TJ...I am very envious

 

As well....my most fav band of all time. The lyrics have thought put into them and tell a story. The music is very technical, complex, and well thought out (at least in my estimations anyway). I have seen them a number of times myself, though not as of late.

 

As for fav songs, I could list far too many here, but if I were to pick three, would be La Villa Strangiato, YYZ.....was amazed when I learned Morse code and figured out that the first part of the song was based on the morse code for the airport code for Toronto, and then Jacob's Ladder...Does anyone know how many times Neil changes the timing on the fly in that song?

Ill give that air guitar champion a run for his money if they want to do it to a rush song. Or even air drums for that matter

 

The talents of these guys never cease to amaze me......

 

Thanks very much for posting the pics TJ!!!!!!

Ya TJ I am also a huge fan of Rush last time I saw them was in the early 80's the Signals album tour.

 

My favorite album is 2112.

 

Great pics man

Great pictures. It must have been quite an experience for Jaden.

 

I was in high school reading JRR Tolkein's The Hobbit when I got into Rush's Cares of Steel and it was interesting to see the references in the lyrics to the story of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

 

Saw Rush several times including in the early '90s when another great Canadian band, The Tragically Hip opened for them.

Took my 15 year old son to see them in Toronto last week. They are one of his favourite bands. even with all the new stuff he listens too. He is also a big April Wine fan and he will be seeing them for the 3rd time in November at the Grey Cup Classic. Canadian Rock Rules!!
