Then I would definitely check out anything up to Moving Pictures.

Just got thru listening to the debut Rush cd and it rocks. The tracks 'Finding my way' and 'Here Again' are songs that I had not heard before.

In case you have not heard before 'Different Stages' 3 cd set of live material is great.

Now if I could just find a player, I'd have a reason to buy them.

I haven't seen one of those since the mid 80s!

As you may have read in the FB group already, yesterday marked the first time I've ever heard a Rush album in full - I listened to Clockwork Angels. I did like it, and today I've had trouble getting the choruses of Caravan and The Wreckers out of my head! I was recommended 2112 and Moving Pictures, so I'll probably pick them up the next time I order something from a record store.

Saw it - like Ruba, I also recommend Permanent Waves.

Anthrax's cover of Anthem: https://www1.rollingstone.com/hearitnow/player/anthrax1.html

It's pretty great.

Orbert · « **Reply #565 on:** January 18, 2013, 09:17:35 PM »

Wow, I've never heard that before. Faithful to the original, but with a bit of the band's own personality showing through.

theseoafs · « **Reply #566 on:** January 19, 2013, 07:19:04 AM »

Not bad. Anybody else get the impression that the drummer was a bit sloppy, or was that just me?

Well, to be fair, we are comparing him to Neal, so there's that.

Orbert · « **Reply #568 on:** January 19, 2013, 09:06:52 AM »

Yeah, the guitars were pretty good, the vocalist can't exactly change his voice, and the bass was even pretty good as far as capturing the original feel. That left the drums kinda sticking out as the weakest in the cover department. Not a lot of energy or flair. True, compared to Neal, most drummers will come up short, but the drums really kill in the original, and the cover was weak.

jjrock88 · « **Reply #569 on:** January 19, 2013, 04:06:18 PM »

Yeah I thought it was surprisingly weak too. Joey seems a little off on that one. Maybe the song wasn't the best of a match for them.

Orbert · « **Reply #570 on:** January 19, 2013, 08:38:09 PM »

I should have been more clear. Overall, the cover was fine. I meant that the cover drumming was weak.

It's Anthrax we're talking about. I don't dislike them, but they've always been sloppy.

So is this where I admit I have a laserdisc player and all five Rush laserdiscs?

US tour dates in April/May posted at rush.com

The Letter M · « **Reply #575 on:** January 22, 2013, 08:13:41 AM »

A show in Baltimore!!!

Definitely going to do my best to get tix and see them this time. I've missed my chance to see them on every tour since R30 and now I won't make that mistake again.

im hoping theres more over the summer, would be great to see them in norcal again with my dad, since he took me to my first rush show two years ago

skydivingninja · « **Reply #577 on:** January 22, 2013, 12:10:58 PM »

I reeeeeeeeeeeally want to go to the Raleigh show but I'm not sure I can afford it just yet. I will probably settle for cheaper seats. Long as I see Rush this tour.

Yes, after the short tour across the pond they will have a summer tour.

fadetoblackdude7 · « **Reply #579 on:** January 22, 2013, 03:07:58 PM »

I really hope they hit Chicago again and I especially hope they don't change that setlist......I missed the show last fall and I gotta witness that set for myself!

The Letter M · « **Reply #580 on:** January 23, 2013, 01:59:40 PM »

So, months ago, I was compiling a comprehensive live-album series that covered every major Rush tour from their debut album to now, by selecting the best sounding and most complete bootlegs for each tour that didn't get a major official live release.

I was wondering, as an outlet for me to discuss my project, if anyone would be interested in a Rush Tour History thread that discusses each tour (for about a week or so), set lists and song choices, specific performances, personal experiences (for those who have been lucky enough to see them past and present), and key bootleg shows (among the ones I discuss as part of my Complete Live Shows series).

King Postwhore · « **Reply #581 on:** January 23, 2013, 02:02:32 PM »

Marc, great idea. I would love to give you my thoughts on the shows I've seen since the GUP tour. I'm in.

Big Hath · « **Reply #582 on:** January 23, 2013, 02:12:28 PM »

Nice!

If there's at least a few more people who are interested and willing to generate discussion about Rush tours/shows/set lists, I'll start it up tonight with the debut album's tour.

PM me your email addy and I'll get you pics that prove I'm only about a third dirty fibber, liar liar, pants on fire.

Thought I had both Exit... Stage Left and Through The Camera Eye on Laser Disc (I've got the videos but that doesn't count)

I still think I do, but I can't find them. Have the rest.

I did find Yessongs on 8 track in my search though.

Nick · « **Reply #587 on:** January 24, 2013, 09:31:40 PM »

Yet another Rush reference on Archer tonight. Seeing two of my favorite things come together like that is amazing every time.

Cedar redaC · « **Reply #588 on:** January 24, 2013, 09:46:03 PM »

It looks like Rush will be inducted into the hall of fame by Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins.

It's okay, I believe you. I just wanted to see the pics.

So Rush have announced that they'll be coming to Halifax this summer!
To put it in perspective, this will literally be the first time in my lifetime that they'll be playing here, and the fourth time ever. Needless to say, I'm pretty excited.

1987, so I'm assuming it was the Hold Your Fire tour.
Either way, it has been way too long.

If I'm not mistaken, it took a petition to get them there the last time. I've always thought it was cool that they responded to it.
