Rush v. Dirk, Pratt, & Lerxst

[The Letter M]

So I recently put together an EP of Neil-related pieces on my phone, titled it Pieces Of Peart, and it features:

01. Pieces Of Eight (1987) 4:57
02. Cotton Tail (1994) 4:36
03. Momo's Dance Party (1996) 3:45
04. One O'Clock Jump (1997) 7:46
05. Fire On Ice (2010) 1:01

Did I miss anything vital or important? I thought about putting the drums-only version of "The Main Monkey Business" on there as well.

Obviously these are pieces where Neil was the main writer/arranger or the most well-known guest performer (in the case of the Burning For Buddy tributes, of which he also used those two songs to end drum solos).

How about the 2 songs he played on Jeff Berlin's album?

Maribi

Also his work with Vertical Horizon and Rheostatics....

Think I've seen this before, but where?

That's amazing. I might have to get one for myself!

I was 82 out of only 100 made and I ordered that 25 days ago.

Just ordered mine and it was still in stock after I ordered, so it seems like I made it in time! Also picked up the set of postcards too! Thanks for sharing it!

Awesome!

Is it a print? A computer game?

Lithograph of Hemispheres as an Atari 2600 game.  It looks like the boxes they used to come in.  The art is even like they had for the 2600 games.

Thanks.

Knew I'd seen that somewhere. Must have been an email.

Sales must be slow because I just got my order in today and my poster is numbered 83.

I stumbled across this, a recently uploaded live version of The Twilight Zone from 1976!!!

Neat concept, but I'm never been a fan of fantoons though they do have their fans.

I'm on their list anyway in case something moves me to say "Must Get."

I have to guess that this is a preview for the entire show. Nobody is going to record "The Twilight Zone" in 1976 with the idea that Rush isn't going to play this much and it's my favorite song in the set so I'm going to record it for posterity.

Cool interview the guitarist from the Foo Fighters did with Alex breaking down the Limelight guitar solo!

This was so good! Man, Alex Lifeson is such a pleasure to listen to...funny, cool, humble...a true legend. Chris Shiflett is a very pleasant host too.

Oh, and it also helps that the solo in Limelight is one of my absolute favorites

Totally agree. that was a phenomenal watch.

Saw this article in my Chrome App's suggested articles list and just had to take a look and oh boy.... 

It's like they typed in "famous prog rock/metal bands" into Google and picked 13 at random. I didn't read the whole thing and only skimmed for the band names, but knowing what they picked, I don't know if I want to read their reasoning for their choices!

Spoiler alert - no sign of Enchant or Tiles, who are both North American prog bands that have a very similar Rush sound across their catalogs.

This seems like the appropriate place for my 2112th post

Great chat between Alex and Chris! It seemed like he would have fooled around all afternoon if it didn't end when it did

And I would have watched every minute of it!

[ytserush]

Anyone going?

This is a collection of 8mm snippets from the ATWAS tour remastered from original 8mm.  It’s a bit frustrating that the clips are so short, but the guy filming was probably really worried about getting caught.

But it only posted a day ago, so I believe this is newly found footage. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

Wow, there's actual footage of them playing Twilight Zone and The Necromancer

It's too bad it's just a bunch of small clips. This full show would have been amazing.

That is amazing footage.

A full show would be some serious holy grail material.

And they're using the double necks for The Twilight Zone!  Yes, the full show would be like a dream come true lol.

If anyone was waiting for the Signals 40th Anniversary Super Deluxe box set to go on sale, it's on Amazon for only $133.00. I bit the bullet and decided to order it yesterday at that price, considering that's over 42% off the MSRP of $299.98 (according to Rush Backstage).

There was NO way I was going to pay anywhere near retail for it, but for $133, I figured it was a good enough deal, especially if this ends up being the last Super Deluxe box set they decide to do. Still a shame there's NO LIVE MATERIAL at all in this set (like the previous five had), but since I already have the AFTK, PEW, and MP sets, I figured I might as well snag this one while the price was low. Someday I'll get the 2112 and Hemispheres sets, but it seems those are harder to come by for cheap (unlike the PEW set I got earlier this year on Amazon for $125 after tax).

Hopefully they still do at least GUP as a Super Deluxe and finally give us the complete GUP Tour audio (if that's still even something they have in its entirety). Maybe throw in a live version of "Afterimage" as well to sweeten the deal!

Either that or he has a very convincing wig.
