Apparently, their lead guitar player was more humble than any other bands lead. The bass guitar and drums are featured right along with the lead. The lead has his moments, but he never seems to steal the show. Geddy's work on bass is more technical than most, and the drums, well most everyone knows how special he was.

Here’s my dilemma. Never have been a rush fan. Knew their music and knew most of their famous songs such as Tom Sawyer and others. Even knew most of the lyrics. It wasn’t until Neil’s passing of the same cancer that took our other Canadian songster mr. Gord Downie that I took a hard look at the musical history and efforts of this band. It blows me away at my ignorance of how great this band was and is and how much I missed from back in the day. I had so many opportunities to see them over the last thirty five years it actually makes me sad. But I suppose better late than never. Limelight is my new anthem.

My pain is that growing up in Australia, for me RUSH didn't get a mention over here. I loved listening to music in the 70s and onwards and RUSH drew a mental blank....i might have heard some songs but nothing comes to mind. Move forward 40 years into 2019 and i decided to look up "good" drummers ( myself a keen drummer but not very good) and a guy named Neil Peart pops up with Tom Sawyer and the rest they say is history. The passing of Neil is very sad to me, but in the past year I have been able to overdose on all of RUSH's songs. After it was announced of Neils passing 3 days after, I basically haven't stopped listening to them. These three are pure masters.
@anthonynasti12794 жыл бұрын
Absolutely hated Rush literally up until Neil passed; some of my friends were posting some of Rush's deeper cuts (mostly from the later years when Geddy's voice wasn't as irritatingly shrill as it was from 1973 to 1980) and I was blown away by how fantastic they were as musicians and how deep and empathetic a writer Neil was. "The Pass" put me over the edge, what a devastatingly compassionate and well written song that is. I love them as much as I do the Dead and the Stones now.

I consider about this time (1997) Rush was really in their PRIME. Every body was healthy, Geddy still had his voice and they were just really good at their craft by then. I guess I saw about 3 or 4 of their shows and they never disappointed. I had tickets for the last show in Dallas. I didn't know that they were retiring. I had tickets but I had to work for like a week and a half straight right before the concert and I was really tired and didn't go. Had I known that it was the very last show they would ever do in Dallas Tx I would have made an all out effort. One year 4 of my friends and I went on a Rush Pilgrimage so to speak. We started out seeing Rush in Dallas Tx. Then drove down to San Antonio Texas( Buda) for the next night's show. Then over to Houston Tx for the next show then came home. There was a day in between one of those shows I don't remember which. That was back in the partying days. That was a hoot. Pretty expensive to if I remember correctly. Best Band Ever!! GOAT

No extra guitar or keyboard players, no vocal backers, just three of them on stage, doing what a band of six or seven normal musicians would do.

The sound is so good. Amazing footage. Rush forever. What they did and do is timeless.

The first concert I ever saw was 2112~ I've been a loyal fan for how many decades now? Never mind- let's not answer that :) When I was at the Roll the Bones tour in St. Petersburg, FL, I was sitting 3 rows from the stage in front of Alex and when they played this song- (one of my favs and there are so many) I stood and gave him the hand sign for love and he mouthed "thank you" to me and then proceeded to play the solo in front of us- I named my son after him

Não sei do que eu gosto mais: das músicas excelentes, da técnica impecável ou do fato dos 3 caras serem amigos por mais de 30 anos. Acho que essa é a parte mais legal do Rush. Eles se divertiam pra krl tocando juntos

They became my favourite band around 1984 and have been so ever since. Limelight was my first favourite song of Rush. My favourite guitarist is Alex, favourite bassist Geddy, favourite drummer Neil, but my favourite thing about Rush is their lyrics. It makes me sad that I never had a chance to meet Neil. Reading Roadshow now, it helps in getting to know him a little.

During the Test for Echo tour. This was one of many that I saw, and every show was brilliant. It's been said many times - Alex, Geddy and Neil were the best of friends, playing music in the greatest band ever, and having the best time. I got goosebumps at every show I saw. There will never be another band like Rush. God bless Alex, Geddy and the Peart family. We miss you Professor.

You can be ready for the fact of someone's death, but nothing can prepare you for the feeling of their absence thereafter. Was the same with my mom dying a year ago, and my dad 30 years ago. You're attached to people you know, more than you think until the tendrils that bind you together are torn loose from your heart. Then you really know. That's just how it goes.

@@j_freed Yeah, with you. My Mum died from cancer. She was in her early 80's and didn't want to go through treatment but let it run its course. So, we were prepared, kind of. But that finality is something you can't really prepare yourself for. That empty space, the phone calls, the gestures that are missing. Time softens the raw pain and sorrow but there is still a scar. Hoping you're OK, and that life is beginning to manifest its joy, beauty, it's treasure once again.

"Test for Echo" may not be a beloved album for many (not me), but this was an absolutely fantastic tour and in many ways I think it may have been their best ever. Neil was absolutely KILLING IT this tour, not that he didn't always kill it but he ascended to a new level with even more passion and precision. Alex's tone and playing were delicious. Geddy in fine voice. Great Woods 1997 may be my favorite Rush show barring some from the Time Machine and Clockwork Angels tours.
