So if Rush were more focused on documenting their live show in photos and in-studio not so much, why are there so many from the PeW - MP era?

Sub The Camera Eye for Freewill and I'm onboard. Freewill got the edge for its universal appeal.

Nickel and Dime by Journey might be an influence on the track in general.

They should do an unplugged or stripped down thing. No drums. An EP of new songs. Throw in a few things from each solo album ("Still"; "Grace to Grace"; "Strip and Go Naked"), plus a few Rush deep cuts ("Tears"; "Different Strings").

Doing a complete Rush marathon of all the DVDs. Everything. In chronological order. Lots of jumping around but it's worth it. From Laura Secord to R40 ... and the Time Stand Still doc. A year ago I attempted a marathon but failed to get through it and took a long break from the band. But this time I'm determined to complete it. I'm in the midst of the Clockwork Angels Tour DVD. After that I'm going to make it through TSS. I hope.

Can someone transcribe the article? When I click the link it says that I need a subscription to read the full article. Thanks in advance.

Amazing. I love Rush and Blondie, but together? Hmmmmmmm So I am friends with all the Y&T guys. They told me many stories about opening up for RUSH on the East Coast in 1984. Meniketti would go out on stage and verbally bash new wave bands like Blondie, Talking Heads, Flock Of Seagulls, Modern English, Frankie Goes To Hollywood on and on and on every night. One night after Y&T was done with their set, Geddy went up to Dave and told him to never do that shit again on stage. Dave respected Geddy's wishes. That's cool. Rush dug the New Wave bands. Thanks bud! Yes they did! Look what happened to Y&T after 1984! "In Rock We Trust" almost went gold, but then Dave and Co went downhill. "Down The Tubes" Tour as Neil would say about "Caress." After "In Rock We Trust" they put out "Open Fire." A great live album, but A&M put "Summertime Girls" on it. Yeah, a big MTV commercial hit, but to my young ears it was PURE SHITE. From there Y&T put out "Down For The Count." A terrible album and art too. JMO Then A&M dropped Y&T and Geffen signed them. They fired Haze and hired the young and good looking Jimmy DeGrasso. Good timekeeper on the kit, but no Leonard. Meniketti actually told me when they were in the Geffen lobby waiting to work out the new contract, guess who else was next to them in the lobby? Yep! GUNS N ROSES! So then Y&T did "Contagious." "Ten" then were dropped again. They did "Musically Incorrect" and "Endangered Species." I liked some of those albums but it was nothing like the first six records. "Yesterday & Today" "Struck Down" "Earthshaker" "Black Tiger" "Mean Streak" "In Rock We Trust" All masterpieces to me. Then ten years ago Y&T resurfaced with their last studio album. "Facemelter." It was the last record to feature most of the writing and bass chops by the late great Phil Kennemore. He was a great guy and his wife was sweet too. They are both gone now. Anyway, probably too much history about Y&T but my top two bands back in the Eighties were always RUSH Y&T I was always surprised why Y&T opened for RUSH on the East Coast, when they are a Bay Area band. I would have shit myself if I was able to see Y&T open for RUSH at the Cow Palace back in 1984. But that was not the case. Another quick story that John Nymann told me about Y&T and Journey. So not sure if you have heard of Herbie Herbert. But he was the manager back then of both Y&T and Journey. One band was going to get signed by CBS EPIC. The other was going to get A&M. So Herbie flipped a coin. I believe Neal Schon called it. It was heads I believe. So Journey was awarded the CBS contract. Y&T got stuck and fukked with the A&M label. So not sure if that had anything to do with Y&T's demise. If I were Dave Meniketti, I would have taken the Ozzy Osbourne job after Randy passed away. Ozzy and Sharon flew to the Bay Area to ask Dave to join. Ozzy actually got on his hands and knees and begged Dave to join. Dave politely passed and stayed with Y&T. Did you know that Yesterday & Today was Leonard Haze's band? Haze hired Meniketti. But today it's Dave's band. He was able to buy up everyone's 25% cut. Crazy music business man. Hell, I'm in the wrong business! LOL! Too bad the music biz sucks ass today. That's life!! "LIFE LIFE LIFE!" Love, Y&T LOL!! It does suck now. I'm so glad I grew up when I did. What happened in popular music between 1965 - 1995 was a rare phenomena. Music was, as you say, LIFE! Now so many great artists are leaving us. The end of an era. But thankfully we have the music. It lives on. If only Beethoven had been able to make albums and DVDs...

This is incredible!! What was the date of this show???? You might kill me. I was into Blondie before RUSH. I am serious. Crazy! I believe this was ‘79, Hemispheres tour! Might have been ‘80, I’m not certain. I had a look and on 1/21/79 Blondie opened for Rush at the Spectrum https://www.rush.com/tour/hemispheres/ https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/rush/1979/spectrum-philadelphia-pa-23d900c7.html Was this the show where Rush fans booed Blondie off the stage? I read that story somewhere...

:-o !?

He obviously wasn't expecting that snapshot. Geddy looks weird too, I think it's because he hasn't got his glasses on. Funny, for all those years Ged never wore the glasses and it didn't seem weird but once he did if you see him without them in pictures from 1990 onwards it seems strange. I think it's because in this case he must have only just taken them off and you can see the marks on his nose and cheeks. Possibly but I think we are just used to seeing him from Presto forward wearing them. It became so much a part of his look. It even seems odd in the Show Don't Tell video seeing him without them knowing he started wearing them in that era. Which album do you prefer Hold Your Fire or Presto? Hm... Tough question. I don't know that I've ever compared the two. I've compared HYF to PoW; I've compared Presto to RTB. HYF and Presto are in my mind of two separate eras yet they are back-to-back studio releases. They both have their charms and their weaknesses. I think lately though I might lean HYF ...I have no logical explanation for why exactly.
