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!

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.

(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: :heart: :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?

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.

Isn't it?

 

Got a good laugh out of the popcorn buckets filled with beer for $10 though. :LOL:

Cool... What's the story behind this one?

Looks like Amok-Neil, trying to kill a few fans, by firing his t-shirt gun... :smoke:

 

Actually, someone said 'gun'...

 

To bad Neil is too quick for his own good....caught in the act... :D

 

Too bad there aren't more of these....
