The same.  Tarrant County Convention Center.  Max Webster opened.  

Max Webster/Kim Mitchell was solid IMO……and Gary Mccracken was a beast of a rock drummer

Lol. That is a great hockey name

I absolutely don't get why people rank Vapor Trails so consistently low. The back half of that album, from the title track on, is some of the strongest stuff they've ever made. Plus, I love "One Little Victory" and "Earthshine." Especially the Remixed version, which in my mind saved the album; cleaned it up without losing the original's edge.

But then, I agree with Peart that Counterparts might actually be their best work -- or no worse than second behind Hemispheres. Moving Pictures rounds out my top three. But I've probably spent more hours listening to Vapor Trails and Counterparts than any other albums.

Not a huge Rush fan but Moving Pictures came out out at the perfect time to be one of those albums that takes me to a different time. Throw in Spirit of Radio and Freewill and, on a good day, Fly by Night, and I’m good to go. 

Apropos of nothing much other than I am too damned old, I missed the original airing of the MASH finale to see them at Reunion Arena. And to fuck a girl I’d worked with the summer before.

If Geddy and Alex ever started another project, I think he would be a really good choice on drums.

Rip…this one is for you. Steve on a massive Sonor Phonic kit in 1983

Don’t know how Geddy did the vocals to this live while playing.

Unbelievable. Geddy Lee's baseball memorabilia collection is astounding.

Pretty cool interview with Geddy.
