Todem Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) Been a fan since 1981 (11 years old). Now 45. 34 years. Moving Pictures was my first Rush album. And like you after I saw them for the first time on the Signals Tour it's nothing but a grand journey since. I love Signals, Grace Under Pressure, Power Windows and Hold Your Fire as much as any album before it too. The mid 80's were glorious for the band and their fans. :cheers: Edited December 5, 2015 by Todem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Who has been a fan the longest here on TRF? So far we have Eagle at #1 with 39 years. Who here has her beat? I'm sure there are some. Maybe Mr. JD or someone like that. I think you are right about Mr. JD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) Good post Scooch For me . . . let's see ... counting on fingers ... 2015-1977 = 38 oh shit, that's a long time I saw 'em on Don Kirschner in '77 at the age of 9 or 10 ... Loved Geddy's voice immediately, and the fact that they had this odd vibe about them - totally unique, and I loved that as a kid I first saw them live May 1980, and it was an experience that feels as strong now as it did back then . .

x1yyz Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 The longest-term fan here is Citizen of the World. He's been a fan since 1974 and has seen every tour since the first. Conversation over. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to keep it positive, but now that you mention it - I was bummed. I assumed since it was on the album, of course it would be on the video...
