The best part about RUSH is it was always ALL about making great music, not overdone stage sets or dance routines, just the music. They genuinely cared about each other, too. After Neil was devastated by the deaths of his wife and daughter in separate instances, they put the band aside for two years and made sure he had time to recover. They tracked his progress the whole time then eagerly welcomed him back. Pretty down to earth people.

[@walterlegere1403]

There were a lot of great bands in the 70's! I've seen so many in my youth. Zeppelin, Yes, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Pink Floyd, Boston, the Eagles, Skynyrd... I could go on and on but there was one band that I saw live for the first time in 1977 that just blew me away and that was these guys. It was remarkable and I'll never forget it! They were just so different and LOUD! I couldn't hear right for a few days after that concert! These guys and so many other original "arena" bands were the soundtrack to my youth and what a great time it was. I miss those days and think about them all the time. I had friends back then and we'd go to whatever concerts we could afford to go to. I'd work 60 hrs a week just so I could afford tickets to a Stones concert or to take my girlfriend to go see KISS! The last concert I went to was to see the Zack Brown Band in Charlotte, NC and those guys played for two and a half hours in 98 degree blistering heat and humidity and they didn't miss a beat the whole time! The younger generation just doesn't understand and I feel bad for them because they'll never get to experience what we did growing up.

Well, I'm 50 now and a professional concert photographer who shoots 75-100 bands a year live. I got to stand 10 feet away from RUSH a couple years ago and photograph them live and in person for the first time. Even though I photograph popular bands all the time, I nearly had a heart attack from sheer joy shooting RUSH. Now I have my own Rush posters hanging in my office that I shot personally. Full Circle.

One of the best thing about Rush to me is that they never stopped evolving or trying new things. They never restricted themselves to one sound or style. The words "Rush doesn't do that" weren't in their vocabulary. They dabbled in metal, prog, reggae, new wave, synth rock, and anything else that tickled their fancy, and somehow made all of it sound like Rush. Not everyone liked everything they did, but few other bands had their curiosity or versatility, and because of that, their catalog is one of the most diverse in recorded music.

It's one of the reasons I love Rush. If I want to hear something in nearly any rock-related style there's at least one Rush song that covers it.
