I caught Rush when they played Moving Pictures in its entirety at Madison Square Garden. Experiencing The Camera Eye live was epic; catching it at MSG was quasi-religious.

I’m glad to see that Geddy and Alex are moving beyond their grief enough to start discussing some sort of collaboration or project together. It’ll in no way be Rush, but it will still be head and shoulders above so much of what is considered prog rock out there. I always felt that Geddy would be a fiting replacement for Chris Squire.
And here I was expecting some footage from Sacramento or maybe the Kansas City Royals.
Though this was a Limbaugh article.
Never liked the castrada sound of that band.
Love Rush!!! I have pretty much all their albums (except their first one — I like it OK, but just not the same as after Peart joined), but haven’t listened to them for a while. I anticipate the next two months I’m going to be listening to nothing but Rush!
Camera Eye is a great song! That was back when people had a decent attention span (or maybe were sufficiently stoned) to listen to a 20 minute song.
“We can go from boom to bust
From dreams to a bowl of dust
We can fall from rockets’ red glare
Down to “Brother can you spare —”
Another war — another waste land —
And another lost generation...”

My favorite band of them all! And they served as a springboard of sorts into the wider world of progressive rock for me.
And of course I admire them for sticking to their vision and achieving success anyway.
