They completely lost me with Hold Your Fire.

I saw them at the Cap Center one time but wasn't into it at all…. I bet it was a great show but we had some crappy seats and at that point Rush was just about as far as you could get from what i was into (Matador bands).. back then I always ended up in the worst seats for some reason.. I blame my friend who'd get the tickets… same thing happened with the Stones. All I remember is they played 2112 and people were psyched about that.


I guess the show was November 7, 1996.. so almost 15 years ago.

actually no wonder I was not into it.. the set list just would not work for me… knowing my friend we probably missed the first few songs too! :)

I actually think that setlist is pretty good. Although I didn't attend the show, I remember Rush being the first band to play the new arena in my hometown during their Test for Echo tour.

'Red Barchetta' is a DJ's friend at 6 minutes length you had time to take a piss and grab some coffee while on the air.

You do the substitution.

Be nice. You know you might have been conceived with '2112' in the background. It was that or Wings 'Band on the Run'? It's all so hazy…

None.  I DESPISE Rush almost as much as I hate Metallica, GnR, and Boston.

Agreed and amen. I don't listen to too much Rush anymore, but I still enjoy listening to Grace Under Pressure as much as when I first discovered how awesome of an album it is. Enemy Within, Between the Wheels, Red Sector A, Distant Early Warning. They're all EXCELLENT live songs, too.

Smoke a bad one, crack open a Bell's Two Hearted, throw on some Grace Under Pressure. GOOD TIMES.

Can you just segue this into "Favorite Dungeons & Dragons Modules" or "Favorite Dr. Who episodes" and be done with it?
