If it isn't Krautrock, it's krap.

Wish I'd seen that tour. I'll bet they pissed off a lot of people with that set though.
The only songs before Moving Pictures that were played on that tour were The Spirit Of Radio, Freewill, The Trees, Closer To The Heart, and the medley of Overture/The Temples Of Syrinx/Xanadu/La Villa Strangiato/In The Mood.

There is unrest in the forrest, and we've been smoking Lebanon.
I play the 21st Century studio discs quite often. The live material is a bit more of a problem because of Geddy's voice on the older material.

I remember running out to the record store to buy HYF as well as Pink Floyd's "Momentary Lapse..." the day they BOTH were released (I'm sure someone has already pointed this out somewhere in the thread?), Wed. Sept. 8, 1987. I remember carrying an armload of vinyl and cassettes to the counter - I was the designated "buyer" for three other friends - and the bemused look the clerk gave me.
Listened to those albums a ton that fall, as well as Yes' "Big Generator", which came out Nov. 7 (yeah, it's weird the things I remember) Aside from the fact that I strongly associate them all with a very good time in my life (HS senior year), none has held up especially well from a purely musical standpoint. I do still like them all to some degree, but as far as '80s Rush goes, I'm much more likely to reach for any of the albums that preceded HYF.
^The only one of those three I play much if at all at this point is A Momentary Lapse Of Reason.
For me,
Hold Your Fire > (Momentary Lapse of Reason = BG)
I agree that Hold Your Fire > Momentary Lapse of Reason. I like MLOR, but I kind of have to will myself to like it. Actually, if I think of it as a solo Gilmour album I like it. But I prefer HYF.
BG I was never able to listen to all the way through, but one of these days I should.
Does this mean that the Division Bell is the equivalent of Clockwork Motherfucking Angels?
