I saw them during this concert at the old Boston Garden. They sound better in concert than the studio, and that is what they are famous for---their live shows. That's how they survived early on without radio play. I have been a fan since Hemishperes (78 I believe). Used to be the Best Band Ever!!! Now I don't know with that garbage they put out after SIgnals. A Shame. But their concerts are still the best (R30, Live in RIo, etc).

I feel the same. I come from the Moving Pictures era. I mostly listen to PRE Signals RUSH.

Live in Rio blew my mind away. I think RUSH' song line up catered to what the people wanted to hear. Notice how most of the tunes RUSH played were before SIGNALS.

I thought I would never see NATURAL SCIENCE live....and there it was...One of my favorite tunes from RUSH. I got up and played the AIR GUITAR like a mad man!! hahahha

I think this might be one of the greatest live recordings of all time, just look at the timing, the tempo, the accuracy, the flawless perfection...

[s0undch4s3r]

I agree...it's one of the best live recordings ever. I think the all time greatest audio was done by Genesis on their Live Seconds Out Album.

Only my opinion though.

Rush Rules!!!

Cheers!

Awesome Song! Def the best 3 piece band ever, possibly the best band ever, and still not in rock and roll hall of fame.

Good post. I might add that the original Taurus pedals pre-date MIDI by almost 10 years though.

[jevimetal13]

Only Geddy Lee can kick ass while playing bass, at the same time as singing high-pitched notes, then switch to keyboards in a second, then to jumping around the stage, then use MIDI pedals. ONLY GEDDY CAN DO THAT!

[myg0tBUTTPLUG]

Geddy Lee with that BADASS Rickenbacker with the Godlike drumming from Neil Peart......TOTAL AWESOMENESS!!!

[Obelix5150]

Yes for Xanadu at the end! Flawless performance.
