They were consider progressive heavy metal but I agree that metal could have been replaced with rock instead.
Just watched a documentary based on their final tour which was also their 40th year of touring. Geddy Lee’s voice wasn’t the same as the old days of course. Weaker but he hit the notes for the most part. Neil Peart was 73 that year and not missing a beat. That was 2016 and he died last year from brain cancer.
Alex Lifeson had arthritis that made it hard for him to play.
Peart had shoulder problems for the past several years.
glad I saw them 6 times
You could definitely hear Stewart Copeland’s influence on Peart’s playing in the 80s.
I think Neil Peart was 63 on the tour you saw, he died at 67. Bet he would have loved it to make to 73.
