DesertTrip

This one of my LEAST favorite and rarely played Rush cd's from the 80's and before. I see I am probably alone on that. (verrrry interesting)

Subdivisions

Torn between YYZ and Red Barchetta, I had to go Red since I use it as a soundtrack on my trips out in the desert....

"tires spitting gravel....."

Jacobs Ladder. For it's technicality/timing and for sentiment as I remember cruising on Friday nights and playing it over and over....never grew tired of it.

I love this album, as it is filled with my favorites. but #1 is Cinderella Man.

"Doing what you can

They can't understand

What it means

Cinderella Man

Hang on to your plans

Try as they might

They cannot steal your dreams"

Beautiful

OMG!! You guys have no idea how GREAT it is to find others that think Geddy is the sexiest man alive!!!!

I fell in lust with him in 1978 and since then, have been a HUGE fan of his.

As a music major in college, I played bass guitar for the jazz and studio bands. My very old fuddy instructor actually cracked a smile on my final's solo one year - it was an adaptation of Geddy's Freewill solo mixed with pieces of La Villa Strangiato. lol (He never knew of course)

I played bass guitar (and keyboards) in club/hotel bands for 11 years. I often used that solo and you always know who the Rush fans are in the audience then....THEY recognize it. I even had a few recognize it (yelling RUSH!!) in a country bar once. Unfortunately, the lead guitarist told me to "never pull that sh*t again!" in a country bar. Oh well, SOMEONE liked it.

So - thank you all SO much for the wonderful eye candy!!! (OW!!!) I am in Geddy overload this week having just got X3.

Here is my meager contribution, taken from concert footage:
