One of my all time favorite bands of my youth! I once saw them up close and in person when I was just 19 in Milwaukee (1980), and amazingly actually ran into them after the show when they stayed at the same hotel as us! Geddy was very talkative in the elevator ride, and appreciative of our comments on the great show.
Neil was very quiet… you could tell he just wanted to be left alone with his thoughts as he strolled around the darkened pool area at 1am! Good times though!

My wife and I have seen them several times, and actually are going to a tribute band concert in Milwaukee a week from tonight. It’ll bee good I’m sure, but nothing like that original trio in their prime!

I have seen a Rush tribute band on YouTube that was amazing.
Can't remember what they called themselves now.
Maybe it will be the same guys.

I've seen The Rush Tribute Project 3 times now, and man, I never thought a cover band could be so good. The drummer is as tense as Neil, the lead, while not the same tone as Geddy, (who does?) can certainly hit all of the same notes. It's impressive. The guitarist, while equally awesome, seems like he might be vying for a Steve Smith doppleganger, rather than Lifeson lookalike.

Im going to make it a goal to see all the other tributes touring nationally. For the price, it's hard to beat!

Yes, it is the Rush Tribute Project and I’m pretty stoked to see them. Heard good things about them!
