As I mentioned earlier in the thread...and I still think it will happen, I believe the JUNO Awards (Canadian Music Awards) in March will probably do some bigger to honour Neil. At least, that is my belief.

YES! I was thinking that the other day. We can find brilliance from Neil in just about any Rush song, but I really think his lyrics on Signals, P/G, PoW, and HYF were his very best. Just outstanding writing.

I don't think the Grammy's will offer much...but I am hopeful that the JUNO'S in March will put forth a sincere video package or something honouring him (even though I personally cannot stand any of these award shows).

Absolutely stunned and gutted. :( Still hoping this isn't real. RIP Neil. Thank you for everything you put into your work.

Serious question...am I the only person who likes DT, but doesn't fully understand just how good Scenes From a Memory really is? I mean, I enjoy the album...but have never been blown away by it, which I find odd since most people swear it is their best work. Also, after checking the setlist, I am unsure if I will attend the upcoming show near here. I think I dropped the ball by not attending the last tour when they did Images & Words in full (my favourite DT record).

What does everyone think of the "bonus track" Viper King? The song is so non-Dream Theater, but rocks hard! Love the chorus and the bad-ass riff! So good.

I'm loving this record. F***ing fantastic IMO. :haz:

Neurotica is a fantastic song. Fact.

Have been gutted by this one since hearing about it yesterday. I am a big fan of The Cranberries, and a big fan of her voice. If you haven't heard it before, I strongly suggest you give "Bury The Hatchet" a spin. A great record with so many fantastic songs. Most fans will always speak of 'Zombie', but I would rate songs like Animal Instinct, Loud and Clear, and Promises right up there with it, if not ahead. RIP Dolores.

Limbo, obviously. (Monster Mash!)

My condolences to you and your family GR. Since my father passed away, I have had a difficult time listening to The Garden to be honest.

Depends on the songs, I find. But I do enjoy the "less noisy" versions for the most part. Actually...in the case of One Little Victory, I actually found that I enjoyed the "Retrospective 3" version the best of the three. The bass sounded fantastic on it IMO.

Neurotica and Virtuality are both excellent songs...two of their best from the 90's Era. Snakes & Arrows is a fantastic album...with 'Side 1' being arguably one of their strongest "sides" since the 80's.

Mainly just single seats, sadly.

That's awesome. I really appreciate the detailed feedback. I didn't end up buying yesterday...though I was close. I just kept the 2 upper bowl tickets that I had originally bought from TM when they went on sale months ago. I do regret not going for the floors from SH yesterday...because let's face it, it's better down there...plus the filming going on. Alas...I am considering trying tomorrow if I find something "affordable" for me. Will be tough...but I'm happy to hear that I should be confident about it! Cheers!
