This week is the 40th anniversary of the release of Permanent Waves so it's a song from that album. Right now it's looking like Jacob's Ladder has the lead with Entre Nous a darkhorse candidate I will choose Free Will. Edited January 16, 2020 by reddogblitz 1 Quote

That this song couldn't crack the US Top-100 while "The Spirit Of Radio" did was ironic as hell. It was a brilliant single. Quote

BillsFanNC Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) I've read most, if not all, of the NP tributes and obituaries being written over the past week since the news broke. The piece in the Buffalo News was among the best in my opinion, but the one I keep going back to as my favorite is about a random encounter the author had with Neil years ago at a diner in the mountains of West Virginia. https://www.inc.com/jeff-haden/neil-peart-was-an-exceptional-drummer-but-his-legacy-could-be-summed-up-in-4-words.html?cid=search Quote "Can I give you some advice?" he asked. "Sure," I said. "Never follow anyone," he said. "Be your own hero." Edited January 17, 2020 by BillsFanNC 1 Quote

Hold Your Fire is arguably their worst album, ever. And they didn't open with Spirit of Radio. Talk about a collective WTF moment! Admittedly, "Signals," was probably the last of their albums that I really liked; much bigger fan of their early work. The 2015 show was RIDICULOUSLY AWESOME. Incredible set list and a huge treat in Jacob's Ladder, which was not a common live tune for them. Quote

Me too. I also preferred them back when Geddy’s vocals would really wail, but (like Plant) I don’t think there’s any way he could’ve kept it up. 1 Quote

BillsFanNC Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 I've been listening to a lot of Rush bootlegs over the past few days that I've accumulated over the years on CD, many of them like this one that I've never listened to before. It's an interesting show from 1980 where they play early versions of Limelight and Tom Sawyer.....there are many classic Rush bootlegs available on YouTube if you don't mind a lossy version. For both songs the arrangements aren't down yet to what we all know from the studio versions, for Limelight the classic guitar solo in that song is nothing like what is heard here, and many of the lyrics for Tom Sawyer are different. It's cued up for Limelight, then you can jump ahead to 55:33 to hear the early version of Tom Sawyer. Or you can just listen to the whole show, it's a pretty darn good recording for the time. 2 Quote

Ralonzo Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) Is it bad to talk cover bands at this point? I mean, someone needs to carry the Rush banner. I kinda liked Blame Canada; the drummer Vince Tricarico and guitar player Andy Rabin merged into Sun Dogs with Mark Schenker, formerly of the band Kix, to form a true 3 piece playing Rush music... they are musically pretty strong IMO. Catch em if they come to your Subdivision Edited January 24, 2020 by Ralonzo Quote

Catch em if they come to your Subdivision This band was just brought to my attention - YYNOT. They also do some Rush-inspired originals. To me the singer sounds like Hayley Williams from Paramore. Got a show in Buffalo at Ironworks March 27th. 1 Quote
