But I’d like to think we’re mostly not like any other fan base. I think our base would welcome an accomplished drummer or two filling in. WE know there’s only 1 Neil and we wouldn’t whoever it was to be Neil.

And know, they wouldn’t go by Rush. It has long been documented that there isn’t a Rush without all three. However, using another name gets around that. Semantics I know.

Dreaming but dreams don’t need to have motion.

First, I think a tour would be great. A great way to honor Neil and earn a few bucks as well.

If they were to decide to tour in some form, what would the set list be? Keep in mind that it would probably be a shorter set than in the past. Besides, I think it would allow them to include songs from their solo albums which they never got to perform live on their own.

(Mind you, I don’t know any of Victor)

The Spirit of Radio

Limelight

Stick It Out

Runaway Train

“Victor Song 1”

Afterimage / Ghost Rider

Tom Sawyer

Freewill

“Victor Song 2”

The Present Tense / Moving To Bohemia

The Pass / Time Stand Still

Closer To The Heart

The Trees

YYZ (video of Neil performing solo)

Resist (acoustic) / Bravado (acoustic)

The Garden

Far Cry

Subdivisions

Encore:

Headlong Flight

2112:

- Overture

- Temples of Syrinx

- Grand Finale

Better than the “rank your favorite songs never played live” and “this song versus song” garbage that’s on here all the time.

So it took a little research. Sue me

Trials of Apollo

“He (Grover) raised his pipes trilled Rush’s “Tom Sawyer.” Crest looked entranced. Meg covered her ears.”

Fall of 8th grade (1981?). Sitting at my friends table & eating a bowl of cereal (probably hung over - oh 8th grade - sigh) and Tom Sawyer came on MTV. It got my attention right away.

Over the next few years, I found friends who shared the same enthusiasm and respect for the musicianship. Besides, I had a high voice and took pride in being able to imitate Ged. It was during this late 8th - 10th grade, bring apart of our band, that my education of the band exploded.

Good News

Chuck: "Makes one feel like Tom Sawyer".

Carol: "Like the hero in the book."

Chuck: "No. Like the #•title of a Rush song".

Thanks as well. This was so much fun. I wish I could have joined in more. Everyone was so funny and entertaining.

And it keep this 47 year old somewhat hip on the latest tech gizmo. Lol.

When we're having withdrawals next week, can someone put on one of the concert DVDs and periscope it from your living room? Maybe progressively get drunk or have your wife get drunk and dance ala Bob's Girlfriend. TIA

Love this idea!

Intermission. I better go check on my kids. Is periscope turning anyone else into a bad parent?

 

I am only ignoring my laundry :) They will grow up too fast, hug them now. Losing it must have made me emotional :P

 

This is probably the last time I'm using periscope. Everyone in the house went to bed hours ago. Even our boxer is asleep at my feet.

Plenty of other n=bands you can catch via the Scope! Caught U2 the other night from MSG...

I agree with ytserush! The Tampa show was not only my last Rush concert, but probably my last concert ever. Who the hell is worth going to see now after them?

Agreed

Man all the emotions I felt when I heard it live in NYC is coming back to me now...holy f**k!

Me too - especially during the solo. JD plays that so incredibly well.

I'm gonna miss these threads and the tour in general :(

Me too DPL. :(

Sound check at 8:30 EST?

Btw, I echo what Lorraine said. I haven't been able to join these threads as much, especially since I'm just recovering from my Newark show Rushover. But I enjoyed reading all the threads. Some of you are truly funny folks....

Well - thanks.

That is all

Sunset at 7:54PM, dark around 8:21PM. It should be dark by the 4th or 5th song.

 

I don't know where you live but it doesn't get dark here until after 930 right now.

 

It gets dark around 900 here during the summer.

 

I know when I lived over close to Cincinnati it didn't get dark till almost 10 in July because we were close to the timeline. Since I've been in Pittsburgh it gets dark a little earlier but still it's after 930.

Grew up in NJ But went to college in OH. I remember noticing one summer that it got darker much earlier in NJ.
