I used to love Rush until I started doing the bar band thing years ago. After you play the same tunes 1000 times, it's hard to keep that flame burning. Some of it was pretty complex to play though, for rock anyway.

I remember seeing them live in the 80s when Getty was in his heavy keyboard phrase playing his bass, keys, and his bass pedals, and Neil with his drum triggers. Amazing what they could do as a trio.

I've got all their stuff, but really, don't care for anything from Power Windows onward, although parts of Roll Them Bones was interesting.
