[BrianBegleyDublin]

[toolvool]

man Lerxst was smokin fast

[rikk2112]

OMG this sounds raw. Love it!!! It's like Rush from 1976 playing Rush from 1982.

[vkiperman]

Lots of tempo changes. I like it!

[AcmeStargazer]

ONE guy seems to lack the knowledge of what true music is!

Also this sounds awsome. Do i prefer the finished "Moving Pictures" version? Yes, BUT this is still amazing, to be honest I wouldn't care if RUSH played the Mcd's theme, it woudn't matter, i'd still love it because it's RUSH!!!! :D

@UkeTube It is sped up because the original tape(or record) is being played about 3% too fast. I fixed it! See the video response. Thanks for the upload BrianBegleyDublin

[JM13121]

Thanks for the upload! A very different version!

[CarMan792]

Is amazing Peart can play it this fast. But why am I surprised, he's Neil Peart.

It is transposed up from the Studio Version.

Synths are EPIC.

[Indybowhntr]

WOW....glad that version didn't make the final cut. Different lyrics at the end. But thanks for posting!!

[Hwarming]

I kind of like this version better, the synths sound really cool.

[Vrothgarr]

What are the lyrics to that different verse? Can't quite make them out.

[rafro007]

Wow! This is awesome!! I love what they did with the panning on the synths and some of the swells seem to come from front to back -- I don't know if someone did this post or during the show , but I've never heard the synths swirl around like that before. The time thing is just Rush -- they always had a tendency to speed up & slow down until mid 80's, especially starting off -- listen to Exit with the start of YYZ and you see how much it drags until bass & guitar come in. Ten clicks or so.
