I've seen Rush 6 times - the 2nd time was front row for the 2112 tour in 1976.
And btw, I thought everyone was a "musicologist". Bluzman speaks for himself here..
Neil had to learn the whole first album pretty fast before they hit the road.The whole first album kicked ass.
After that they started getting into more of a progressive rock thing. Probably due to Neil Peart's influence.
Then I envy you for that! You saw Rush at the very pinnacle of their career!I've seen Rush 6 times - the 2nd time was front row for the 2112 tour in 1976.
Rush had a lot of transformations in their 40+ years.Then I envy you for that! You saw Rush at the very pinnacle of their career!I've seen Rush 6 times - the 2nd time was front row for the 2112 tour in 1976.
I have a fair amount of Rush and don't mean to step on any toes here, I had a friend who used to follow them from city to city, I think he saw them like 4-6 times every tour they did. Bought his tickets off a broker and paid like $200 every time for front row seats, etc.
The GOOD thing about Rush is that when they were good, they were great. They had their unique sound and sounded like more than just 3 people.
The downside of Rush is that unfortunately, they really only had enough good material to fill 4-5 albums at best. Somehow, they parlayed that out into a very successful if underrated 45 year career. But they went commercial and produced a lot of very redundant music that had nothing new to say. They became radio hit wonders.
If I had to pick two songs that was the quintessential Rush, it would be the 2112 suite on the original 2112 album, and By-Tor and the Snow Dog rendition on their All The World's A Stage Album. But of course, that is not to say they didn't have at least a dozen other great songs!

One of my cover bands learned and performed Red Barchetta in his honor. Very emotional for all of us.I cried the say I learned Neil died.
