Jon Hein is a big Rush fan. Makes me like them less.

Can not wait till this hits the US!

I liked early Rush as a teen and had that triple LP Archives with the first three albums. Then they wanted to become Yes so I lost interest.

I figured they would have put out a 40th anniversary set for this but nothing yet

anybody else a SAGA fan?

Absolutely, hoping they tour the US at some point. They have so much stuff, most of it excellent. Even the most recent "re-recorded" batch of songs.

 

[Diddlybo]

anybody else a SAGA fan?

Yes. Great song. I used to use the middle section to this tune as a picking exercise on guitar.

A place by me has a dozen or so new/high end pinball machines, including the Iron Maiden one, & attracts tons of enthusiasts. I would imagine they are getting the Rush one as well. It looks cool.

When was your last RUSH concert?

My last was their last. I and a group of friends attended their final concert performance which happened to be at the Fabulous Forum in L.A.

The interesting thing was though that nobody knew at the time they’d never perform again. There were little rumors floating about that they might be cutting back on the size of their future tours, or would perhaps begin focusing more on festivals and single show appearances. But I don’t know any Rush fans who thought we’d never see them play again.

And to be honest, I really don’t think they had any idea it would be their last show ever. There was certainly nothing said during the concert to convey any sense of that sort of finality. It was a great show - as were all of their concerts that I attended - but it didn’t in any way seem like they intended it to be their last live performance.

Oh noes, it looks like @Milky Sausage has put me on ignore.

The band knew, they cover it in Time Stand Still.

When was your last RUSH concert?

I saw them on that MP 30th Anniversary tour at MSG in 2011 and again in 2015 in NJ (last time). I also saw them a bunch of times in the 80s and 90s, including my first time at Radio City in '83.

Yeah i do love Rush but they're definitely not the best prog imho

Yes and King Crimson essentially wrote the bible on prog....in my opinion
