What did I care?

Best album since HYF. Great tour to go with it as well.

Nothing made me happy today. I've got the Summertime Blues.

Good time to listen to Feedback. :)

 

Or, maybe not. It might make you feel worse.

I actually enjoy their cover of Summertime Blues. It's a good song :)

No One at the Bridge is fantastic. Cygnus X-1 Book 1 Part 3 is amazing too. And then there's all of 2112 and Armageddon in Hemispheres.

I can tell that was during Red Barchetta but I don't know why

to see me betrayed

I am young. Only 15.

Hey me too!

Little by little, I learned

The things that we're concealing

Will never let us grow

Time will do its healing

You've got to let it go...

Lakeside Park seems like a summer song even though it mentions the 24th of May in it.

I love Geddys hair. Especially the bushy 70s version.

 

He does have awesome hair- gush, gush, it looks really thick here . . .

What is that bass on the far right?

 

Your question made me do some research! The photo is from around 1978. It turns out the bass is a very old Fender Precision bass, used to record Rush's first album, but then given a makeover with the body cut into a teardrop shape, the blue paint, and an extra pickup added. After that, it was used on the tours for A Farewell to Kings, Hemispheres, and Permanent Waves. Apparently the head stock was reshaped as well- photo and more details in this article-

Thanks for the info!

I really should read this thread...

 

Three songs from the nineties that I think are stone cold classics:

 

Everyday Glory

Cold Fire

Ghost Of A Chance.

 

Wait...THREE ISN'T ALL!

 

Dream line

Bravado

Roll The Bones (we should all love this...sorry it's a great song!)

Test For Echo

Resist

Time And Motion

Carve Away The Stone

Animate

 

Honestly...we poop on these albums but there is a lot to love about the nineties!

It's about time someone said this! The 90's are so often dismissed as bland but there are some great Rush songs from the decade.

IMO the only time Xanadu transitioned into something else without being offesive was Xanapheres on the Counterparts Tour.

Ghost of a Chance is a great song, even more great in this live version with the addition of...dat chord...

 

 

Are you talking about the very last chord Alex plays when you say "dat chord"?

 

Thanks for posting that, Brucey. I love that song, and Alex's guitar from about the 4:00 mark to the end really gets me.

 

Geddy's vocals on that are gorgeous.

 

 

This might be considered weird for me to say but I'm going to...he sounds sexy on this song. I can't think of any other Rush songs in which he sounds sexy.

These vocals are pretty good, but the Retrosepctive III version's vocals are exceptional.

 

That's good, too, but I think I like the Snakes and Arrows version better. Maybe because that performance is "my" Rush, a performance from a tour that I saw, or maybe because I like that little bit of grit in Geddy's voice. Either way, this isn't a song that I've ever really appreciated before, but now I'm starting to! :D

I've always loved Ghost of a Chance! The "I don't believe in destiny" section is so mystical. The chord at the end of the live version is orgasmic too.
