    Holy shit! They made the RS cover! I wish I was kidding. Pinch me.

    NO WAY, are you serious? That's like when they got into that hideous place the RRHOF. That's a rare copy of RS I have to get, even though I don't much like the mag anymore.

    Another band I can't get into. Dead, Springsteen, Rush. Yikes! Good for you guys though. The band sounds like they have dedicated fans.

    Let's face it RUSH is not for everyone. They are of a music genre that they rule progressive ROCK with one of the most unique voices in music. Even those who hate/dislike them and usually will commend them on the musicianship. ALL three are among the BEST in the instruments they play, they are the best live and dependable. In the 50 shows I've seen I've NEVER EVER been disappointed.....yes some-no many shows stood out than others but in the end they have been top notch entertainment.

    yeah, I think that's why a lot of Pearl Jam fans in particular can't get into them, as PJ's live spontaneity is one of the x factors that draws people to them. for instance, I love the Eagles music, but live, they are statues playing the music so intricately similar to the records, why bother? it doesn't even seem like a live experience. but they are incredible musicians. like rush. you can't beat 8 arms.

    True, however why I can love both PJ and RUSH is that it comes down to the music their lyrics and how it's all presented to the fans. Yes one of the knocks of RUSH is that they never really change their setlist however on their R30 and R40 tours also some other ones they've played set A+B.

    I've been around music all my life with my father being a sound system engineer and concert promoter in Jamaica. So I'm attracted to lighting and SOUND, RUSH are the best at this at their concerts. I love PJ in the same breath in that they appear not to put such importance into those to aspects of the concert package. Just down to earth musicians giving their fans all that they have on stage.

    don't know much about CCR's live show. But aren't they a caricature of their former selves?

    Toronto night 2. Filming this one too. I haven't looked up set lists but are they sticking largely to the one?

    Rocked it driving home today with Chemistry at an unhealthy volume.

    Just a great band.

    I still remember how Tom Sawyer used to elicit cheers at parties followed by every person in the house- well... except for a few girls- executing a Peart air band drum roll with a Kokanee in their hand in perfect time.

    Kokanee is a BC beer for those wondering why people might be holding on to fish at a party.

    I ride my bike to work now to get in the best shape as I get closer to a year after ankle surgery. I NEVER leave home without listening the Grace Under Pressure tour live with my favorite mix being The Weapon, Witch Hunt and YYZ-Temples Of Syrinx-Tom Sawyer. Not too loud in that down here S. Florida one has to be able to hear traffic, luckily most of the Snowbirds are gone.

    No just the live official version that was released all mixed up. Is there something unique about that boot? I only have RUSH boots on vynil, no g under p boots and where they are now only heaven knows.

    It "came out" in the 90s, before the P/G DVD/CD came out. The quality is so so, for an AUD, but back then it was easily the best show from that era.
