EagleMoon Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Wow that was a fun and exciting time. I loved looking forward to the periscope feeds. You never knew what we were going to get. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystic Slipperman Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) I'll never forget that night. Amazing show, during a very tumultuous time in my life. Weird to think that that would really be IT. Edited August 1, 2017 by Mystic Slipperman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I miss the Periscope events...That was a special summer! I do too, and it was. Very special. Those periscope threads were a blast. Even though I couldn't watch a thing on account of my dial-up, just "being there" with all of you made it so much fun. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I suspect they will be back out on tour - a brief one - but a tour. Don't ask me why I suspect it. I just have "a feeling." 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystic Slipperman Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I remember that week vividly. The woman I had been married to for 17 years was moving back east (her home) and had gotten into a relationship with her high school sweetheart. (They're married now!).She left California the week before the shows, and I was back in my apartment, living alone for the first time in 20 years. I took my girlfriend to the Irvine show and my drummer to the LA show. 2015 was a very emotional and raw year in many ways. Music (both playing it and listening to it/experiencing it) has been therapy for me throughout my life whenever things got rough. So, it was already emotional to see Rush play all these songs I love... but then add the dimension of the 'last tour, last show' to the mix. Uber powerful. Lots of tears during Losing It in LA. I got choked up during another song or 2 but I can't remember which ones. Probably Xanadu, just due to the power of hearing it live again. Also lots of smiles, cheers, and singing along, air drumming, you name it. Life was never gonna be the same. Thankfully, so far it's been a very happy outcome (for all involved). 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onthebeam Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I believe something is in the works and will happen within 2 years. Maybe Rush, maybe not, but I believe we will hear something from Geddy or Al, or both, together or separate soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I suspect that Neil might just be getting bored. Retirement might not be all he thought it would be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueschica Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I suspect that Neil might just be getting bored. Retirement might not be all he thought it would be. I wonder, too, if his daughter will ask to see him perform live as she gets older. It would be a different experience for her than seeing it on video or seeing a few concerts when she was five. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if Geddy and Al time it right, and Geddy sends Al in to do the convincing talking, he might be able to get Neil to do it. Maybe I'm wrong though. Maybe he really did hate doing it. Often there is a lot of truth to the wise old saying: Familiarity breeds contempt. But Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Mr. JD Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 It was a great summer. I remember walking in downtown Toronto with my daughter and my hip starting to hurt. Little did I know where that would lead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
