Rusty the Scoob Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 A friend of mine caught them in Long Island over the weekend. I didn't get a full show review yet but she's been seeing them for years and said they were on fire! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL........Garcia once said that the GD are like black licorice........you tend to either love them or hate them. I think Rush engenders similar responses.

Rusty the Scoob Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Actually I'm kind of "Meh" on Rush. I respect them a lot, have a pretty good working knowledge of their history, and enjoy a lot of their older stuff like 2112 era or so... but they don't really crack my top 10 of favorite bands. I'd like them more if they left more room for jamming. Anyway.... the point I'm trying to make is that I neither love them nor hate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really depends on the specific Rush song for me. I would definitely not put them in my top 10. I do marvel at their obsessive/compulsive demand for musical perfection.........especially Peart.

neutrino Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 I'm also kind of on the fence with Rush. I have a great attraction to power trios like Rush and Cream. There is just something with the really primal energy of just having a guitar, bass, and drums on the stage. The musianship of Rush is just plain incredible. Most people speak of Neil Peart's drumming, but the other two are also incredible musicians. Some of the bass playing is completely mindblowing in some of the live material I've heard. However.... There is just something too mechanical about their sound at times. I suspect if you listened to two live Rush performances from a given tour, you wouldn't be able to tell them apart. Peart's drumming is technically off the charts, but it just seems to lack a certain kind of spontaneous joy. As a contrast, I'd pick Keith Moon.as exhibit A Completely chaotic and even sloppy at times, but just the most incredible display of drumming I'd ever had the pleasure to witness. I'd would have liked to see Rush at Shoreline in a few weeks, as I've never seen them live. However, I'm going to be at the Jerry Garcia night festivities at the ballpark that same evening!! Ya gotta have your priorities straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya gotta have your priorities straight. I was thinking the same thing and almost mentioned it........Peart and Moon are on polar extremes in their drumming style.......I admire both of them.

Band Member robbok3 Posted August 30, 2010 Band Member Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Dino and I saw this show last Sunday. Being the age that we are, we basically learned to play drums to Moving Pictures. Same setlist you saw, and they tore it up!! Hadn't seen them in at least 5 years. They did not disappoint, and Geddy's voice (love it or hate it) has held up amazingly well through the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P2inboulder Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 I had two friends go the shows @ Red Rock's last month. I heard it was mediocre. Same exact setlists in order, for the whole tour. I wish DSO would do that ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
