IIRC, La Villa Strangiato was so difficult to play, they had to record it with multiple takes.

There is a great Netflix show about Rush. Neil has several interviews. They made incredible music for a trio - definitely had their own style.

“IIRC, La Villa Strangiato was so difficult to play, they had to record it with multiple takes.”

I remember seeing an interview with Alex Lifeson in regard to “La Villa Strangiato” in which he said, “What’s on the record is a single take. But it took us over forty takes to get it right!” They spent more time on that one song than they did on the entire Fly By Night album.
