Rush - Cygnus X-1 played by Katy Perry's Band

Well, I never thought the roads of Katy Perry and Rush would ever cross, but here it is. From her performance on June 19, 2009 at the Hurricane Festival at Eichenring, Scheeßel, Germany. And to boot, it's not Tom Sawyer, or Closer To The Heart or YYZ. No. It's Cygnus X-1, arguably the most "proggy" song Rush has ever composed, played by a pop star. Wow. Just too weird.

@CGLmusic Fair enough, so why ask for recognition? kinda hypoctie....if they took the good money fine, but it isn't "sad" they aren't getting recognition.

@leeharveyosmosis - Sessionists don't really choose who they play for, they get hired by agents and stuff.. They may or may not like the music they are playing, but the money they get is too good fo them to turn down..

@CGLmusic

How so? They chose to play pop music and people like what they like.
