Surfing Rush tubes in search of some great Peart moments after all the hating that's been going on. This is just amazing. So powerful and fluid. I think this might be Neil at his peak.

Yeah, the footage is crystal clear..

Ahhh yes, life before digital video. I actually kind of dig how the laser is coming right at the camera.

 

The point of this posting was to show Neil in a different light. All the negativity was getting me down.

 

I feel like this message board needs a serious dose of Effexor. (That's an anti-depressant)

Legendary stuff. I so love Neil with double-kick bass config. Ludwig era. 21 years back, Toronto, their home.

Great stuff! Xanadu is one of my favourites!

Same here; I just got into it after realizing that my initial reaction to "Natural Science" was 100% right (cool first half, completely unnecessary second half, nice ending) and going back to "Xanadu" to see if it would be a fitting replacement as a favorite. I don't know why, but I always thought of it as just another "Jacob's Ladder" - thank God that I saw how wrong I was!

This board is mild compared to some. You should see the ripping Queensryche gets on a certain board. You would think Geoff Tate(singer) insulted all the posters mothers or something. I had to leave it was so depressing to read.

That is because everyone knows [except Tate himself] that he shit on their legacy and they are a completely different band now . Rush fans are just picky biggrin.gif

Hey look everyone.

 

Just so you don't think it's recent, looks like they were complaining about "all the negativity" five years ago here too. :LOL:

I keep telling you infidels this all the time! ;)

 

The "all the negativity" and "TRF isn't the same" lines have been said intermittently since '08! :LOL:

I'm glad the video ended before the transition. Xanaconductor...one of the few dark moments in Rush concert history...

Whatever were they thinking?

 

God only knows. I think they did as a joke. A cruel joke on us. LOL.
