For Best Results Play at Maximum Volume......

Class of 1977 My yearbook saying was....You don't get something for nothing, you cant have freedom for free. An Old school RUSH fan....

So Far So Good...... Middle Aged Madonna.... Hold Your Head above the Crowds, don't let them Bring you Down... You Don't get Something for Nothing, You can't have Freedom for Free. (and while at work)......That's Why the call me....They call me the Workin Man....I guess that's what I am.........

One of 5 Sold Out Nights.......... Good Friday..... nooooo Excellent Friday

Already sent out my Happy 2112 Day messages to all my RUSH Friends.... Including friends in Toronto.... Spending lunch watching the 1976 live version of 2112 on youetube... Our great computers fill the hallowed halls........... Ghost of the Aragon

Good Day Aye..... Had one of the boxes for 4 off to the side just above main floor Alex's side for Moving Pictures tour at the Ampitheater....... We crammed like 6 or 8 people into it..... Amazing I still remember this stuff.....

Well Hello to all..... Been reading this for the last few years and finally joined. Joined the RUSH band wagon with the release of the first album.....For best results play at maximum volume....so I did......and have been hooked ever since. At least 33 shows. First show.... RUSH and Blue Oyster Cult at the Aragon Brawl Room.....not too many knew of RUSH back then, but those of us who did made alot of noise. They cranked....this had to be about the time COS came out or just before. Also on the Making Memories list Ranhurst Ice Arena....Small hockey rink, up close like 3rd row center sitting on a plywood floor which cover the ice. Starcastle, RUSH, and Kansas....RUSH was the hands down best band... Bytor really jammed. And Rockford Armory for the release of 2112.....April Wine, the local bar band Cheap Trick, and RUSH. Hall size of a grade school baskeball cout. standing room only...Drove in an Illinois blizzard to buy tickets at some record store in Rockford. Maybe $6.50 Those were the days. And another Aragon show for the ATWAS tour, we made a banner that has been to all of the shows our group has been to (at least 3 maybe 4 states). They played Xanadu and Closer to the heart..... And introduced them as From our next album Closer to the Heart.......Check out our banner (we call it The Shroud of the Aragon, flew inside upper balcony Geddy's side and parking garage after the show) on youtube RUSH FLAG 1977. The best part about those early years... small halls, See Factor Lighting, no screens, and the boys just jamming.....and getting into the show....(lots of Smoke Rings Filled the Air).... Can't forget the Chicago Ampitheater for Permanent Waves tour....5 nights SOLD OUT(saw 2) only Elivis tied that record. Long Live RUSH
