Almost every year during the 80s in the UK music press Rush were rumoured to be headlining Monsters of Rock at Donington. But they were never into the idea at all, and probably just as well. I don't know how the Power Windows setlist for example would have gone down with an audience of 50,000 metalheads.

What about "Snider"...

I remember seeing a quote from Neil before one of these shows... "Look at the size of the crowd out there. We're a hockey team, not a football team."

Tributes from Alex and Geddy... https://www.instagram.com/p/CnTIKWeLG20/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_mid=A7968FF4-909D-4607-B29C-27AC86D1B894 https://www.instagram.com/p/CnTItugN390/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_mid=5B76DE8C-5A73-4029-BE51-CF2C31A6F1EA

First saw a rough copy of this around 2006. The colorised 2112 at the end was completely new to me though, looks excellent

The original CD release of Signals sounded dreadful, muddy and quiet. Getting the remaster years later was like hearing a whole new album.

Just discovered this clip. Wow! What a gem to have kept under wraps for all these years. Even the photos in the video are unseen!

Tickets now on sale for Peter Gabriel next year, even more expensive than Genesis were. My friends have broken the £200 barrier. I think I'll sit this one out.

Sad news. Just heard Love Hurts on the radio the other day

Too far....

I'm not so sure, he was on some "tracks of my years" type show recently and picked Xanadu as the favourite song of his teenage years. Got most of it played on BBC daytime radio too, much to my pleasant surprise

Understandable as they were made in the same studio just six months apart. No other Rush recordings took place so close together.

Agreed, the debut is great fun and actually one of Geddy's favourites, but it's not the same band. Vapor Trails from the Peart years for me. Unlike any of their other albums, such dark and deeply personal lyrics, with music to match. I love it, but again it's an outlier.
