dream & vapour Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 A newspaper article from the same stop in Dallas (courtesy Cygnus X-1): https://www.cygnus-x1.net/links/rush/images/tourdates/1974-10-17-2.jpg I got a kick out of Neil's assessment: "People like Black Sabbath, that wasn't 'energy' music, really, it was 'downer' music, ya know. It was heavy, but, uh, there was no energy . . ." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pressure/Hopenosis Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Just listening to Neil speak, even then, sounds like a scholar. How in the world does a dumb drummer, while explaining the musical output from Canada, sound so damned diplomatic?? "Viaduct out of Canada" - LOL Is that like a big tube or waterslide? My brain would be searching for "big boy" words just to converse. Ya know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dream & vapour Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Neil, with a degree of humorous humility, indicates he and the band aren't prepared to settle for just being reasonably good musicians at the 5:24 mark: Interviewer: Where are you planning on going from here? Neil: To the top. Then Alex, being ever the Spaßmacher, replies, "I'd like to go down to the Bahamas for a couple weeks." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New_World_Man Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 (edited) Wow. Heavy but no energy. Little did they know Judas Priest was just around the corner. Edited June 5, 2022 by New_World_Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamas Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Thanks Jarg, my first listen, ever. Interesting how Geddy sort of says John's departure was a difference in music, tired of touring...polite and keeping it clean (like so much of Rush ever since), but over the years we have a bit of a different story.

Jeffrey Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 "Record in January and release the album in March"...that changed a bit over the years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytserush Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Always great to revisit the innocence of Rush in 1974. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
