I had a bit of a rock star moment this morning with one of our local residents. Went into the village to collect my post and as I was exiting the car park, the car a couple in front of me got stuck on the icy slope. Me and the chap in front of me got out to push the stuck car. Looked up and I was pushing the car with some help from David Gilmour of Pink Floyd fame. Said a few quick words to him. Nice start to the day Cool

Re Rush albums what Lontano said.

Some additional observations:-
Some people have trouble with Geddy Lee's Voice, I find it adds to their style so much,it changes over time to be come less "strident/high', but I almost look on them as an instrumental band, they are 3 fantastic musicians.

The first Rush album Rush had John Rutsey, replaced on later albums by Neil Peart.
The nesxt 2 Fly By Night and Caress of Steel, were still tending to their heavier rock style for some of the track, but many of the "proggy" style tracks were coming through and they still play many of them live still.

2112 is the "classic" prog concept album.
They have released many Live albums, All the Worlds a Stage,Exit..Stage Left, Show of Hands, Rush in Rio and Snakes & Arrows all very good (noisy audience on R In R)

Hemispheres and Permanent Wave are both good albums
Moving Pictures is excellent , includes the amazing YYZ.
Signals and Grace Under Pressure I like but their style is changing, this is the beginning of their so called "keyboards" era.
I am a fan as you may gather and have all their main albums, but as I just discovered a2009 release of the 1984 Grace tour has been released.


Showed her your replies and it put a smile on her face (Hmmm, I'm more popular than you are on that forum! Big Grin )

Thanks guys; it's going to be a great weekend Winker
