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.

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?

Bono actually strums along on many tunes when U2 play live. Same thing for Freddie Mercury. Both of them are 4-piece bands, but the lead singer occasionally plays some acoustic to fill in. I've actually seen Robert Plant (Zeppelin) and Roger Daltrey (The Who) strum an acoustic guitar now and then on stage, but I never saw Plant do that while with Zeppelin, just in later years.

Just thought of a couple others:

Jimi Hendrix
Cream

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