musicpro Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 A couple of photos that I found in the loft the other week! Taken on the Permanent Waves tour on the 10th June 1980. I should point out that these are shots that I discarded at the time as not being good enough and that the "proper" photos are still kicking about somewhere up in the loft. On a further "technical" note, these were taken in the days when you had to smuggle cameras into gigs and I hid the camera inside one cowboy boot and the lens inside the other - all concealed by the flared jeans. Halcyon days! The rest of these photos are here:- http://tinyurl.com/ye2h98o http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww189/musicprouk/Forums/R82_0001.jpg RUSH - Glasgow Apollo - 1980 http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww189/musicprouk/Forums/R82_0002.jpg RUSH - Glasgow Apollo - 1980 http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww189/musicprouk/Forums/R82_0003.jpg RUSH - Glasgow Apollo - 1980 Set List for this show was:- 1 2112 2 Freewill 3 By-Tor And The Snowdog 4 Xanadu 5 The Spirit Of Radio 6 Natural Science 7 A Passage To Bangkok 8 The Trees 9 Cygnus X-1 10 Hemispheres 11 Closer To The Heart 12 Beneath Between And Behind 13 Jacobs Ladder 14 Working Man 15 Finding My Way 16 Anthem 17 Bastille Day 18 In The Mood 19 La Villa Strangiato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only Rush would play more of the classics so sadly missed on the S&A tour? At the very least Xanadu and 2112? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And couldnt agree more about getting the 2112 and ByTor-Xanadu versions they played on this tour- If we get em, this upcoming tour is the time!

Though by some of the anti-trib comments on the various Rush forums you wouldn't have thought it Ian? You're not kidding there Billy! Not sure why Rush tribs (and this seems to be a worldwide phenomena) have such a hard time getting Rush fans to support them when other tributes... AC/DC, Floyd, Sabbath, Iron Maiden etc etc all seem to have their respective fellow fans pouring out the woodwork in their masses. More puzzling given that guys in a Rush tribute by default really do have to put an immense amount of effort into it all and also that Rush fans are probably the most dedicated fans in rock! Quite a paradox in fairness.... Rush tribs should be amongst the best supported bands out there in fairness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
