It's hard to believe there was a time when they had an opening band. But - of course they did. I think slick is a good word to use. I like Moving Pictures ok, but the sound is so sterile. I've said this before - but I have an original pressing of All The World's A Stage. That is really a nice package - with all the photos. Also - the very first Rush album I ever owned was the first one on cassette. On the tape I have, the end of Working Man cuts off, and for years I thought that was how the song ended.

From what I have read, Neil sends lyrics to Geddy and Alex, and then they write the music. Neil lives a very separate life from them - so maybe that has something to do with it.

Collectible vinyl business has seen record sales due to the recession I have that Who record pictured on the left.

They sort of lost me with all the keyboards and synthesizers. I know they let that go of that some point. I just don't feel the need to buy everything a band puts out anymore. I wonder if they will end up using backing tapes this time around. All the Moving Pictures tracks have something going on - outside of guitar/bass/drums. I know in the past that Geddy did the keyboards live, and/or used foot pedals while playing bass. It seems like a lot for him to do. Maybe they will go really old school, and have a keyboard player hidden behind some scenery. I suppose when I think of Rush, I t

It seems to me that it falls apart a few times.

I usually always check out their new albums, but the last one I bought was Exit Stage Left.

I think I saw a Youtube link the other day - but they has been removed by the time I clicked on them.

Maybe we can meet up again when I am up there this time. I have not heard the new songs yet. I still refuse to pay for Mp3s. I am sure they are out there floating around.

We are going to be on the right - toward the middle, I think.

The show is at the Performing Arts Center in Saratoga Springs.

That is the part I like - The Fountain of Lamneth.

I think for me it is that one, the first one, A Farewell To Kings, and All the World's a Stage.

I think it is one of their best.

New York I'd much rather see a Caress of Steel or A Farewell to Kings tour, but I don't think the masses would go for that sort of deal. I take it they are playing Moving Pictures as it is there most well known album, and will attract people who are not Rush freaks.

Taper's Section (June 7 to June 13, 2010) That is an odd Eyes of The World.

A recent show popped up on Dime a Dozen last night. He is already doing a lot of the new songs.

I have read that Elton has had money problems for years. He spends more than he earns. There is also some speculation that he will donate the 1 million dollar fee to some sort of charity. He has done such things before - singing with Axl Rose, and Eminem are two instances that come to mind. A lot of these bands are probably being advised to not play there due to safety concerns.

Me too- After listening to the band since the late 70s, I am finally going to see them in July. Neil has been writing some very nice essays and posting them on his website as of late.

Wilco Archive Update – June 4 2010

I did a quick count on our Wilco Live Show Archive spreadsheet the other day, and that is what I came up with. It could be that I did not count the Jeff solo shows, but since most of those were benefit shows, I doubt we will see a tape from those shows anyhow.

I think there are several sources for that show up at bt.etree.org. There are well over 400 Jerry shows there. I doubt all of them are being seeded, but they are listed there. I have never really heard any of his solo stuff - except for the Legion of Mary show I have.

Furthur Closes Festival, Plays Live Rehearsal Show Wild and wacky stuff.

I think there are around 29 shows from the past tour that have yet to appear.

I believe I saw Human Highway and '68 on Cinemax back in the early 1990s. Goin' Back
