One of Alex's greatest solos. Ever!

Absolutely! I don't always like it when bands do unplugged versions of songs and change them a lot. Here are a few that I think would be great unplugged played only by Rush: Rivendell Lessons Closer To The Heart Cinderella Man The Trees Different Strings Losing It Emotion Detector Presto Resist Roll Away The Stone Nobody's Hero Between Sun And Moon Everyday Glory How It Is Far Cry The Larger Bowl The Way The Wind Blows We Hold On Halo Effect The Wreckers The Garden

I am surprised Rush did not buy it and renovate it. They made so much history there. Other bands have recorded there, but Le Studio has always seemed like Rush's recording home.

I listened to it tonight for the first time in months. I was reminded of just how great it is.

A fabulous album. A few of the tracks take getting used to at first, but as with much great music and great Rush music, it has to be absorbed and grows on you. Then you greatly enjoy it! However, most of the music of Rush, we love immediately! :-)

It is better is they are done. Went out strong and positive. They knew it was time. They all did. There is no sense in begging Neil to keep going. Neil is done. Neil has had lots of physical issues from years and years of playing. Let him enjoy his life. Alex has arthritis issues. Knows he is done too. For the time being, although I think he and Geddy may do something at some point. Does anyone know that in around 1979, Michael Schenker of UFO was going to be doing a project with Geddy and Neil? I think he wanted to form a band with them, or play on his first solo album. But it did not happen. I feel that Alex will do some kind of project with other musicians in the future and that Geddy will do another solo album in the not too distant future. I have a strong feeling that Alex and Geddy regularly talk and communicate with each other, yet I seriously doubt they talk to or communicate with Neil. It is nothing negative at all. I also feel that Neil is very tired of the whole Rush ride and wants to be away from all of it. Not just Rush, but drumming and music as a whole. And that's fine.

There are so many that could be favorites! But just a favorite? For me, it has to be Hemispheres!
