Listen to Neil's 'sleighbells' effect on the 2/4 on the Fat Kat pedal with his left foot from 2:58. And then through Alex's blistering solo. As Emanuel Steward said about "the fight of the century," Gatti-Ward 1, "you know, you dream about [shows] like this, but very seldom do they live up to the expectations. This is more than you can even dream of."

[@jamieforbes3661]

Seen Rush several times. Newbies to a Rush show are always looking for the other 3 guys as its absolutely mindblowing that only three guys can make soooooo much music with the intensity of getting hit in the head with a wrecking ball! Quite possibly the best band ever !

[@1IamBJC]

I've seen Rush at least a dozen times going all the way back to the mid 80s. I have also been to probably 75 other concerts. I can say, without any shadow of a doubt, that *THE BEST* sounding concerts I have been to have been Rush, Iron Maiden, and Pink Floyd. Kiss *SUCKED* out loud. CONSTANT feedback, fade-ins and outs (guy working the board didn't have a clue). Metallica was good, Queensryche was great, Def Leppard was good, but Rush, Pink Floyd, Iron Maiden, and OH YEAH, Nine Inch Nails sounded FANTASTIC. Rush has always been known (and they call themselves) as a "live band". It is amazing to me just how close the concerts are to the actual recordings. Yet, you can clearly tell that there is no "lip-syncing" going on, and that they are actually playing. They are truly some of the greatest and most gifted artists on the planet. Three Canadian dudes just kicking ass with near perfection and such a "full" sound every time, even 40 years later. Amazing. Pink Floyd, while still one of my favourite concerts, had something like 15-20 people on stage! Rush has THREE. LOVE IT!

Love Counterparts and Test For Echo to be quite honest. They went back to the rock style (of that era, kinda like their debut) but no one really cared. Didn't have the pop potential like Moving Pictures. But there's some awesome workmanship in both albums and the lyrics really hit home on them both. Just love it.

This was the first album I ever was waiting anxiously for the release- I had discovered Rush in high school, went to the Roll the Bones tour, and was in college when I heard it was coming soon. Couldn't wait for class to get over to rush down to the store and buy it! Closed the portable CD player, made sure the car tape adapter was working, and we cranked it up only to have to hit the back button and listen to the intro again, shocked at the epicness! That next year would have worn the CD out if such a thing were possible. :)

It has been a few months - no Rush. I was over due. Went searching in the collection, have over 250 live Rush shows. Found the 1994 Counterparts Tour - Philly. Listened to this song raw and powerful. Counterparts was the best since the early 80's, and underrated. I miss my band. I am hoping that they do a festival at some point. After 1997, with Neil's issues (family) they showed up five years later. Maybe, just maybe Neil physically can do it again. You never know, miracles do happen.
