Just heard new RUSH
 

Heard it on chicagos loop I think there showing off abit! They can still jam

SWEET! Already have tickets for the Columbus, OH show the end of August.

most talented trio in man's history.
like the new song!!!

Loop played caravan

I hate to derail this thread (I love Rush too!), but there's also a new Tom Petty song that he debuted on Saturday Night Live a couple weeks ago. Now, I like Tom Petty, but I'm more of a "greatest hits" fan of his, I'm not a listen-to-every-track-on-every-album fan.

Anyway, this song surprised me. Sounds like an old Zeppelin song. The Heartbreakers can still rock.

Cool song...

tom petty doesn't even begin to compare to geddy lee's pinky toe.
mike, when's your can am video coming out, and what's going to be on it?
i'm a can am psycho nut; if you've got stuff i haven't seen yet, i sure want it.
ciao

The source for my Can-Am material did not come through with a couple films he had. Not sure when this will be done, I wanted to make this a 2-DVD set, but I may be relegated to making a single DVD.

I'm a Chaparral nut myself. Still looking for original footage of the 2J car. http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/happy0024.gif

i bought two dvd's recently on can am stuff.
1 kinda sucked, the other, narrated mostly by jim hall, was beyond outstanding; lotsa Chap stuff included

rush owns!!! they always have and always will and they are Canadian to boot!

anyone got a youtube link still active for these new tunes? there are only short clips on their site but they sound dynamite!!!

Looks like I`ll have to investigate.;)

Love RUSH played at my high school in the 70's

youtube links are dead now; pulled for copyright claims.
if anyone finds more please post 'em; i'll buy the album the day it drops like always but i wanna hear them again now

polar, i'm wicked jealous; that'd have been beyond over the top cool to see them gym jam

Rush is the best. Got tickets for the CT show in July, and tickets for the MA show in September. And sandwiched in between in the Tom Petty show in August. With the car freshly painted, new 600HP+ engine this year, its going to be one heck of a Summer!!

Not to mention Rush is finally doing what I had hoped they would do for a long long time...play the classics!!! Moving Pictures in its entirety? GREAT IDEA!

I remember an interview they had somewhere many years ago where they said they had to had to relearn to play Red Barchetta because it was so long since they've played it. (and because they have such a hug library to pull from) Disappointing to hear since its got to be my absolute favorite, but I think this concert will prove to be memorable.

At the time you were not aware that they would go on to be the greatest three piece Rock band ever. Rush Rules....

Yes indeed a great idea! I saw them on the Permanant Waves tour and they played Red Barchetta, Limelight and Tom Sawyer prior to Moving Pictures being released. Red Barchetta is by far one of my favorite songs bar none from any band.

I may have to find where I can see them.

Speaking of 3-piece bands, I was thinking about how many bands have 3 musicians and 1 singer (just sings). Essentially a 3-piece when they play live. Obviously, bands like Led Zeppelin come to mind.

I can think of a few true 3-piece bands that made it to the top of the charts...

The Police
Rush
Nirvana

Any others?

U2 is a great band. Bono just sings, doesn't he? Queen too...but i dont know if Freddie guitared or not...
