Rush Didact Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Rush before Geddy Lee: meet the bass player who stepped aside Some really interesting info here, I've never heard his side of the story before. I knew he went on to play with Red Rider, but I had no idea he played on Put Your Hand in the Hand when he was still a teenager and Rush were still playing church basements. WTF. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principled Man Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 It was cool to get a mini-autobiography from Jones, but I hate these “ancient history” questions. This little blurb in the History of Rush shouldn’t be inflated to something that it wasn’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timbale Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I have always wondered about those p/g opening slots and whether Jeff's connection to the band was acknowledged. The first show I ever saw was the September 21st '84 gig where they opened (the one that's filmed), but I couldn't remember if Geddy had maybe mentioned something onstage or not. Would have been fun if he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taurus Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Cool - that is a bit of Rush history I wasn't familiar with. I even saw one of those shows where Red Rider opened for Rush 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytserush Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Wasn't aware of his side of it as pertaining to those early days Fills in some blanks.. I did know about Jeff's musical upbringing. The guy is a musician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
