This morning I have been busy. I have gone thru my whole Rush vinyl record collection, make sure that all is in order, and that everything is listed correct on discogs. It was quite a few records that wasn't! But now it is. The work took about 2 hours. I still have to listen to every record to judge the sound quality, but that is work that is done while enjoying the music. I am just happy that every Rush record is listed correct on discogs. When I started collecting vinyl records about 15ish years ago, I did not care much (or was not skilled enough to know) about different pressings and such. I just looked at a record, if it looked clean, I bought it and enjoyed the music. Sometimes I wish I never learned about pressings. Because now it's much harder to collect... Anyway, now I am going to reward my self by listening to Rush - Hold Your Fire on the 2015 reissue vinyl record, before eating breakfast!

Ah finally friday... this morning I am playing a live record by Rush called All The World's A Stage on a 1976 original US pressing. I remember when I got this on vinyl record. It was a few years ago now. And I was so happy! It was my first Rush live record, and I was kinda new as a Rush fan. I have played this many times since then. But it's been a while ago. Since I got the 2015 reissue, that do sound better in my opinion. But I felt like playing this one now!

@YYZumbi - I was out for a bicycle ride this morning. An activity I have started since the covid struck, my old bike now tuned up and carrying me over the miles, my "hog" I call it, affectionately.

 

Hold Your Fire was my "inspiration album" before starting today. I choose a Rush album each day, park the car, play it loud enough to hear, but not to bother others.

 

Finish my coffee, smoke half a cigarette. Swallow an apple sauce cup, granola bar and apple juice tetra pack.

 

Stretch...listening to Turn The Page, feeling cranked up I start peddling. Two hours. (That's just over an hour in U.S.A. time!)

 

Thank you for posting the album Hold Your Fire, mine is on CD format.

 

And All The World's A Stage - I have the same release. So nice to hear the different live albums - Exit Stage Left, next.

 

The group really tried to record their take on each live album, getting more involved as time went on.

 

Check it out!

 

(Edit: I read about your wanting to read Neil books, back in 2016. Hope you have read lots and are happy!)

Today I am for the very first time listening to a Rush bootleg called Ohio 1975 on vinyl record (limited version on grey vinyl), released 2016. It's the second time they was in Cleveland, Ohio, and they had just released their second studio record (first one with their new drummer Neil Peart) called Fly By Night. The quality on this bootleg is listenable, but not perfect. It is a FM broadcast recording, but it is kind of muffed sound. And is not recommended to new Rush fans, only fans that want everything, no matter the quality. 3 of these songs (Anthem, Beneath, Between And Behind and Fly By Night) was released as bonus songs on a previous bootleg called ABC 1974, which was the first time they was in Cleveland, Ohio. And Neil was then kind of new in the band. It has a bit better sound quality to it as well.

This evening, before going to sleep, I am listening to Rush - Permanent Waves World Tour 1980 on vinyl record, which was the bonus live concert that came with the 40th Anniversary box set of Permanent Waves. I still have not decided what I think about this bonus concert. I have to listen to it more I think. I really wish they would have one whole concert and the songs in correct order as they was played! Starting with the song Beneath, Between And Behind feels just weird! They started with 2112 on this tour as first song!!

This morning I am listening to Rush - Time Machine: Live In Cleveland 2011 on the 2019 vinyl record version. This was the tour where they played their whole studio record Moving Pictures live. It was amazing! I saw this tour, and I will never forget it! Best day ever!!

Now I am listening for the very first time on (just got it from the post office) Rush - Live In St. Catharines, April 1974 on vinyl record. This is a bootleg that was recorded at a school in the early days when John Rutsey still was the drummer. Rush have released this concert on DVD. But never as audio only.

This morning I am rocking out to Rush debut record from the 3 record collection called Archives which contains their 3 first records (RUSH, Fly By Night and Caress Of Steel). It's the first time I listen to this one, I bought it last week. Before I only had the 2014 reissue of this record, so it's nice to hear a 70s pressing of this record! :)

 

(Not sure which pressing I have, have not checked it yet, so I just link to the main page of this record) https://www.discogs.com/Rush-Archives/master/7422?sort=catno&sort_order=asc

Listening to Rush - Fly By Night from the 3 record collection called Archives. First time I hear a 70s pressing of it. The closest I have heard is a 1983 UK pressing. Which sounds ok, but not as good as this one! This might even beat the 2015 reissue.

 

And this time I know which pressing I have, it is this one: https://www.discogs.com/Rush-Archives/release/6378650
