I was in the front row at that gig.

That's awesome, really is. The Hemispheres tour was great. I saw them about a month before this show in the USA. It's too bad there isn't more available from this show or others from this era. They had a monster live sound back in 78, 79 and 80. Add the great songs and musicianship and it added up to some great shows.

Holy Shite Geddy could hit some high notes back then

It's actually amazing, how after about 5 years since their release of their debute album, Rush, they managed to release 3 more albums, amazing ones, and appear in THE Pinkpop Festival. All in that range of 1825 days (5 years)!

So they played 2112, finished with La Villa Strangiato, then started 2112 again? I'm not really sure there... Can anyone explain to me please?

@mr1wal I agree with you on that..Rush was much better live during this period before moving pictures,''Moving pictures was perfect when it came out but this is the best years for Rush period.Before 81

Nothing like playing with a big metal pole in the middle of the stage. Talk about a hazard.

Wow, thank you mr1wal for this incredible piece of footage. What a nice little gem! Wish the entire concert were somewhere to be watched.

If you're gonna compare a RUSH Song, you compare it to every other song ever written and recorded... that wasn't made by RUSH...
