GeddysMullet Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 110. Geddy saying before intermission that they had to take a break because "we're like a hundred" but then scampering off the stage like a hyper little kid. 111. The look on Neil's face when he plays a drum solo. Who the heck could possibly care that he doesn't smile often? That look of concentration, precision and passion is just incredible.

Broncos730 Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 112. The fact that they existed in my lifetime and I got to experience most of their career real time. 113. Waiting outside the record stores in the 80s to open so I can grab the first copy of grace under pressure/power windows/hold your fire/etc..

friendlyvoice Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 114. Pumping your fist and shouting "Hey!" during the 2112 Overture (at the appropriate times, of course) 115. All the goofy on-stage props...dryers, refrigerators, Barbie "fans", dinosaurs, bobbleheads, rotisserie chickens, etc etc 116. The 2112/Xanadu/Working Man medley from the R30 tour...the best 20 minutes of live rock ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBillShow Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 130. Jacob's Ladder 131. The very first time I went to New York City, it was just like the first verse of The Camera Eye. 132.

PW_Guitarist Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 136: It would be easy to come up with 2112 reasons just by listening to their music and considering all their accomplishments as musicians and as human beings, but one thing struck me as I sat spellbound last Saturday in section 155, row A, seat 11 of the Bell Centre: their music will always stand for integrity and great achievement, regardless of what sad direction the world (or, on a smaller scale, the music industry) is going into.

rnrgal Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 149. Loyalty, both ways-the fans to them and them to the fans how many people besides Rush fans have the same favorite band for years and even decades? (they are #1 to me for more than 25 years) 150. Their greatness being recognized by the people who count, their fans. (guess that tells you wehre i stand in the HOF debate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
