got to finally see them in 81, and havent missed a tour since...
this is my favorite rush setlist of all the yrs i have seen them...
why?
because it isnt full of the same songs i have been hearing live since 81, it is a fresh set, with lots of deep cuts...
i think i would have been given the middle finger more if i went to a show with the same ole same ole set, heavy on moving pictures/permanent waves era songs...
the songs are fresh, the lightening/screen images are fresh and even neil has a new drum solo for this tour...
i have seen two shows on the tour, and everyone i went to the shows with, or hooked up with after loved the current setlist...
rush is evolving and breaking out of the mold...
too bad many of their fans are unable to do the same...
peace
I thought the first album came out in 74
you're right...
i get that messed up quite often...
rush started getting played on the radio here when i was in sixth grade, and i went into sixth grade in 73...
i forget to take into account it was 74 when i finished that grade, and bought the album that summer...
workingman and train kept a rolling by aerosmith are the soundtrack for that time in school, and due to fuzzy memory i think both songs were around for the entire 6th grade period and not just the latter part of that grade....
