jnoble Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 To each their own. But I find it impossible to enjoy a band no matter how much spirit they have if I'm making a pained cringe face at the vocals lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furie Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Just curious how much were tickets? I saw them in Huntington, LI. I paid $40 each, but that was for front row balcony, geddy side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess that's why I never go to see them. (Unless it's Rush of course.) I suppose if I ever found a Marillion or Kevin Gilbert tribute, I might check them out too following some research. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueschica Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) It's cool that tribute bands exist. And it's a helluva tall order to be a Rush tribute band so my hat's off to those that can do it well. I caught a few YouTube vids of Mystic Rhythms doing their thing and they do it respectably. Here's another Rush tribute band that does it well IMHO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kndbyOtMRaQ&sns=emMightily impressed with Lotus Land as well.How many Geddy lookalikes ,bald or with wigs,are running around with tight trousers?Also both bands have adapted certain mannerisms.For example the drummers look serious,studious and grumpy.A FB group I'm in just had a group meet up at a Lotus Land concert in South Carolina a few weeks ago. LL got rave reviews!! I was wishing SC was closer. Edited October 11, 2017 by blueschica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For $40, a cover/tribute has got to totally get the spirit and vibe of what they are playing for me to see them and even then Marillion or Emerson Lake and Palmer tribute band would have to drop out of the sky for me to even consider it.

It's not a loss if the bottom line is that I don't care too much about cover bands. I can still respect their efforts. Besides, how is preferring to go to four concerts instead of one a loss? Explain that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todem Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) Impressive. Not an easy task. I would probably never go see them though......maybe, but probably not. I have seen Brit Floyd and Australian Floyd both were incredible. Close your eyes and you would not know the difference.Rush though? Extremely tough. And the main reason is just how unique all three of them were. And the vocals.....no one is Geddy.I think the vocals is the hardest part to get past here with them. Impossible to duplicate. However. They do a heck of job musically and all the wigs, cloths and looks.....really nice job. Edited January 24, 2018 by Todem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonE Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 In the 90's and early 2000's there was a Rush tribute band in the Chicago area called Animation (which pre-dated the song Animate). They did not try to be a match for Rush, particularly in the vocals, but instead gave their energy to the songs. I actually appreciated that tribute band, as opposed to another (whose name I don't remember) who was sounded more faithful to Rush but didn't quite capture the emotion of their songs. Also, Animation covered a great variety of their material, whereas the other band pretty much focused on the 2112-Signals era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
