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.

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.

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.
