...to watch more of Rush in Rio.

Watching Neil Peart play drums makes me wish I could, too.

The guy is tireless, intense, incredibly skilled...he's a fucking rock back there.

For 2+ hours... :blink:

I saw Rush when they played The Apollo, Glasgow.

My memories of the event are .... hazy.

I may have posted this before.

I saw (ha) them in Detroit way back in another lifetime, under similar circumstances...late-'70s, I think.

Don't remember a thing after By-Tor... :blink:

I'll save "Rio..." for later; Mrs. j2 has come home-she doesn't like loud music played loudly.

He is a beast. I have played for 16 years and I am still amazed at
his skill, and I'm not to shabby myself.

@JPaul- There is an Apollo Glasgow? :blink:

Peace bd

That's the term-beast.

I wonder if he'd have developed his style in a group with more than three players?

His riffing and filling is the equivalent of a lead on guitar.

Add the fact that he is the most prolific lyricist of the three, and an acolyte of Ayn Rand into the bargain...

I wasn't aware until I bought the DVD that he's had quite a bit os sadness in his life in recent years; his 22-year-old daughter was killed in an auto-accident in late '97, and then his wife died after a bout with cancer in early '98.

He was coaxed from seclusion to tour in '02 for Vapor Trails.
