Love the Hemispheres/Farewell to Kings era of Rush



And of course Pink Floyd was at the peak of their powers in the mid 70s

Genesis was the 1st "Big Time" concert I went to, they were supporting Trick of the Tail"



Loved the show, but didn't really dig the music back then. I was kinda dumb back then (8th grade)

I never listened to much later than the Close to the Edge, Tales albums, but I wore those (and Yes Songs and Fragile) out.

I think I could make a solid case for The Gates of Delirium being the greatest song they ever did ...

Okay maybe not greater than CTTE ... but it's damn near it's equal.

After Relayer w/Patrick Moraz, Rick came back for Going for the One (good) and Tormato (really not too great). Believe those were 75 and 77, respectively, if memory serves. Then Jon and Rick left, leaving Squire, White, and Howe, and Drama was next, 1980 I think.
