Well, I couldn`t have been more impressed if I had watched The Bells of St Mary`s being played on the mouse organ. The lead singer/bassist/keyboardist/violinist (yes, he does the whole Geddy thing as well as looking like Geddy, complete with soul patch and ponytail) really does sound like Geddy, circa 2005 so still able to hit the notes and has the voice spot on, tonally and pitchwise. Really impressed with his playing - opening with Headlong Flight was a great choice. It`s not his fault but I wouldn`t play Stick it Out or Driven if I was arranging the setlist. All delivered faultlessly though. Added marks for him singing and violin-ing Losing It, in very impressive fashion. The guitarist was good. He does not look like Alex. He looks like Wolfgang Van Halen if he was older and uglier. He didn`t do anything wrong, but he wasn`t as striking as his colleagues. Maybe I can`t watch guitarists without being too critical. Jamie Dunleavey is their drummer. Maybe it`s possible to be totally objective about watching an attractive youngish red-haired female playing awesomely? She was amazing. Natural Science was impeccably delivered. Cygnus X-1 got the full treatment, Tom Sawyer too, and YYZ was a real standout. She`s fantastic and lots of her videos are on the various social media disgraces/platforms, and I would recommend investigation if drumming is your thing. We missed 2112 (I assume it was the encore?) due to leaving for the penultimate train, as Scot Rail is far too risky to trust that the last train will actually turn up. On the upside, we got to leave halfway through Xanadu before any lyrics about melons or milk. Perfect.

Hello everyone. Me and my beloved are going to see https://www.bandsintown.com/e/106071147-moving-pictures-rush-tribute-scotland-at-macarts?came_from=209 in an hour. It`s as near to the real thing as I`m ever going to get. I wouldn`t personally handpick the R40 setlist they promise, but I`ll be very happy with some Natural Science and a bit of 2112 action. I`m keeping my expectation levels low, which is in marked contrast to my shouting-along-and-ruining-it-for-everyone-else levels.

Are you the brain specialist?

Oh no, I really want something that will make people be attracted to me like a magnet.

I heartily endorse this post.

After a blazing row, the Germans and Italians had turned back, taking with them the last of the hairnets.

Jamming the midweek with fixtures, that`s so passé.

I want to go home.

That piece of halibut was good enough for Jehovah.

Yeah, I know that, but I wanted to give the impression of a real last supper.

Bottled it, right at the end.

Hey, that's Gerry Marinello. He fought the Killer last week.

All right all right all right we'll kill him first and then have tea and biscuits.

His eyes just closed, and he fell into the wastepaper basket. I've covered him with a copy of the 'Charlie George Football Book'.

If you're going to split hairs, I'm going to piss off.
