Great documentary. But I don’t recall seeing anything in it stating that they knew with a certainty two years earlier that the show in L.A. would be their last time ever playing together.

I have no doubt they pretty well set in never doing another full blown 250 date mega tour. But they still seemed open at the time to the possibility of doing a one off show or making an appearance at a festival every now and again.

Yeah of course you’re right. They would’ve had no reason to do that.
I remember in that doc Neil being very clear that he didn’t want to tour anymore but then “the fucking guitar player” convinced him to do that last one. :jj:

It’s such a shame we don’t have more HD quality recordings of their early live performances.

Indeed. Even the early/mid 80’s. I saw them around 30x between ‘82-‘90. My favorite shows were a run of 5 in a row at Radio City in Sept ‘83. I went to 3, never been able to find decent video of any of them.

Yeah, there’s only audio of those shows

The first record, lyrically, is not strong. However, it's Rush, so it's great.
Any Envy of None fans?

With only a moment between
Forever dwells in that moment

HBD to T4E 9/10/96. The last record of my fave Rush period (Signals -> T4E). Rush wouldn't release a new record until '01's Vapor Trails. Where would the music have went if not for the unfortunate events concerning Neil's wife & daughter?

Forty years ago this week RUSH releases their eighth studio album - Moving Pictures. The last time I saw RUSH was at the Minnesota State Fair in 2010, They played Moving Pictures in its entirety.




When was your last RUSH concert?

September 18th 1982. The Signals Tour. I met Geddy and Alex the night before in a bar. They graciously autographed my beer napkin. Which I still have.

I know a lot of hardcore fans dismiss the synth stuff, but Signals -> Test for Echo are my faaaavorite. While I love prog songs, the shorter length stuff always appealed more to me. Same with King Crimson (Discipline, Beat, TOAPP) & Yes (90125 -> Talk)
