Empty Mindless Spectre Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I'm having to take a really good squint at it, but I'm sure it's the date you've mentioned. At this point I would bet that it says “ENERGIZED ROCK”. I know that I’ve seen a clear version of this picture before but I just couldn’t remember what it said. “ENERGIZED ROCK” rang a huge bell for me. I've always said caress of steel is the perfect description of Rush's music, but energized rock isn't bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apetersvt Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Here it is captured slightly earlier in the video. Better focus, I think... http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg293/goose_trf/4a401468-14c6-451e-92c6-6f2b9e017646_zpsfzew6j1s.jpg A black and white of this photo is on page 11 of Visions (which used archive photos from the Geddy Lee family) and the caption says it's from the "first tour." Energized Rock was a slogan they used back then for the band so that makes sense to me. The only times I've ever seen this photo is in Visions and in the doc. Was thinking this photo was in Visions. Was going to look it up myself but I see that you have confirmed that. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMCXII Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I've wondered this too and came to the conclusion that Geddy found a shirt somewhere that happened to say "Rush" on it.. it's a bit of a common word/ company name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Douglas Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 This is probably a reference to the inhalant Rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one place I saw it, I think I've seen in in a few other places too. Adverts maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
