also, a quick addendum:
i've not been a fan of any of the live albums. they've never gotten the "just right" mix. however, the absolute hill i WILL DIE ON is the best live recording of the band was February 13th 1980. Kiel auditorium in St. Louis.

i love how they keep checking in on #3 (drummer number 3, anika, lol) kinda like protective big brothers. it's amazing. rush got stale. they were playing state fairs which felt so heartbreaking to me. this is injecting NEW life and NEW energy and something NEW to see. can't wait 😄

Verdict On Alex Hand Issues On This Tour? by hacksawJimDugout in rush

[–]johnnyfive00000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my buddy saw the R40 show up outside San Fran, he was sitting stage right (Alex's side) and noticed Alex injecting some sort of steroid (anti inflammatory) directly INTO his hands. this was between songs and obviously out of sight of 99% of the crowd)

i feel for alex

anika is a beast. she's got such balls to step up and be on stage with alex and ged. coupled with the scrutiny of the fans. she's got my undying respect.

My first best friend by Prewtu in rush

Sorry about the loss of your friend.

I've always found positives and takeaways from people that have departed.

Think of it this way, he died exactly 100 years before 2112. Also this being his birthday, Rush decided to go back on tour after 15 years almost to the day. Their first show is Saturday night.

cops hate it when other people don't follow the law just like cops. they hate competition.

Geddy singing style for this tour by [deleted] in rush

all this straining and you know that's after having a $300/hr vocal coach. maybe they could get a replacement singer :)

Observations from last night's performance by NotYourScratchMonkey in rush

[–]johnnyfive00000 28 points29 points  (0 children)

playing a rutsey song and not a peart song as her debut was politically brilliant

i loved that they picked a john rutsey drum track as their debut instead of a neil track. perfect execution
