Incredible bassist, doesnt get the props he deserves.
He plays bass, sings, and plays keyboard with his feet.
I’ve seen them twice and it’s astonishing to watch.

Saw them in 1978!...............

Very good news.
Adding a woman as drummer could make the shows (even) more of a sausage fest! 😁
I saw them in the 80s. No drummer can replace Neil. But it’s good that Geddy and Alex are going on tour again.
I remember G talking about that in interview, also he said that the 200+ shows a year were the best way to “learn your craft”. 🎵
LOL!
Alex Lifeson was once considered the best guitar player in the world. But I don’t know what sort of standards they use to decide that, or who “they” are.
Yep! The Hemispheres Tour!
He’s a great one, and having half an octopus at the other end of the stage filling out the sound helps his shine. A lot of three piece outfits tend to sound thin.
Neal was their lyricist, which rarely happens. Maybe Dave Clark...

Mind blowing story....
November, 1977, went to see Rush at the MidHudson Civic center in Poughkeepsie, NY- a 5000 seat arena during the “Farewell to Kings” tour...i was a freshman in HS...
On the trip up the guys in the car are talking about the warm-up band...one guy said, “I heard its some mellow band from Australia”...
The band takes the stage- AC/DC with Bon Scott complete with Bon Scott running through the audience with Angus Young on his shoulders during the encore...
Everybody was like “HOLY SHEET!! WHAT WAS THAT??!!!”
It was as though someone took an iron skillet and banged you on the back of the head...Rush was really good but everybody was exhausted after AC/DC!!!
I heard an interview with him once. His lyrics were heavily influenced by sci-fi and shows like the Twilight Zone. You can definitely tell when you listen to it.
Can’t wait to see them again!
