    Good news for Rush fans

    I heard, on TV, this morning that Rush will be going into the studio in early November to record their next CD, scheduled for release in early 2007.

    Sorry, couldn't resist.

    Awesome - I felt the writing, from Vapor Trails was killer (largely due to Peart's recent tribulations, no doubt). Their best album in 15 years or more. The recording quality sucked however. I'm sure they've learned their lesson.

    I've seen them twice in the last few years. Still lots of fuel left in the tank. Man, I'm glad these guys never made an "Owner of a Lonely Heart".

    I hope yu're right. Some new music from them would be very welcomed.

    Hey, I saw this tour back in 85. Very enjoyable.

    We had to wait over 6 months for Trevor to heal. Some woman dove into a pool and landed on top of him. But it was a good show. It was the first time I saw a hologram in person. And they mostly played their old stuff.

    Well, back to the Rush. Yippy, yappy, yahooohoay........

    I like Rush except for all of their albums released between 1973 to present.

    The TV thing that I saw did say that Peart had done much of the writing again. I forget exactly how they worded it, but the words "his faith" was used in the description of the lyrics. I'm sure that we're in for some more Peart introspection.

    I saw Yes's 90125 tour also. Then again, I've seen Yes 6 or 7 times (I've lost count)....almost as many times as I've seen Rush.

    90125 tour?

    Man some of you guys must be a bit older than me...back in 1985 my favorite songs were the themes to Thundercats and Transformers. Yes and Rush (though my Dad was a big fan) didn't come until later...

    Rush (The Payolas) - my first Rush concert in 1982
    Aerosmith (Nazareth, Rose Tattoo)
    Chicago (apparently I stopped keeping track of opening bands from this show forward -- bummer)
    Simon and Garfunkel
    David Bowie
    Steppenwolf
    Chris DeBurgh
    Yes (the aforementioned 90125 tour)

    I've seen a good chunk of those acts, just not in the 1980's. In fact, the only shows I saw in the 1980's were Kool Moe Dee, Guns N' Roses, Motley Crue, and New Kids On The Block (ugh - girlfriend).

    Yeah, must have. Think I bought her tickets for her birthday. Don't remember much about the show. Oddly enough, not the worst show I've been to.

    Very cool list. This and Rick Wakeman stand out particularly. I, unfortunately, wasn't into seeing Yes at the time (they were huge in the DC area, very hard to get tickets).

    The ones I remember:

    Heart
    Styx (Angel)
    Triumph
    Blue Oyster Cult
    Black Sabbath
    Rick Wakeman (might've been a year or two later than 1985)
    Echolyn (I think)
    Moraz/Bruford (again, might've been later)
    Shriekback
    Depeche Mode
    Frankie Goes To Hollywood
    Madonna (not even girlfriend -- but a potential girlfriend that never worked out)
    Tangerine Dream
    Scorpions/Ted Nugent/Def Leppard (first tour of theirs, they were younger than I)
    Genesis? Trying to remember what year that was...
    Al Di Meola (although we may be getting later into the 80's by then)
    Crack the Sky

    ...how do you remember all your concerts?!?!?

    Hah... 1985 was when Rush & Yes were both getting old and starting to play more commercialized music.

    Yeah, I got introduced to them in music lessons and later curiosity. Some of my guitar teachers were big fans and passed it on. I think a lot of bands who cite them as big influences also encouraged me to dig into their catalogs.
    Great. I feel so youthful now. Bad lung, mangled hand, and all.

    That's a nice list too!

    I have to admit that the Rick Wakeman and the Bruford/Moraz shows had more to do with the gang that I was spending time with than it did my own musical tastes at the time. I was hanging out with a bunch of prog musician wannabes. They were actually the ones who turned me on to Gabriel era Genesis and some of the older Pink Floyd stuff. I was really more of a metalhead at the time.

    As for remembering all of the concerts, I have most of my ticket stubs from 1981 to 1992. I wrote the opening act on the back of the stub for 1981-1982. I really wish that I hadn't stopped saving them. Man, I've been to hundred's of concerts in the last 25 years and there is no way that I could recollect them all. In fact, I look at some of the stubs that I have and I can't remember being at the show at all. Others I remember like they were yesterday. Those were great years for live shows. Lots of great venues in the city that have since disappeared...makes me kinda sad in a sentimental way.

    The good old days...

    Sh!t. I'm getting old!
