blueschica Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Thanks for posting these! :) I can't take much of the credit; I ran across a Facebook group called Canadian classic rock. Lots of photos of the Guess Who and Joni Mitchell but it did have those two Rush ones. I loved the one of the old theater as well! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tks95747 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Fans line up outside the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago before a performance by Canadian band Rush and opening act Max Webster during their All The World's a Stage tour.photo courtesy of Fin Costello/Redferns/gettyimages(May 20th, 1977). (Ohh, those old ballrooms and theaters that were around as venues back in the day! They were run down but fun! :heart: ) I agree - those old buildings were old but they were fun. And look at that ornate trimming around the windows - that's what I love about old buildings - they were built to be pleasing to the eye most of the time. I wonder if it is still there? Wikipedia... Saw another photo taken in 2018 ...It's still there 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw another photo taken in 2018 ...It's still there It's a beauty! I love old buildings! :) Thanks!!Wow. I have seen a bunch of shows at the Aragon Ballroom (or "Aragon Brawlroom," as we used to call it). Never saw Rush there, unfortunately, but I did see Rush at (at least) six other Chicago-area places (Rosemont Horizon, Tinley Park, United Center, Chicago Stadium, Northerly Island, and (first and still favorite, but now demolished) the International Amphitheater (or "International Empty-theater," another favorite nickname), a joint built on the south side and primarily first used for auctioning cattle). Back to the Argon, I saw Motorhead there just after the (now deceased) Fast Eddie Clarke left the band and was replaced by Brian Robertson (concert date May 22, 1982, if my Google machine is correct). The show was so loud that I temporarily lost my hearing for about ten minutes, and went outside to recover a bit. As I recall, Robertson was incredibly shaky on the solos, often turning his back to the audience so we couldn't see his ineptitude. Lemmy got pissed at the abuse being heaped on Robertson and challenged some front row folks to fight on stage, which they declined. I also recall the Aragon sold big popcorn buckets filled with beer for $10. Funny the things you remember in your dotage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
