Thanks everyone! Here's hoping for an interesting night! Yes, we ended up second night in DC, seems to be a pattern but I'm good with anything!

What the title says. As near as I can figure out by looking at the setlists so far, it seems like we are likely to get the Moving Pictures oriented set? Anything is OK with me, but Im going with two Rush noobs, my husband and son, who have requested playlists to listen to before we go. (Dammit we used to just have to show up and listen ! ) Any ideas or yea or nay would help me. (You would think they would have listened before this with all of the Rush we have in the house but . . . . . ) Thanks!

Lol! I think EagleMoon was the one that was friends with him and identified him on one of those 2015 periscope broadcasts where he was three (or four, or five) sheets to the wind! Glad he is still out there attending Rush functions!

It's my sleep music! Works every time!

Mitch, besides Geddy, are there other rock lead singers you admire and/or feel have handled their vocals well over a long career ??

Great get on the interview, Rod! If I think of anything I will post it!

This was an announcement today from the RushCon people. You have to make a Discord account (they say it's simple.) I'm taking it with a grain of salt because they tried streaming the first night of the tour and the stream got shut down pretty quickly, but this might be worth a try if you dont have a VPN (guilty ) "" For anyone planning to watch the new Neil Peart: No One’s Disciple documentary, we’re putting together a worldwide watch party on the RushCon Discord. Wednesday, September 23 Join us at 7:45 PM ET Documentary starts at 8 PM ET We’ll all watch together and use the Discord chat during the film. No microphones, no talking over the movie, just a bunch of Rush fans watching and reacting together. The documentary is streaming in Canada on CBC Gem, and we’ll be broadcasting the Canadian stream through the watch party so everyone can watch along with us. And yes, bring Kleenex. I have a feeling we’re going to need it. You do not need to know anything about Discord. It’s free, and we’re setting this up to be as simple as possible for people who have never used it before. Join / RSVP to the watch party here: https://discord.gg/SKupTHYP9?event=1546684308721242133 We also just launched a permanent RushCon Discord for meetups, ticket exchanges, Rush news, event chatter and general Rush nerdery: https://discord.gg/FyraNyRJy Hope a bunch of you can join us. See you in the Cyber Sea."

Thank you!

Hi Paula! Nice to see you here!

That was fun to read! Thank you for posting it!

Thank you both for the info! I'm always wanting to learn more about my favorite group!

That's his Frankenbass from the 1970s. It started as a stock late-60s/1969 Fender Precision Bass with a standard split-coil Precision (P) bass pickup in the middle position. Later, Geddy and his tech modified it by cutting the body into a teardrop shape and adding an extra Jazz (J) bass pickup at the bridge. I cut and pasted that part because I couldnt remember exactly what he had done to it, maybe its not accurate aanymore if he has made additional changes. I do know he said he regretted making the moifications as he didnt like the sound as well afterward.

I'm still trying to figure out a fan we met in Philadelphia for Geddy's bass book signing in 2019 ! He was really outgoing and it was fun to talk to him but he was in full Parrothead gear- Leis, hawaiian shirt, and grass skirt over his jeans. He told me it was his party outfit and he was there to party; that seemed to work but he stood out that day. If its anyone here- it was fun talking to you! Mahalo!

Can you blame her? She's pretty popular now!

I like to think that loved ones who have passed peek in on people once in a while. . Whether they come in the form of a bird or not, it's cool that that experience spoke to Geddy.
