I never get tired of watching that incredible musicianship....

If today's bands want to know what's missing in their music, all they have to do is watch any Rush video....

A little "lighter" followup.

I've always thought that Lifeson's solo on "Freewill" may be one of the greatest things he played live...

Not as good as La Villa Strangiato, though...

Here's a ripping cover of La Villa Strangiato.
Might be too many notes for some tastes, but I think this guy shreds with a lot of feeling.
Postworthy nonetheless.

I've seen Rush so many times live I've lost count. I thought they were at their prime right about the time this video was made and I was lucky enough to see them around that time as well. I believe my concert ticket for general admission was $7.50. Rock and roll just has become too commercialized. What ruined entertainment is what ruined sports. Too much money involved and most the people in it are spoiled. There really doesn't seem to be doing it for the love of it anymore and once you go too far into making money for money's sake, it taints the art. It loses it's edge.

It must be terrible going through life thinking everything is ruined.

No shit. I've seen RUSH live like 20-some-odd-times and I'll still go see them any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

lucky bastids.

Seeing them for the first time coming in Sept...I think the Ticket was 80ish...good deal considering what some bands are charging.

Seen so many live DVD's though seems like I have been to many shows.

Amazing band...unreal how many people think they suck though...

[ThrillsNSpills]

Yeah, it's not for everybody.
What I like about them looking back is that there's always amazing stuff you forget about that is always fresh to revisit.
