what a 'Rush!'

…so…
I went to the Rush concert last night, and it was fracking fantastic.
As a bass player I’ve always admired Geddy Lee, so I wasn’t going to pass up this opportunity.
I didn’t take my camera (but from row 14, what kind of shots would ya expect, eh?), but the Salt Lake Tribune did.
These photos come via the Trib:

Wow! Are they ever old looking! :astonished: Did they play Take Off to the Great White North? :smiley:

“Beauty, eh?”

I’ve been a major Rush fan since the late 70’s/early 80’s. Moving Pictures is definitely in my top 5 albums of all time.

I was sorry to hear that Neil Peart lost both his daughter and wife in a short period a few years ago, that’s why there was a large gap in their records.

Can Geddy still hit the high notes in 2112? :slight_smile:

Geddy still hits the high register fairly well.
check out the r30 concert DVD if you haven’t already; that’s some cool stuff right there.

Dude, so are you! :stuck_out_tongue:

it’s great to see these guys with so much fire and energy.

Here’s my current favorite bit of Geezer Rock

Yes “Awaken”
Jon Anderson looks so blissed out. (fast foreward about 1/3 of the way in, if the harp stuff doesn’t do anything for you :wink:)

I hit the big 5-0 in a couple of weeks. These guys make me realize I could be living so much more intensely than I do. :boggle:

Geezer Rock

:laughing: :laughing: Love that term…but I’d call your link more like “mid-life crisis” rock…y’all ain’t quiet geezers just yet… :stuck_out_tongue:

(sorry Tyler, back to your admiring thread…)

The Trib finally got around to publishing a review of the concert.

Ooooh, they’re coming here next week, but it’s at an outdoor pavilion. In Houston. In August.

Decisions, decisions.

Dude, you totally have to brave the heat.
The show is well worth it!
