That is amazing, how is that not on the extras of the documentary? Thanks' for the wonderful post. Alex still talks the same, he seems like a really nice person, also his knowledge of his guitars and how he modifies them to create his sound is so cool.

Thanks, I will give it a try.

How do you attach a picture for a post from your computer files ? Also, is there a spellcheck on this ? Thanks

Loved it !!!!!!!!!! You did a great job and I enjoyed watching a fan like myself playing the music that inspires us. Other songs that would be fun to watch for me would be Freewill and YYZ

I like Geddy's bass on CA, but I am very disappointed with his vocal melodies.

Chris Squire is Geddy's hero. Where do you think the Rickenbacker comes from? The epic Rush albums? Hemispheres, A Farewell to Kings, etc are because of Squires influence. Same goes for Alex with Steve Howe.

No, you did not bug me. I just don't understand when I say I want to hear old songs that the response has nothing to do with what I am saying. From my point of view the Rush set list have been lacking the music that I love by them since the Moving Pictures Tour. Sure they throw a bone here and there. But that's about it. I agree Geddy can't sing like he used to, but I can think of many old songs that I like that he could do and with a string section !!!!!!! I know Rush rules and it's a sin to say anything bad about them on this board, but I think that the replies should at least have something to do with what I post. Anyway, just listened to Moving Pictures tonight and enjoyed very, very much. Have a good one.

I would rather pay $25.00 to $50.00 to see Rush with some basic lighting and playing the old stuff. :dweez: You nailed it with the Eagles, they started all this BS, but people do pay so what do I know. :codger:

Can you post 70s fans please clarify for me ? The professor states, I enjoyed the mid 80's set list, different is good. Really get tired hearing the required same " popular" must play songs tour after tour. Can't understand this late in the game why many loyal Rush fans didn't feel the same way. But oh well to each his own.. This is the defense I hear time and time again about my disappointment about Rush not playing their 70s stuff. Are all the songs before Signals popular must play songs? Just trying to understand your point of view. Thanks

Oh poor, poor pitiful you. That Geddy, if only he lived in the US so our fearless leader could go after his profits. How dare he make money. He doesn't love you at all does he? LOL. You don't have to get so emotional about it. But I bet the Rush accountants cared that I know besides myself 5 other Rush fans who did not go for the same reasons. That makes 6. Times that by whatever the numbers of disappointed fans and that adds up. Let's face it, Rush sells a want, not a need, so I have no problem with them charging between $120.00 - $300.00 or more for two seats. If people are willing to pay it who am I to say they should not do it. More power to them. I still think the A-B list is kind of bogus. So there. :P

Can you tell me what you mean by "Popular" songs. Is every song they did before 1982 popular to Rush fans? That's the era I like, but I am not sure if I would call every song from that era popular or overplayed, do you ?

I did not go because I hated the set list and the prices were to high. I am sure I am not the only one. Also Geddy said something that really bugged me the other day on an interview. He was talking about the A-B set lists and saying how it's good for them so fans will go to more than one show. I know this is a business and a big one for Rush, but come on Geddy that's some BIG MONEY to not play songs on one date just to bait the fanatic into spending more money. I know you guys are going to kill me on this, but is there any part of your fandom that can see how bogus this is?

Middletown Dreams is one of the best songs off PW and hardly ever played. It should be in the set list.

LOL I grew up with them in the 70s and they were considered cool then although I had one friend who hated them and drew a mustache on a Geddy picture I had hung up on my school locker. F#cker.

The only band that this person said that should be in there before Rush is Deep Purple. Otherwise he is an idiot. Rush totally deserves to be in there.

I lost my Mom young too, I think it's totally amazing and beautiful to have a Rush song mean so much to you. Your Mom is proud of you. You are her greatest accomplishment. I am a Dad now with a 13 year old daughter. She is the best thing that ever happened to me and you are the best thing to happen to your Mom. What she would want from you is to move forward, remember what she taught you and enjoy your life. Please do not let my complaints about the Rush show distract the fact that this is an important time for you. I am glad they mean so much to you. I am glad you love their music. I am glad they give you peace. I love my Mom and I love Rush too.

That is a good idea, Ian Anderson is an artist who always plays great classics, always changes the set list, always has new material and never disappoints.

QUOTE (Astroboy2112 @ Sep 12 2012, 04:44 PM) Music is an art form. Alex, Geddy, and Neil are the artists. An artist can do whatever the heck they want with their art because it's not mine, its not yours, it's theirs. Did Picasso paint what the people wanted him to paint?! No, he did what he wanted because it was HIS art. He was speaking his mind, he was letting people inside his brain. He became a revolutionary because he followed his own vision and dreams. He was true to his art just like Rush is true to theirs. Many famous painters, sculptors,architects have been commissioned to do works of art. The Vatican paid many artists to do works of art in their temples.Many people are saying they feel robbed because Rush is not playing JL, Bastille day, Anthem, etc Now did you personally commission Rush to perform your dream setlist? No you didnt! If you payed Rush to play Jacobs Ladder and Xanadu and they don't play it then I see you having a legitimate complaint but i dont think no one posting here did that. What you did do was you bought a ticket to see an artist perform HIS art. You are not the owner of Rush's catalog. Your not Ged,Alex, and Neil's boss. You didn't write Jacobs Ladder. They did! If they feel that that song doesn't fit their message and their vision today then they don't play it because IT'S THEIR ART. Rush has always been true to their vision and art. If you didn't watch the doc i suggest you watch it so you can learn a little about Rush artistic manifesto. They will not play songs because X fan or Y fan wants to hear them. They will play the songs that they feel best represent their vision and art at the time. They are playing songs from the 80's that lyrically and musically speak to them at this moment. If you actually payed attention to what they are playing you'll notice that those songs have some very strong lyrics.They are also playing the new album with strings so that it stays true to their latest work of art ,CA, which had strings on the record. It's their art, they are playing what they want and saying what they want to say because they are true to themselves as artists and their art and you better believe they're damn proud of that art. If you are a fan of Rush as an artist... How the *$$*^ are you not satisfied with seeing the band perform their art?!! People complaining about this setlist being a travesty...You know what the real travesty is fans insulting their favorite artist for staying true to their vision since 1974. Notice how hush hush Rush was about their set list, I mean art, so all the diehard Rush fans buy tickets so they can get the best seats they can, Guys (and girls), they are pulling your chain. As for me I waited to see what the set list is before I bought a ticket because I have been burned before by their lame set lists, art. I knew they would not play much classic Rush, but this surpassed my low expectations. Go Rush !!!!!!!!!!

Ru$h
