fraroc Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) The transition from pre-chorus to chorus for Witch Hunt is literally a musical orgasm. The GUP live performance is the best live performance of Rush and Geddy's voice was at it's peak around that time period. 80s was the best decade for Rush because of the willingness they had to experiment. Even traversing into Duran Duran, A Flock Of Seagulls, and Frankie Goes To Hollywood territory to write songs that could be played in a dance club, yet still be powerful musically. Even Alex's talents were well showcased with pretty against the grain chord patterns and solos. Edited October 3, 2015 by fraroc 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narps Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) I've seen most say that his peak was the 80s.Then they would be wrong. An unpopular opinion would be that it is better or as good as ever the past dozen years or so... :) Edited October 3, 2015 by Narps 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabesCavesOfIce Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) Ged n Al follow in the Grateful Dead footsteps and form many many successful post TOURING iterations of Rush after a legendary band member is no longer able/willing to participate...
