I was one of the fortunate few who was able to attend this and I wanted to point out a few adds. When you hear people speaking of the crowd erupting, they meant it. I have been to a ton of concerts and some extremely large crowd events. Nothing, I mean nothing was as deafening by a crowd than in the staples center that night. After the first 30 seconds to a minute you just had to laugh at it. By the second minute your eyes were well opened and people staring at each other in amazement. By the third minute and what seemed an eternity the crowd finally went down. HBO did a massive edit on their final cut of the show and it doesn't do it justice. It was one of the most amazing things I have ever been graced with attending

The reaction from Jan, the joy on Grohl's face, those at the Rush table with their hands to their mouths, astonished, the peer musicians standing up to show the enormous RESPECT they have for the undeniable talent and the good faith with which it has been delivered to us all for 40 years. Even without the deafening roar of appreciation, you can see the impact on the faces. What a memorable moment in MUSIC, let alone rock history.

RUSH stands among the best bands of Rock & Roll. Where Led Zeppelin, Yes, Pink Floyd, The Who and The Rolling Stones were loved and made successful by radio airplay RUSH truly gained its success from its fans. Who knows how many thousands of musicians around the world were inspired to pick up a guitar, bass or drums because of their musicianship and independence of from the music industry. This was their day of recognition not only by the fans but by the music industry who paid homage to the Kings of Progressive Rock!

i am 51 years old and when I was a kid growing up i had 3 posters a on my bedroom wall 1) Led Zeppelin, 2) Pink Floyd and Last but not Least the Giant RUSH “Fly by Night” Owl Poster.... I Thank you...thank you...thank you...thank you.. for the great music and memories and lyrics that made me think about the world and my place in it... Lyrics and music that made me want to be part of the solution in the world and not part of the problem. I can honestly say that as Rush fans, we don’t just listen to the music... we literally internalize it!!!!

There are Quite Simply Not Enough Words in the HUMAN LANGUAGE to Accurately Describe just how GREAT They Truly Are!
