I absolutely adore Rush, so I will try to do this in the most kind way. Last time I saw Rush live was in 2007 on the Snakes & Arrows tour, and Geddy Lee could barely handle the vocals then, I can only imagine now
I never really got into them.
I was given a copy of Hemispheres for my 21st Birthday and only listened to it a couple of times.
I have never listened to anything else they did,
By that time I was moving away from Prog, having been a massive Yes/Genesis/ELP fan in my teens.
I have of course heard of Geddy Lee and Neil Peart (RIP) but don’t really know Rush (Probably sacrilege to a Canadian!)
I posted the link as I thought it would be of interest, but I have no intention of going to a gig 
Fascinating and a truly mind blowing collection.
HD remaster with live orchestra.
The best Eurovision song ever IMO. I’d rank this second to the Dutch version, but above the German version.
Sorry I was trying to post up a full bootleg concert from 1984 by The Cure but couldn’t get the feckin’ link to work.
This is the original post if that’s any use.
Ok being not of sound mind I’ve just realised these two things are related and it’s a rabbit hole
Internet archive is a wonderful thing. I just wish it wasn’t set up like a website from 1994. It’s an absolute cunt to navigate or find what you are actually looking for.
Stories from the infamous pistols gigs at the lesser free trade hall.
Think the docs from around 2000
Which reminds me of my own personal fact that I was born two days after Bob Dylan’s Judas/Electric moment at the Free Trade Hall. Not a million miles away in Boundary Park Hospital.
What made me watch the doc was this interview about the book that came out after the documentary.
Think they say that the Dylan gig was at a different venue opposite the free trade hall. Not that it really makes much difference.
Freaks get organized. - Nearly
Several fun and interesting writers are featured, including Mick Farren. His 1989 novel The Armageddon Crazy describes a post-2000 United States dominated by fundamentalists who subvert the Constitution. It’s interesting to look back and consider how rebellious they were in their day.
Probably seen by most into indie,but think it’s the first time on YouTube.
Over a decade old already.
It must of been hard work working with mark hollis.
But he knew exactly what he wanted were others must of been scratching their heads.
Seems Phil brown was one of the few to know what he was after.
