i vote Carnies as sickest riff, with a close second Alex and Geddy riff just before the vocals start on Caravan!

so true! classics are only classics because of time! I was @ the Charlotte show last night and the 2nd half with CA material and the strings were my fav. of the night. we probably have a few more tours to savour this new instant classic songs of CA, lets enjoy em while we can!

This describes just about everybody that was sitting around me at the Cleveland show or just the audience overall, for the most part. One theory is that possibly many people don't know about or appreciate the new album. There is another possibility: I am probably going to direct the thread in a course that you may not wish, but I think technology has a lot to do with this. In the old days, all one had was the radio and the cassette tapes and that is about it. Now, one has the DVDs and the MP3s and the SlackerRadio and everyone can carry the music around with them everywhere and the reproduction of the sound is exact. I wonder how much this plays into it. I don't really see how someone can sit on their hands when Rush is giving every ounce of energy. I know there were very few people sitting in Charlotte tonight. I was in section 101, about center behind FOH mix and most were sittin for entire show! I realized the new generation of Rush fans are very proper, polite and sorry but very BORING!!!!!!!!!! I shall WISH THEM WELL.

It basically reads like fan fiction, and a lot of the references to Rush lyrics come across as really obvious and forced in. [i read the book on a rainy Saturday about a month ago. I would give it a 5 on a scale of 1-10. There are a lot of Rush lryics littered along the chapters which made me chuckle at times. At the end of the novel, Kevin is discussing the use of Rush lryics and says it would be neet to have a lryic(s) finding contest; I'm thinking, oh hell, not something else us Rush fans need to WASTE our time! Good thing i only checked out the book from my local library. Anyways, not a terrible book all-in-all.

There is a thread here with a couple of people responded http://www.therushforum.com/index.php?showtopic=73080 Maybe posting here will get a few more folks to see it. maybe i'll see you there; coming in from Apex,NC.
