and two other people are the only ones who really liked that album. Hemispheres would make a really good set, too. |

Plus, it's "only" four songs!
Of course, they would have to play "Cygnus X-1" as a pre-prelude. |

Geddy has been having a bit of trouble with the really high vocals in the past few years, so I doubt this will ever happen. I think this is the reason we don't hear a lot of Xanadu anymore.
I agree about your song choices. Some of my favorites as well.

After that I would say Permanent Waves. It is only six songs but they are all great! I would love to hear "Jacob's Ladder" and "Natural Science" live.

Lessons would be in a dream, Geddy couldn't sing that now unless you had a real Time Machine!
Something for Nothing would be great though. I really wish they would at least consider it before ultimately shooting it down.

And it wasn't even Geddy's Wal bass.

I also like Presto. |
