I've always been into Rush. Listening to the new Snakes & Arrows CD right now, and they've still got it! 8)

Dan, if Rush ever comes within a hundred miles of either one of us, the other better get a phone call that they purchased two tickets.

You got it Bish. 8)
I'm sad to report that the last time I saw Rush live was thier Grace Under Pressure tour when I lived in Chicago. :(

Uh...well you got me by at least 10 years. Maybe longer. Last time I saw them Neil still had long hair.
These days he's starting to look more like Tom Hanks...

Run, Neil, run!

Why do I suddenly have an urge to knaw on a box of chocolate drumsticks?

Life's like that.

Now that Alan brought up "Victor", Alex's solo album, I figured I'd mention it again if for no other reason than a song called "Start Today" featuring female guest vocalist Dalbetto. I'd never heard of her before or since but she does a very interesting Geddy impression with the vocal parts so it sounds much like an old Rush tune, at least vocals-wise.
Overall it's a very solid album.
Do you have a link w/ the dates?

"Everybody got to elevate from the norm."
That's not much of a tour. Where's the London dates? I'd even fly to Europe.
Harrumph, as they say in Blazing Saddles.

That's not much of a tour.
48 dates! Plus two or three in S. America soon to be announced.
No mention of UK/European dates yet, though last year they didn't start that leg until October IIRC. Patience, grasshopper.
"Everybody got to elevate from the norm."
Guess I'll be driving to Cincinnati and/or Atlanta. I saw them in Atlanta last year, which was the first show of the tour. Looks like Atlanta is the last one this time around.
I was hoping that they'd come to the Tweeter Center (formerly known as Great Woods). It's an outdoor venue and I love going there at least once a season.
Gibson coming out with a Lifeson Signature ES335 custom shop guitar soon. If you've got a spare $4,500 sitting around ...
"Everybody got to elevate from the norm."
Hmmm... I think I would have been better off not knowing that. :)
Great, I've been thinking about a hollow body. Checks under couch cushions... Now, if I can just find another spare $4499.50 sitting around.
