All Activity

Right before ATWAS dates, will be cool to see. This guy had a little treasure trove of 8mm snippets of rixk history. Whets the appetite for sure

Recovered by Speedy's Films from original 8mm reels, the footage shows Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart on June 18, 1976, during the 2112 tour, at the moment when Rush was beginning to transform ambition, heaviness, and touring into rock history; watch it! https://rushbrasil.com/en/rush-e-o-video-raro-resgata-a-turne-de-2112/

Way!

Available on the R40 Live DVD if your scoring.

I imagine these have appreciated. I wish I could say I was a fan of McNaughton's work, but I'm mostly not. I do enjoy his work on the tourbooks from Counterparts on, however. I really wanted to like some of the limited pieces he released.

I know nothing about this, but it seems like AI only knows Rush's 21st century sets with maybe the exception of Driven and Different Strings.

Did they speed up all the added songs on the concert disc to make them all fit? All the ones not on the original are just blistering fast. No way they played those songs that fast.

Every time I watch a video with Neil it makes me cry. He was a fireball of talent on this performance.

My wife and I are going to this show. Though, we will probably not be looking to meet up. My wife is probably more introverted than Neil was. Really looking forward to this show!

Shimmer is both a floor wax AND a dessert topping!

I liked how Alex would let the opening chord hang as a bit of a false start while pretending to look for Geddy and Neil. A good bit of fun! That seemed to only last through the 2007 shows though. Any bootlegs I've heard from 2008 he just starts the song as usual.

Its both actually

I thought it was a great opener on snakes and arrows. I do agree that it works better as a second song though…but as a one tour opener it rocked.

Limelight is a great "second song" versus an opener.

The album marked the most difficult and exciting comeback in Rush's history. To commemorate the date, the RushBrasil.com It features a special performance of "One Little Victory," recorded in Toronto during the R40 tour and included in the documentary: Cinema Strangiato. https://rushbrasil.com/en/vapor-trails-faz-24-anos-veja-rara-versao-de-one-little-victory/

It's a good song, but makes for a crappy opener imo.

Original and signed Andrew McNaughtan prints. (signed by Andrew and Rush) Altogether they cost me about $1,500.00, at the time of their release. And the custom frames and mattes were several hundred dollars also.

Just got the GUP 40th Anniversary. Started the concert. Why are the songs so fast. Did they speed them all up to get on one disc? So Subdivision is what I'm listening to now and it is at breakneck speed. No way they played that song that fast.

@treeduck thanks for making me laugh!!

Hang on!!!!!!!! Is it aftershave or motor oil??

What a very thoughtful and sensitive recollection of Matt's friendship with NEIL, and the difficulty of discussing NEIL's passing. Thanks for posting this.

Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson's return to the stage at the Juno Awards wasn't just a surprise performance. By choosing the opening track from their first album, Rush returned to the starting point of their own history to begin a new journey. https://rushbrasil.com/en/finding-my-way-e-o-recomeco-simbolico-do-rush/

One of my favourites!
