Digital Dad Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Yes but pretty biased. Im not sure if were looking at typical reviews or fan reviews but fan reviews or blogs have an instant pro band slant. Not that I mind of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Dad Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Can't believe there's not one review from Austin online...AUSTIN!!!

From the background it looks like The Wreckers. I seem to recall that he brought it out for another song as well, something from one of the very early albums.

Lorraine Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 It was a testament to how a strong fan base can keep a band like this still vital and worthwhile after 40 years. Not many bands can claim to have that kind of pull with an audience these days, but Rush is no ordinary act. The "why" of this is something I would like to delve into. It would make a good thread discussion. I've often wondered myself just what it is about Rush that attracts the kind of fans they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make a good thread discussion. I've often wondered myself just what it is about Rush that attracts the kind of fans they do. Agree. Since first seeing them in 1983 they truly have been the soundtrack to my life. When life has gone through rough patches it's been their music that has been my rock. I've wondered if their music/lyrics/philosophy have been an uncanny alignment to my worldview, or, whether they have served to help shape and form who I am today (given that I discovered them at the impressionable age of 14). But the "why" is the key question. I love music, but Rush holds a singular place for me, almost spiritual in nature. Why? I'm not sure I will ever know. But I would be interested in hearing other fans' stories. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's complex...smart & goofy at the same time...sometimes perfect, sometimes flawed...but wherever a song falls in these descriptions, it always seems to come from the right place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Important: Please do NOT paste entire articles into your posts. Just the headline and a link to the original article is all we're allowed to do. One of the newspapers contacted us and asked that their review be removed from the board. That's a legit complaint -- pasting the entire article here takes valuable web traffic away from their site. We gain nothing by taking that from them. Tombstone and antiquark were the only two pasting articles. Everyone else has been posting links. In fairness, we haven't put up a notice about not pasting articles till now, but kudos to the rest of you for somehow knowing not to do that (or for being too lazy to copy and paste all that text). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombstone Mountain Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 http://www.chron.com/entertainment/article/Rush-turns-40-at-the-Toyota-Center-6276734.php My favorite line:There's a joke about the line for the ladies room at a Rush show being almost non-existent. Every joke has a bit of truth to it. It was decidedly a male-oriented crowd. The first set of the night kicked off with material from the trio's most recent album "Clockwork Angels" from 2012 and worked back to "Subdivisions" from the "Signals" LP, released in 1982.

x1yyz Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 http://www.chron.com...ter-6276734.php Wow, that was a poorly-written article. My favorite line:There's a joke about the line for the ladies room at a Rush show being almost non-existent. Every joke has a bit of truth to it. It was decidedly a male-oriented crowd. The first set of the night kicked off with material from the trio's most recent album "Clockwork Angels" from 2012 and worked back to "Subdivisions" from the "Signals" LP, released in 1982. That's the nice thing about being a female at a Rush show :D Although there do seem to be quite a number of girls there nowadays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
