If you have Diffrent Stages, this is one of my front row pictures when they recorded that Live CD in Chicago. I won the tickets by winning a Rush trivia contest on the radio.
BTW, I was "Snowdog" if ya want to ask HTC for that name back. :0)
Cheers,
Creamo

I was going to make my handle "King Lerxst", but I didn't think that anyone would understand.
Nice pic by the way!

i will make sure ByTor gets to this post.
He will be highly interested along with Lerxst and Cygnus.
Don't think the guys spend to much time in the OT BB. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Was just listening to a rock station today and heard 'limelight'. Haven't heard thet tune in forever. Boy did it bring back memories of being a teenager and shenanigans (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif). I might just have to go buy that CD. BTW, which CD is limelight on? Is there a Greatest Hits CD out?
thanx,

Limelght was from "Moving Pictures" which BTW is a solid CD all the way through. Side one may be the best 1 side I can think of.
If you want to get Limelight for a quick listen, Napster has it for download.
I recommend the "Chronicles" double CD set for a good all round Rush listen.

Creamo,
Don't tell Ripsnort, but I'm going to have to agree with everything you just said (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/eek.gif) I listen to Moving Pictures at least 2 or 3 times a week at work (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) AND it's in the cassette deck in my car (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
RUSH! The great rock band PERIOD

Does he have that in realplayer creamo? good quality? I'd like to give it a listen. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Hblair, I think I might have confused you.
Napster.com is a websight.
Download the software, and then you can search for a song, in this case type "Rush". It will find other peoples HD's with the tune, and you get a MP3 of it.
A MP3 is pretty new to me, they are usually 3-4 meg but sound great, are free, and ya have em on the HD to just cue up if ya want.
(This is someone elses area of expertise. I don't know much about it, except it's free and pretty cool.)
Ironically, today I received 6 Rush CD's in the snail mail from a Ebay buy for $14. (Thats Ebay.com!)That's a good way to stock up on the old CD I keep losing, cracking, and wearing out. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
If ya have problems with Napster (like Metallica sueing you) just ask for advise, I bet alot of guys here know all about it.

Oh yeah...
Rush Back In The Studio
Progressive-rock trio working on material for 17th studio album.
Five years after the release of 1996's Test for Echo, Rush are in Toronto developing songs for what will be the Canadian progressive-rock trio's 17th studio album.
"It's very early days in the process, but it's nice to be back in touch with each other," bassist/vocalist Geddy Lee said in a statement about studio rehearsals for the as-yet-untitled album, which does not yet have a release date.
"It's been almost five years since we've done any writing together, and there's a bit of feeling each other out that needs to happen — we've all been in such different head spaces, it's going to take some time for us to communicate musically," he continued. "I think you have to start to communicate as people first, and the music comes as an extension of those good feelings."
"We've all been in such different head spaces, it's going to take some time for us to communicate musically." — Rush's Geddy Lee
Late last year Lee released his first solo album, the very Rush-esque My Favorite Headache , which debuted at #52 on the Billboard 200 and fell off the albums chart three weeks later. He'll continue limited promotional efforts for Headache while conceiving the new Rush record with guitarist Alex Lifeson and drummer Neil Peart.
creamo editor note- My favorite Headache sucked Ged, come on.
Between the release of Test for Echo and 1998's live album Different Stages, Peart lost his daughter, Selena, to an auto accident, and his wife, Jackie, to cancer. Different Stages was dedicated to the two.

Another bloody good damned list!
Saw Yes *In the Round* at the Colliseum way back in 78 for the Tormato Tour!

why are they calling them that "progressive-rock" - yuk - makes them sound like 'yes' or something equally neutered - rush kicks with fury - or at least used to....
"...and the trees were made equal.....with hatchet.....and.....and saw!....."

Yessir Mr.Guppy, they in fact do "kick" but since they incorporate "thinking mans" lyrics,odd time signatures, and use of more uncommon arrangments and chord voicings, it cant be called just rock. So I guess progressive is good as anything. And no, Ive never bought a Yes lp, matter fact, only hear like 3 or 4 songs from them. yuk- Oh well.
Unlike alot of the fans of their earlier music, I enjoyed each new lp they did, right up to Test For Echo. (I could have done without Presto, but it had a few good moments.) Little known songs like Digital Man from Signals, or Red Lenses from Grace Under Pressure were just as cool in their own right as the radio hits like Tom Sayer or the Sprirt of Radio, or classics like 2112.
Still, I hope this next lp has a good edge to it, and is a fresh direction.
If not, you still got Red Barchetta and Hemispheres to pound the steering wheel to making that commute so much easier.
