I love all of Geddy's BWAAH! I'M SO GLAD TO BE HERE faces at the beginning there! :LOL:

 

I always thought that beginning was appropriate for a bunch of monkeys hitting things. :LOL:

It still surprises me when you say you like SA's. I do remember how you hated it for the longest time.

Alex saved that album for me. If it wasn't for his guitar on many of those songs, I would never have liked it.

Interesting. That surprises me too.

Looking back at my posts, I can't help but cringe. I mean, they were perfectly reasonable posts, but I can't help but look back at anything I've ever done and cringe a bit.

 

I tend to look back at everything I've done or said and cringe a bit, but strangely, I don't feel that way on this forum. The other day I was looking back at some of my old posts, and I should probably be embarrassed to admit how much I enjoyed a lot of them. Especially the ones that combined rational, realistic fandom with gushing! I used to gush around here quite a lot, really :LOL:

Oh well, what can we be expected to do with such good inspiration? The guys and the wonderful music and the memories everyone has of the songs through the years . . . . .:)

This is so cool, but I wish they'd done a real cover of the whole song! Alex's take on that riff is smokin', and I'd love to hear Geddy sing it.

Wow, I could watch this all day long. Alex's playing is great, and he looks really good here! Gush, gush . . . . .

 

They make me happy :yes:

 

This was that concert that was just a one-off, isn't it? They weren't on tour. Seems like I remember Geddy saying a bit about it in an interview.

 

Yeah, the SARS benefit concert in Toronto in 2003. Here's a video of their whole set from that gig:

Thank you GM !! I have really enjoyed watching the concert tonight! I had a (small) chance to go and, go figure sadly was not able to. Was in Montreal the day before but it didn't work out. Loved Montreal though!

That SARS show I believe. They played it cause The Stones were there.

 

Right, and that's when Neil met Charlie Watts.

Very cool! Thanks for posting these! It's fun to see the photos after reading about it in Neil's book (I forget which one), about how he didn't recognize Charlie Watts at first and thought it was someone who would be bothering him and suddenly the recognition clicked in and Neil got all excited. The photos catch it perfectly!

I could gush over Rush all day! Hemispheres is gorgeous 70s prog at it's finest, Permanent Waves is a songwriting masterpiece, Clockwork Angels is pure Rushy goodness, the gushing would never end! :D I wish them all the best in their retirement/solo projects.

Here we go, GM! I don't think they ever did this in concert. I tried to find one.

 

 

I have that box set!

 

I really enjoy Snakes and Arrows now. This is a good song!!
