Wrong day to ditch class...

 

:laughing guy:

ETA: Is Geddy wearing a table cloth?

Never saw Before and After performed live. Thanks for that.

 

Oh, YES that IS a table cloth. Wearing a table cloth or a set of kitchen drapes was fashionable in Toronto in the early to mid 70s. Geddy was more hip to fashion then compared to these days in which he usually conservatively dresses in jeans and a T.

Before And After is a great song... Rutsey is a good, solid drummer - excellent for what the band was doing here .. He's got my respect for being a part of this great era

Now I know

Not RUSH, but here's a great late 70's fashion show from the Toronto show BOOGIE.

Are you kidding me ??

 

That show is awesome .... Sherry is beyond words

 

WE NEED TO LOCATE SHERRY

 

I'm pretty sure I now know who Rockin' Mel Slirrup is based on.

Could someone explain Ronny Legg ??

 

Was he a musician, or a protégé of Siegfried and Roy ??

 

A serious note:

 

This was John Rutsey's final show ever as a member of RUSH

 

And quite possibly the last photo taken of him with the band

 

July 25, 1974

 

Centennial Hall, London Ontario

Moving Pictures goes Platinum or Gold.

 

Neil looks thrilled. As usual.

 

Everybody got a framed record except the guy who wrote the lyrics that made the record successful? :LOL:

Eeyore's is down by his knees. :P

Ah yes, I see it now, thanks. Neil was probably thinking "Dammit, how many books will I need to rearrange to make room for this dumb thing?" :LOL:

Yeah, poor John was starting to resemble Eddie on an Iron Maiden album cover there. It was definitely best for all parties that he left when he did. He would've died much younger otherwise.

The guy in the middle is Alex! From right to left- Patrick Warburton (from Seinfeld), Dan Dutton, (don't know who that is) Alex, Paula Trickey (actress), Tommy Thayer of KISS and Alice Cooper. Charity golf tournament a year ago.

The details on this pic said RUSH 1968 - Alex Lifeson, John Rutsey, Geddy Lee, which would put them at 18 years old

 

This is probably from this era:

 

Geddy

 

He turned his basement into practice space for a band he formed with high-school friends. After the band began earning income from small performances at high-school shows or other events, he decided to drop out of high school and play rock and roll professionally. His mother was devastated when he told her, and he still feels that he owes her for the disappointments in her life. "All the shit I put her through," he says, "on top of the fact that she just lost her husband. I felt like I had to make sure that it was worth it. I wanted to show her that I was a professional, that I was working hard, and wasn't just a f***in' lunatic"

Ironic that Rutsey looks like Neil in the above pic

 

I thought that as well.

I kind of think it's just the fashion at the time.

 

Then how come Geddy and Alex don't look like Neil in that pic ?

Why didn't my bro look like Neil but some of his friends did? Come on.

 

His "look" wasn't (and still isn't) particularly unique.

Great pic. They couldn't even raise the basketball backboard for them. Maybe the HS wasn't that technically advanced yet.
