  1. I thought it was kinda funny, given this is an acknowledged fact, or didn't she actually need a bathroom break and the song was long enough? Clarity
  2. I used to listen to Glick in Toronto in the early 80's. Even got my Grandmother to listen to it in Stratford Ontario.
  3. Howard's cool. When I was standing outside of Radio City Music Hall in NYC, 9/23/1983, with my friend and the radio DJ, Howard looks out the window, sees our DJ, and shouts, "Hey Andre, get in here". We walked past the whole line up at the back of RCMH and up the stairs, got my "All Areas Pass", and the dream became reality!
  4. Thanks guys! Appreciate the feedback. The video was made on my iPhone, and I had not considered recording direct into it, but that may improve the sound considerably for my next video, although I'm fairly happy how it turned out.
  5. Thanks for the post, thank you Neil! It's worth saying that Neil is sounding very reflective, yet still living in the moment.
  6. Hi fellow Rush fans, hope you enjoy my Rush on piano. I've been playing their songs on piano since 1982, but this is the first time I posted a video. I met Rush in 1983 (story on this site). Enjoy! Dave
  7. Great show! We were in Section 310 too, at the ACC. It was a view I had never seen before. The band were firing on all cylinders. Seeing Neil quickly creep and hide at the drum kit before each set was kind of neat. Geddy's bass tone, and frenetic playing, were the best I'd seen. I liked Neil's solo, as he kept that triplet playing, while his hands were not phased by it. Alex had great tone on all solos. The Vital Signs guitar tone was just perfect, and major tone-age for every solo! Enjoyed the reggae start to Working Man, and the new ending to CTTH with the 6-beat. One vocal guy in our section was screaming for the reggae to end, but he had to wait two whole verses! hahaha.... then he screams, "now that's more like it!" Funniest comment was walking outside the ACC after the show, and some punk walks past me in the other direction sneering, "that concert sucked balls!" I first saw Rush in 1981, front row in Edmonton, but the wildest Rush show was at Radio City in New York after winning tickets from Toronto's Q-107 (cool story on a much earlier post). I got serious with Rush when a friend gave me his brother's 2112 in about 1978, which he later got crap for, and that started it all... then my currently 95 year old Grandmother in 1982 bought me Rush Deluxe Anthology sheet music for piano, which greatly helped me transition from the Royal Conservatory of Music to a rock keyboardist... which I still do with Ward 3.
