| 1. I have been a RUSH fan for the last 20+ years |
|
Since high school. The album "Signals" came out and the song "Subdivisions" really resonated with me, I could relate to it very easily. Although my musical tastes have expanded since then to include blues, fusion, and some classical. Rush still remains a staple in my music diet. Favorite album? Hmmmm, I would have to say "Moving Pictures". I see that as their magnum opus. Some may disagree though. I was incredibly relieved to see that Neil Peart was able to keep his sanity intact and later remarried. The band is actually going to be playing in my area this coming July. Tickets are still available I believe. Just might go. This would probably be the 6th or 7th time I'd be seeing them live.

| 5. Last time I saw them I think was " Test for Echo" |
|
I am pretty sure it was in Great Woods in Massachusetts, now the Tweeter Center(I think). If memory serves me correctly I was able to see the show on some company passes that no one else wanted. "Heck! I'll take em!" was the response I gave. What was even better is that I was given VIP parking passes so I didn't have to deal with the mad rush out of the parking lot. As I recall it was perfect night for a concert. FYI-saw Jimmy Buffet there twice. I try to pay pretty close attention to what Alex uses for guitars. When I first saw them he was in his Stratocaster stage, later he used these guitars from a company called 'Signature' whom has been long out of business. Last time I saw him he was using PRS guitars. Now he's pretty much come full circle and is pretty much using Gibsons in his instrument lineup.

| 7. Been a Rush fan since 1978. I've seen them every tour at least once, most multiple times |
|
They are the best group, IMO.

They are a very talented band. I wish I could be one of those people that could love Rush, but then I can't stand Getty Lee's voice.

Heard 'em first on Fly By Night. Saw 'em first on the 2112 tour. I'd never heard or seen anything like it. They've evolved as a band over the years in a very good way. I strongly recommend 'em!

| 11. Saw the boys again last night at Nokia Theater in LA. 3rd Row Center Seats were awesome. |
|
I'll upload some photos later we took with our cell phone camera. These guys rock. I saw the drummers for Foo Fighters and the Red Hot Chili Peppers side stage rocking out. Seeing them this Sunday in Irvine CA, my 4th show on the Snakes and Arrows Tour. San Diego, Toronto, LA, Irvine. Might see them again in Toronto in July.
