In The Mood
Rush was among my 5-10 favorite bands before these concerts.
I had written down a list of about 15-20 songs that I wanted to hear but they didn't play any of them.
They played the same songs and in the same order every night, Geddy didn't say much else than "Thank you, thank you very much"
and presenting the next song, and it was almost the same words and the same steps each night.
All this may sound like I didn't enjoy it. Nothing can be further from the truth, I LOVED IT, and it was better and better every night.
After the third show Rush was my number one favorite band and they have been that ever since.
After Limelight: Thank you, Good evening London. How are you all doing out there tonight.
Nice to be back again for a third night here at Wembley.
We've got a, like the other nights, we've got a ton of material that we like to do for you.
We like to continue with another song from Power Windows, this is called Marathon.
After Marathon: Thank you very much. We like to do some music for you from our Hold Your Fire album, this is called Turn the Page.
After Turn The Page: To a song from Hold Your Fire, this is called Prime Mover.
After Closer To The Heart: Thank you, thank you very much. Well we like to back a couple of records. To a record called Grace Under Pressure, this is a song called Red Sector A.
After Red Sector A: Thank you very much. We like to go back to Hold Your Fire right now, this is a song called Force Ten.
After Lock And Key: Thank you, thanks very much. We like to change the pace and the mood a little bit, it's another song from Hold Your Fire, this is called Mission.
After Mission: Thank you. OK, a little ? type of a thing, Territories.
After Tom Sawyer: Thank you very much, Good night.
After In The Mood: Thank you very much. You guys have been great. We've had a great time in Britain this time. We hope we'll see you again some time. Bye bye.

Not at all the songs you were waiting for. Less budget, but as always it was great.
Geddy keeps singing better and better.
Neil dropped the drumstick during Closer To The Heart in Pensacola, even the sun has spots.
After The Analog Kid in Dallas, Geddy said: You could think you we're cheering for the cowboys or something.
In Dallas Rush were 2 minutes late on stage, that has never happened at any of the other 11 concerts I have seen.
For once Alex spoke, always between Animate and Stick It Out though, but different each night.
Pensacola: Alex speaks but jibberish, Geddy translates, Geddy: Alex doesn't feel so good.
New Orleans: Geddy: Unless Alex would like to say something.
Alex: I'd rather do another song. I did say something. Why don't you sit there smiling all night.
Houston: Alex: Hello everybody, I'm gonna be singing the rest of the night. You can take off the rest.
The next song is called "Stick It Out" (with a shrieky voice)
Dallas: Geddy: I'm trying to get my friend over here to talk. Alex: I love Dallas.
In a radio interview before the premiere in Pensacola, Geddy made this comment: "We usually rent the opening venue for two weeks
for rehearsal, checking lights and sound and everything. When we get together we sound like a bad cover band, after a week we sound
like a good cover band and after two weeks we sound like us.

BU2B and Caravan from the forthcoming album, Witch Hunt and Far Cry was superb.
See my facebook page for two short videos from Witch Hunt and Caravan.
Since it was the first time I heard Faithless, The Camera Eye and Vital Signs live,
it became 6 new songs in the list of songs I have heard live with Rush.
I would love if they could play the complete Caress of Steel album next time,
I have still only heard a few seconds live from that album (R30 Overture) which is sad,
Fountain of Lamneth would be great.
Finding My Way to Everyday Glory - 20th Anniversary 1994
1994 12 Feb Västerhaninge, Sweden
From Counterparts Tour Program:
 |
In 1994 Rush will celebrate twenty years together |
(our rhinestone anniversary, I believe it's called). |
But really, can you imagine - the same three guys |
staying together through a score of years, and |
finding an audience to keep buying all that racket? |
I'm not sure which is more amazing, but either way it |
must be some kind of record, and either way, we're happy. |
That's the secret, if there is one. |
Here's some comments from the band members:
"The only thing worse than touring is not touring," that's my motto.
"Here's a list of some changes to the look and sound of my equipment rig:
1. Get stuff that has a lot of flashing lights.
2. Get stuff that's bigger than it needs to be.
3. Get stuff that's really expensive.
4. Get a bunch of extra flashing lights.
5. Make sure you have a total of at least 50 knobs you can turn.
6. Get a tractor to haul all the stuff you've got but don't really need. (It was this last item that caused all the trouble...)"
"The preparation for the "coming tour" brings the increasingly-more-necessary jokes about amps, speakers,
ear molds (I said ear molds, not ear moulds!!), keyboards, weight problems, the aging process, g-g-g-golf,
baseball, and of course donuts! (I wonder who invented donuts? I dunno, probably some genius.)
Oh! Before I forget - for those interested in such things, I actually have some new Equiptment on this tour! Gasp! (Did he win a contest?, you ask.)
Yes, it's true, after 200 years of touring, I have new amps. Just call me impetuous!"
The competition of the evening was called CrushWord, and was a difficult crossword
with musical Rush questions. First prize was the Counterparts Tour Program,
since I had just come home from the Tour Premiere in the US.

NEWS September 2000
Rush fans, rejoice! Drummer Neil Peart has remarried. Peart tied the knot with photographer Carrie Nuttall in a small private ceremony Sept. 9 in Montecito, Calif., near Santa Barbara. The couple is planning a larger reception for Oct. 8, also in Southern California, the bride's home region.
Peart has been on a long hiatus from Rush since the death of his daughter in a car accident in 1997 and the loss of his wife to cancer less than a year later. The drummer is now expected to re-join bandmates Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson in a Toronto studio early in 2001 to record a new Rush album, the trio's first since 1996's Test for Echo.
Meanwhile, Lee has recorded a solo album, My Favorite Headache, now scheduled for release Nov. 14 on Atlantic. The album features Lee primarily on bass and vocals, k.d. lang cohort Ben Mink on guitars and former Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron, currently with Pearl Jam, on drums. All 11 songs were composed by Lee and Mink, who also co-produced the album with David Leonard.
