That pretty much describes my Rush tastes as well, although I'm not all that fond of the self-titled album. It was, after all, pre-Neil.
My problem with Vapour Trails was that it was well-nigh unlistenable -- the recording levels were pumped up so high there is no 'headroom' in the signal.
I've seen them on every tour since Signals, and twice on the Counterparts tour (the infamous TNMS meet-up at the Pensacola show, first show on that tour). Always great shows, of course!
Vapor Trails is completely unlistenable... I never bothered to figure out why, but now that you mention it, there it is... it has no sonic depth...
The Counterparts Tour was one of the best and I've been going to see them since the old days too.... Then sound was perfect on that tour (at least at the arena I was in) and when that 2001 overture starts playing and that nut and bolt started flying though space until that climatic screwing! haha! Awesome!! A visual I'll never forget....The other live video that was cool was the kid flying on the missle during Distant Early Warning (Grace Under Pressure tour)
