78jazz

If it is any consolation, my concert going experience on this show was awful.

Thanks for this source. I taped it as well and agree it was easily the better of the 2 shows that I witnessed.

For the second set, we may have been in the same row. I had on a tie-dye LZ shirt.

I wish that were my biggest bummer of the night. Mine was finding out about the last 3 minutes of the concert was missing from my recorder (thank you user error).

No scoping here, just recording!

I may be a fool, or someone's memory was/is messing with them. Geddy's statement seems to be that he never met him.

I thought Squire had talked about seeing Rush in 1983 in London and that they had a meeting to discuss him as a possible producer for GUP. If my memory is wrong, someone please straighten me out.

This whole show was filmed.

Lakeside Park is up in his range, so I get that he may have some tough nights with it. However, I think if they changed the key then there would be griping about that. I do think he is singing Anthem better now than he did in 1991-1992.

I think Geddy's is a 1960 (maybe '61). You'd probably be looking at a few thousand dollars. For me, if I wanted that configuration I think I would make it happen for a lot less.

There is a video of the first night running around.

This. This x one zillion.

Good question. I was on track to see set C and then A, but now I wonder if it will be B and C (I hope not, since B makes me the least excited). Tomorrow night's show will answer this question.

+1000. (I will just leave it at that many zeroes)

I am glad I tuned into Periscope tonight!

This is why I am done with this thread. Sorry if I did that. It seems that is where this topic will eventually go. We'll see.

I wonder how long before this hits the SOCN.

I think we know what happened with Neil at the Bristow show now! Edit: Too late on the draw. I dig the pics of Nebraska and Oklahoma though.

Count me in the camp as someone who is not so big on this song.

Wayne Gretzky bought that! I'm sure that after this debacle Ged is seriously wondering about some of his baseball memorabilia. Well, he should. The baseball market is overloaded with fakes. The one collection he had that was most certainly legit is the one he actually gave away (the Negro Leagues signed balls). The reason is simple: The market for Negro League signatures is narrow. Unless you are talking about Josh Gibson, there are very few collectors looking for Negro League autographs. And, really, in the baseball world, signatures that really mean something (meaning prior to the explosion of the memorabilia market and the demand for verification) are very hard to validate. I have a ball signed by five key members of the 1982 Cardinals' World Series team (Hernandez, Sutter, Porter, O. Smith, and McGee). I know it is authentic because I was standing next to all five men as they signed it in a True Value Hardware store in late 1982. I have no way of validating it, but I don't care. I also have a ball signed by John "Mule" Miles of the Negro Leagues. I know it was signed by him because I was standing on his porch with him when he signed it. Both balls are legit. Neither can be confirmed. Regardless, I place tremendous personal value on both of those items. If, in 50 years, a descendent tries to sell them to Chum's intellectually inept son on Pawn Stars, they won't get very far because of the validation issues. However, I am certain I will come back and mercilessly haunt said descendent. PS Caveat Emptor. It doesn't matter how much money you make, you can still be a sucker. I don't think I've ever been prouder of being a Rush fan than when I saw the Geddy Lee collection he donated to the Negro League Hall of Fame. It's pretty awesome, isn't it? Even has his name in the museum. It's a separate section on their wiki. If anyone gets a chance to see this collection, it is in a building that has the jazz museum in it as well. I bet both are worth seeing (I have only seen the jazz museum).

Plus, it is a sweet song (and probably has one my favorite Rush lyrics in it).

Emotion Detector Open Secrets War Paint (or Scars, or Anagram, or Hand Over Fist. This would be a toughie for me) Limbo

This makes me wonder if they will film a third show for the set this will not get. (I think it would be missing the A set?)

I'd also like to chime in and say that I am on the fourth song in on this video, and this does seem like a good performance. Here's to hoping the audio eventually shows up.

Bill and Jamin nail it. I agree that Neil did tend to overplay some of that debut album stuff earlier on (I think the ATWAS version of What You're Doing has this happening). I'd be surprised if Neil didn't think John Rutsey was a good drummer for that material.
