I saw them a few times way back when.

My favorite albums were 2112, A Farewell to Kings, and Hemispheres.

Seemed like their style started changing after that and I was liking them less and less.

The other day, a part of 2112 came on the radio and I cranked it loud and sat in the driveway.

I could almost smell the sweet fragrance of Columbian gold.

I saw Rush last year and they were great. They tried to push some of their new songs...they were meh. They did all their classics/hits but they played for like 3 hours. They didn't play Closer to the Heart, wasn't happy bout that but what am I gonna do. Still a great concert.

We've been smoking Lebanon.

We've burned the midnight oil.

The fragrance of Afghanistan rewards a long day's toil.

My first Rush show was Seattle Colliseum during the Permanent Waves tour, March 19, 1980.

Absolutely magnificent!

Saw them next for the Moving Pictures tour, same venue.  June 18, 1981.  Mind blowing stuff.  The skunk weed just iced the cake.

Have seen them a dozen times since.  Three of the greatest musicians of my era.

Providence Civic Center for me back in '80....

Anyone that questions these artist's work ethic OR dedication to the fans needs to take a peek at just how often they play to their audience.  Take a peek at their touring schedule over the years...

I wanted to see them this year, but I have heard Moving Pictures ad nauseum throughout the years.    I'd rather hear them play tunes likes In The End (their best tune IMO), 2112 (all the way through like in 2000), The Trees, The Fountain of Lamneth, Marathon and others never play anymore.     Gimme the obscure stuff for a change.   

But out of all of their stuff, Moving Pictures is last on the list.

Never was a big fan of Rush,guess seeing them onstage at my high school sort of put me off all their success.

  I actually saw them twice at 2 different local schools,this was before Neil was on drums,Neil played for another high school band called Fludd at the time,ya saw them too......... :old:

I read the statement in a magazine a few years ago. But for the life of me I cannot remember what magazine it was. I personally believe that Rush deserves to be in the Hall of Fame as much as any rock legend already in it.

They will probably gain entry in 2112.

It doesn't matter.   Aside from ZZTop, they have had the longest unchanged lineup.

1st time I saw was on the Counterparts Tour.    I still prefer the Fly By Night-ish stuff.   By-Tor, In The End, those songs are just excellent and thank God the radio never got a hold of them.
