This was always personal with RUSH with their fans - as it is with us with them. There is not many bands that has that kind of personal impact with their fans as this one has enjoyed. I think that not many do today. I always knew that if just one of them was gone, or quit for some unbelievable reason - it was never going to be RUSH again. I am thankful they remained together for as long as we have been blessed with them.

Dan Campbell they were indeed special. I knew they were something special in 1977 when I got my first Rush album and heard 2112 for the first time. BLOWN AWAY! I listened to that album over and over and each new album that came out I’d “Rush out” to get the next installment. But it wasn’t until I was on a US Navy destroyer in the middle of the Mediterranean that I really appreciated Farewell to Kings and drowned myself in Xanadu that the extent of their talent really set in. At my first port of call I went looking for a record shop and bought Moving Pictures and thought that there was no way they could top the recent albums but man was I wrong. ......... Now I’m getting old and I am moved with emotion listening to their mastery wishing I had seen them more than just once live. They will be remembered as the most talented rock n roll band in history!!

Most music fans don't give a fuck about who does the lights, but l promise you it is always the other member of any band performing live. It always amazes me that great lighting, or a simple effect at a certain time, can make the audience go "Ahhh!", but don't really notice that *somebody, not on the stage, is doing that*. Ever since l was a kid in the 70s at shows l would go up to meet the lighting tech and thank them....l think l met all of them, Marc Brickman, Patrick Woodroffe, Mick Brockett...no one cared what they did. I never got to meet Howard though. Pay attention to the lights when you go to a concert! You rock, Howard!

Watching this yet again. Seeing Alex “singing” during LVS and seeing Neil and Geddy having so much fun. It really was 3 brothers by choice having a great time. Playing music with your 2 best friends and getting paid for it. Life does not get better. Thanks for sharing it with us.

24 hours a day. 7 days a week. 365 days a year. I just can't stop listening to RUSH. I've been seriously addicted from 1974 and now it's 2021 of March and it's still happening. No rehabs for me. That's for quitters. Chi Town

Best progressive band in history in my opinion. I saw them unfortunately only once in their decades of touring and it was on their Roll the Bones tour and Primus opened for them. I was only maybe 16, a band geek in school and I absolutely knew the masters that I was seeing and listening to on that stage! Unforgettable! Their songs always bring back memories and excitement! I miss the professor. He inspired my drum and percussion skills and many of us owe thanks to him, Alex and Geddy for bringing us such sweet melodies and beats! They were pretty much the best out of many musicians at their craft.

Alex’s verbal improvs were always fun. Fun to see Geddy and Neil adapt to it. Was always a joy to see them 🇨🇦😍🥃😷 like so many, I still weep for the loss of Neil. Thank you Neil for the gift of you 😢

I've been a Rush fan for 46 of my 61 years and that is one of many great instrumentals by the greatest rock trio ever........
@glennwickstrom22793 жыл бұрын
It's been 47 years since I saw Rush play at my high school and have been a fan from that point on. John Rutsey was on drums back then of course. Am probably 1 of the few that walked up to watch them play because I was mezmorized by the sound. They didn't have many that would do that at high schools. It's been a lifetime of Rush and glad I was there from the beginning.

Those that really knew rock were well aware of how good Rush was for so many years. Love the band !
