Saw them at the Hammersmith Odeon in 79 when they toured the Hemispheres album, I was just a kid but was blown away by the musicianship.
The loss of Peart a few years back was a tragedy, he was truly one of the greatest drummers ever to bang the skins.
The lead break on La Villa Strangiato still remains my favourite bit of guitar work of all time, superb.
Love em.

Far too many memories but your assessment may just be correct.
This was the setlist the first time I saw them. Yes, it was unbelievable.

I was onstage with them during the encore at one of those Hammersmith gigs. There was a camera gaffa taped to a speaker cabinet behind Neil's kit, I had to keep changing the film backs and reload them, also try and stop the speaker from rocking. A mad night. Worked with them a few times on location and in the studio. Lovely blokes.

One of the pics from camera I was in charge of. Don't know why they are selling a shot with no band members in it, maybe Rush bought the others, they liked to control images of the band. You must be in the audience. They turned the lights up specially to get the shot. Was meant to be a back cover pic, don't know if they used it.

Horrible, self indulgent, wanky music.

Who would have thought that a bloke who spends most of his life in Wetherspoons would turn out to be a philistine.

I used to listen to Rush when I was a pretentious 17 year old, but I grew out of it.

The interview Geddy Lee gave Dan Rather some time after Neil Peart's death is a great watch, Such an intelligent, multi-faceted, grounded chap. Lee, that is, not Dan Rather.

I wouldn’t say I was a massive fan, but they’ve done some good music. Subdivisions is my favourite.

great run of albums from 2112 to Signals
It is a matter of regret that I never made the effort to see them live

Fo - as you said, that was a great interview, but I think it was before Peart died. Lee just said he couldnt ever see them touring again. I could be wrong though.

"Greatest Band Ever" Might be a slightly subjective view"
I'd lay off the LSD if I were you!
