Rush fans complaining about Neil's drum solo kind of cracks me up...

if you dont like the drum solo then go take a piss or grab a beer. a majority of us love the drum solo. it wouldnt be a RUSH concert without it.

Beer breaks and Piss breaks are for the S&A songs

Nobody is saying they don't like a drum solo , i love a good one

People are just tired of the big band / electric thing he has done to death

Lighten up

Ok headgear. I will say this. I will say it only once. If you wear headgear. Please wear it STRAIGHT on your head. Every time...every time..... I see Neil...its on crooked. Like looking at some goofy prep cook behind the DWs..... that would be a big solution to what is known as the headgear problem.

Maybe a beret? Or a touk? However you spell it. I put the u in cause touks are Canadian.

I found the Red Lenses solo-break I was talking about, which is what made me think Headlong has a great spot for it in the middle:

 

Bewarned: if you don't like the electronic drums, this is where it all began.

 

Great friggin' solo. Seven days after this concert, I saw them in Indy. I was front row, right in front of Alex. As soon as Neil goes into the solo part of RL, big black guy doing security slowly turns his head around to take a look at wtf.

 

At the conclusion, Alex reemerges lipping along with Geddy, "...barometer starts to fall..." and starts the 3 and 4 note sequence on his pedals before he rejoins with the guitar. It was an absolutely magnificent way to frame the Prof's Masterbatterie.

 

There's another vid of one a few weeks earlier, but the sound and image blow out loud (and not in a good way).

Fuuck the drum solo, we know he can play, let's have an extra song or two instead...

Honestly, I would not be opposed to this at all.

 

Plenty of great tunes I'd rather hear over the drum solo.

If it meant ALL of Natural Science or Cygnus X-1 and/or By-Tor, then I'd be with you on that.

Great stuff! Thanks for posting.

 

Love the song and Neil's electronic drums.

Yeah, but doesn't even have to be those two.   I'd replace an 8-minute drum solo with a combo of 'Cut To The Chase' and 'Something For Nothing'.   Easily.

blurry cam... very bad lighting.. but still cool as hell to have something representing the '84 tour

[Snaked]

Personally I love the drum solos but here is something to chew on.

 

 

Do you remember your first RUSH show?

Remember the first time you saw Neil solo?

I'd venture to bet you looked at the person next to you at some point and went "WOW!". You might've even known it was coming.. but still, the first time seeing it live for yourself... it was pretty cool, eh?

 

 

Now think about the person at each show who is there for the first time.

They've never seen RUSH before.

Maybe they've heard stories about 10 minute drum solos or maybe they have no clue whats coming and now consider for a moment how unfair it would be to that person not to have that "WOW!" moment.

 

We've all had that moment... it's part of being a RUSH fan.
