Rush ~ Dreamline ~ R30 Tour ~ [HD 1080p] ~ September 24, 2004 at the Festhalle Frankfurt, Germany

Recorded live on September 24, 2004 at the Festhalle Frankfurt, Germany from Rush's R30: 30th Anniversary Tour. This is from the Blu-ray version of R30, containing the complete concert, which was released on December 8, 2009 in the US, and in late 2013 in Europe. "Dreamline" is the first song from the band's fourteenth studio album "Roll the Bones." It was recorded at Le Studio in Morin-Heights, Quebec and McClear Place in Toronto, between February and May 1991. It was released on September 3, 1991. The album displays a change in the group's sound which had started on Presto, with a reduction in keyboards and a return to guitar-driven songs. Lee said the change was "a backlash against the more computer-style of writing" which had dominated their sound through the 1980s, and instead used synthesizers and sequencers as an "orchestration device" rather than a key component in the songwriting. Another aspect that carried over from Presto was Lee's intention to come up with strong vocal melodies at the beginning and base the rest of the tune around it. Lifeson had wanted to try playing funk rhythms and having attempted it on Presto, wished to explore it further on Roll the Bones. The album contains a running lyrical theme concerning the element of chance in different aspects of life, which Peart had devised while experimenting with lyrics. The first lyric that he wrote for the album was used on "Face Up," specifically: "Turn it up – or turn that wild card down." He recalled sitting on his cottage floor "with a pile of papers around me" of notes from the previous two years, mostly consisting of phrases written on tour or during "that dreamlike moment before sleep." He started to experiment with the phrases "turn it up" and "turn it down" which led to the idea of turning a card down and a wild card, and applied them to events that a person may face. The opening verse of "Dreamline" has references to astronomy, which Peart was inspired by after cycling several hundred miles from Cincinnati to Columbus, Ohio between two gigs on the Presto tour. Upon arrival he watched the popular science series Nova on the Public Broadcasting Service and a program on satellite imaging which captured his imagination: "The opening verse of 'Dreamline' which has an interesting history. During the last tour between Cincinnati and Columbus we had a day off so I bicycled up that trip and got there after a hundred miles, all tired and sweaty and sat down and ate dinner and watched Nova. And there was a program on satellite imaging and they were literally making a road map of Jupiter and they were talking about rivers that they'd been able to map under the Sahara, which used to be a tropical rain forest. So just the imagery of that captured me; I guess it has to do with astronomy but dealing with space for me is the final frontier! But it is just fascination you know. When you lay on the ground and look up at the night sky you can't help but be carried away; 'Mystic Rhythms' is another song too that addressed that particular feeling of smallness but at the same time, spiritual greatness, that you're a part of all that wonderfulness." What brought up the now famous line "we're only immortal for a limited time"? "I just started thinking about that quality of life that most people go through when they are young, and for some people it lasts even longer, but they are suspended in this invulnerability. You know, nothing can hurt them. Something bad might happen to other people but never to them. Other people might face tragedies but their lives are going to be singularly blessed no matter what they do or how much effort or how little effort they exert their lives are for them. But other people are doomed to disappointment on that belief." Per Geddy: " It's kind of a universal feeling that you have when you're a certain age where you believe that you can do so much and you're kind of invulnerable. That you can, you know, get along on no sleep, you can drive as fast as you want, and you'll be fine, you know, you can get away with murder. And there comes a certain point in your life where you realize that you are vulnerable." “Each of us experiences a time when we feel immortal, when time is not passing and we’re never going to die. But it’s a limited-time offer. Time does pass, and soon enough the realities of life comes crowding in on us, whether were ready for them or not, and we have to get serious. This is called “facing the real world.” (Row the Boats) - Neil in "Merely Players" “I love the spirit of ‘Dreamline’ and the way Neil captures that feeling of wanderlust and invulnerability that comes in a particular trying time in your life.” - Geddy in Heeb My favorite part of the song is Alex's guitar solo. It reminds me of his solo in "Limelight", as it soars and glides along with long note bends and extensive use of the whammy bar. It fits the song perfectly. All possibilities open up before us in this wry look at young adulthood.
