Cool. LA and Chicago here. My old drummer from our sometimes band in Phx is in Chi now so would be a cool trip.

 

Think I showed a clip a while back of him playing a gold sparkle DW kit he bought directly from Stevie Nicks’ drummer.

What an awesome day. Wow. 

Rush has been the most influential and inspirational band in my life. The first album my parents bought my brother and I was All the Worlds a Stage. I've seen them 29 times. I got to meet Geddy Lee at Book People when he did his book signing in Austin. I'd never thought I'd get to see them again and then I read the news today. All I could say was blah, blah, blah, blah. 

Signed up tonight, too. 2 for Ft Worth. 2 for Chicago.

This should be cool.  She has a much deeper groove than Peart, it will change their sound quite a bit.  I hope the fans keep an open mind, she seems stellar.

I'm just glad that there will finally be a woman at a Rush concert.

I'm excited, she's got chops with taste, very syncopated and staccato and I think she will fill the void in the trio in a good way.

Also, headline should be "Cementing their legacy as musical pioneers, Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee finally get a female to listen to prog rock"

Beyond that, they will now be a quartet with a dedicated keyboard player.

I stopped listening to Rush after they peaked (my opinion) with Moving Pictures.  The next album really turned me off, and random songs I'd hear down the road didn't change my point of view.  NOW I'm pumped.  It would also be interesting to hear some new stuff, although lyrics could be a problem.  First things first -- this short 7-city tour.

I did not catch the keyboardist part.  That will be interesting.  They can go for some bigger compositions now if they want.

I can see that, AFTER "Signals."

They changed over time.  There was a lot of good music put out after Moving Pictures.   But I’m maybe a wee bit biased.
