toymaker Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Love this clip of Lifeson in the studio. He puts his whole body (and heart) into his playing. What it must be like to have him come in and add his inimitable style to your song... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you talking about 'in their prime?' Rush has always been in their prime. Ok, is that too much gushing 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had only known... It has got to be one of the truest old sayings that youth is definitely wasted on the young. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil1972 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) I'd like to gush a little over the Grace under Pressure DVD... Watched it again recently and while it probably represents one of the worst fashion disasters ever caught on tape for the band, the sound and playing and everything is just stellar. I think of all the live versions of "Tom Sawyer" I have heard/seen, this one is my favorite. Plus it has the Fear Trilogy! Just a great all around show and its a shame the whole thing hasn't been released. Edited June 23, 2016 by Wil1972 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could only have three tour dvds, I'd choose ESL, Rio, and this one. I'll go watch Tom Sawyer now! Still love the song so much. :wub: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share Posted June 23, 2016 I could cry watching that. You rarely saw Alex like that again after that tour. In the mid-nineties, he seemed to get a burst of renewed energy, but that was it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ged sounds great and even Neil seems to be enjoying himself. And it shows too that there were, in fact, females at Rush shows before Rio. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you reminded me because that's the other thing about that tour. It's the last time you ever seen Neil looking like that. After that, his face started to look angry and bitter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you talking about 'in their prime?' Rush has always been in their prime. Ok, is that too much gushing I have to say I agree with this. Taste aside, every decade Rush has proven to thrive and I know of no other band to have nineteen albums, each with a rabid following within the fan base after forty years. I could whinge about, say, Signals, Counterparts or Clockwork Angels but each album has a lot of love! Like...whatever album I call underrated is easily justifiably overrated to someone else. It's a down to taste because overall the quality has always been extremely high! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I would like to generally just thank Rush overall for making me the musician I am today. I doubt I would have kept playing all these years if it hadn't been for them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
