Looking at this pic, there is a strange, ghostly face - almost like the ghost of George Harrison looking on, but this was 1978

 

creepy

Wait. SO That is Rush?

 

Yes

 

Definitely Alex

 

Not sure if that is Geddy on the left w/ the bass

 

The guy in the mask looks to heavy for Neil circa 1978

 

Absolutely Rush ... Hammersmith Odeon, May 4th, 1978 ... probably a soundcheck or something ..... Fake guitars like that were used as props by headbanger fans

It makes me happy to know that Alex has always been a goofball.

 

And yeah, I guess those are fake guitars - look at the wobbly neck on Alex's!

Yes, this is Alex

 

May 4th 1978

I think the date is 1979, and Rush was touring with Max Webster. The only problem appears the white Rick 4001. I don;t think Geddy nor the bassist for MW played one.....

 

Interesting name on the guitar as well... "Lars M" Alex's alter-ego? :D

I didn't know cousin Oliver was a Rush fan

I've posted this one before, but I'm doing it again because I need some help from our friends in Canada ... Apparently this guy with the glasses is Ronny Legg ..

 

I wanna know who the heck Ronny Legg is ...

 

This photo, btw, was taken at Rutsey's last ever show - July 25, 1974 at Centennial Hall in London, Ontario

That's what I always think when I see this pic. He looks like he's about to pass out.

I used to work in a library and help with reference so the Ronny Legg thing made me wonder. Here's what I could find - the guy with the glasses is actually promoter Nick Panaseiko, he is in several photos from that time period. Ronny Legg is the bald gentleman. Someone just sold a copy of the photo on eBay in June; you can tell they didn't know anything about Rush since they call Terry Brown a friend of the promoter. They are saying the man on the far left is Terry. I'm not that sure ? but the bottle does cover half of his face. They identify Ronnie Legg as a Radio DJ. RushIsABand talked about the photo back in 2010 and they make reference to Ronny Legg being a musician that shared the bill with Rush that night, but in looking at a link they provided, it also identifies Ronny as a CJOM FM DJ. Geez, I gotta get an additional hobby :D :D

 

From eBay listing- "This is an EXTREMELY RARE original photo print from July 25, 1974. Rush opened for Kiss at Centennial Hall in London, Ontario (Canada). This was the final show with drummer John Rutsey!

The photo shows from left to right, Terry Brown, assisted the band with load in for the evening. (Friend of the promoter). John Rutsey, Geddy Lee, Ronnie Legg (Radio DJ), Alex Lifeson & Nick Panisakio (Canadian Promotor that landed Rush as the opening act for Kiss!

Don't miss this chance to own a real piece of Rush history! " It was 10" X 12" and sold for $ 274.98.

 

From RIAB- "http://www.rushisaband.com/images/201001/1442.t.jpgRushFanForever noted that according to the Power Windows tour archive Rush played one show with Ronny Legg on July 25, 1974 at Centennial Hall in London, Ontario opening for KISS."
