Jag2112 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 There was a nice two-page article/interview with Alex Lifeson that appeared in the July 2012 issue of Power Play Magazine.

lifeson90 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 "..... there have been many amazing things that happened to this band, but probably the one outstanding moment," he offers, "was after Neil's double tragedy ... The first show on the "Vapour Trails" tour was in Hartford, Connecticut. Ged and I walked over to the drum kit and leaned in, past Neil's hardware, looked at Neil and we smiled at each other and we all shared this moment when we couldn't believe that we were here again after that long, dark journey. It connected us in such a powerful way. We were all teary at that point. That was a pretty momentous moment. I can still picture it to this day."

Bangster of Goats Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Well, at least he didn't mention playing Jacob's Ladder on the upcoming tour. I love Big Al, I really do, but when he starts talking tour plans I take everything he says with a gigantic grain of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had tears in me eyes that entire song cause i was so happy they made it through such a ruff patch of life. plus it was along time since i had seen them live. loved that tour. heck loved them all. looking forward to seeing them in a few months.
