The same.  Tarrant County Convention Center.  Max Webster opened.  

Max Webster/Kim Mitchell was solid IMO……and Gary Mccracken was a beast of a rock drummer

I absolutely don't get why people rank Vapor Trails so consistently low. The back half of that album, from the title track on, is some of the strongest stuff they've ever made. Plus, I love "One Little Victory" and "Earthshine." Especially the Remixed version, which in my mind saved the album; cleaned it up without losing the original's edge.

But then, I agree with Peart that Counterparts might actually be their best work -- or no worse than second behind Hemispheres. Moving Pictures rounds out my top three. But I've probably spent more hours listening to Vapor Trails and Counterparts than any other albums.

Not a huge Rush fan but Moving Pictures came out out at the perfect time to be one of those albums that takes me to a different time. Throw in Spirit of Radio and Freewill and, on a good day, Fly by Night, and I’m good to go. 

Apropos of nothing much other than I am too damned old, I missed the original airing of the MASH finale to see them at Reunion Arena. And to fuck a girl I’d worked with the summer before.

If Geddy and Alex ever started another project, I think he would be a really good choice on drums.

 

 

Rip…this one is for you. Steve on a massive Sonor Phonic kit in 1983

Just killer

 

This seems like a good thread to visit. :)

I’ll put that Tyler Warren YouTube up sometimes on one of my monitors while working and listen and glance over from time to time. 
 

It’s mindblowing.  It’s not just that he tackled one of their more difficult albums (if that can be a thing). 
 

It’s not just that he can play and sing everything like it was on the album. 
 

He even nailed the production quality.  The tones. The mix.  So close on synth settings.  All of it. 
 

Wnen I first found this video I shared it with some old friends from my teens. A couple of them still play in bands today. They just never stopped.  Only one of my friends is a huge Rush fan. But the others have come back in recent years and commented again on this video.  They revisit and now they suggest tunes for me to try and learn.  They bend the knee to Tyler’s talent and commitment.

Yeah, all of this.

He’s also got some pretty good Queen vids as well.

Highly recommend The Rush Tribute Project if they come to your area. Maybe the best Tribute band you may see. 

 

 

That was excellent!  Thanks for sharing!

I’m a big fan of YYNOT.  They are really good.  The bassist and guitarist both nail the tones of Geddy and Alex so well.
