I can and have filled an 80-min CD-R (back in the pre-streaming days) with my fav Rush tunes & I love love LOVE it... but the only album I need is All The World's A Stage.
BOC's 1st 3 albums are classics, On Your Feet is very good, and I can fill a CD-R with my favs of everything after that.
All jmo.
I get it. I know many Rush fans who have no use for anything post Moving Pictures.
If Rush spent their entire career making various versions of 2112 or Hemispheres I would have eventually lost interest. I think many long lived 70s bands kept their sound largely unchanged over the years, not that there's anything necessarily wrong with that. I like AC/DC too, but they've essentially made the same album their whole career. Rush changed from album to album, sometimes dramatically. Take away Geddys voice and compare 1978 Hemispheres to 1984 Grace Under Pressure and you have two totally different sounds and unrecognizable as being the same band. Yet I consider both albums to be classics and in my top 5 Rush albums. It definitely cost them some fans along the way but I also think it's responsible in many ways for their diehard following.
Good discussion and it's all just different strokes for different folks.

I prefer Rush precisely because they did their 3 album prog era and moved on. Then they did their new wave-ish synth era and moved on. Then back to a more organic hard rock three piece. Then finishing their career with a near masterpiece that combined elements of all the eras.
I like BOC, but I just kind of lump them in with bands like Uriah Heep, UFO and Styx.

Not sure, but
Blue Oyster Cult > Rush
To each his own.
But man I can think of probably 10 meh 70s bands that would be more worthy of the awful > Rush take.

A friend of mine took the original recording of Limelight, and paired it with the version off of this tour, and they were exactly the same tempo, but this version for some reason does sound slower than the original.
Interesting. I agree it sounds slower than the original.

Everyone has actually read the Durham filing, right? Especially the lefties, right?
Let's examine this portion.
QuoteThe Government’s evidence at trial will also establish that among the Internet data
Tech Executive-1 and his associates exploited was domain name system (“DNS”) Internet traffic
pertaining to (i) a particular healthcare provider, (ii) Trump Tower, (iii) Donald Trump’s Central
Park West apartment building, and (iv) the Executive Office of the President of the United States
(“EOP”). (Tech Executive-1’s employer, Internet Company-1, had come to access and maintain
dedicated servers for the EOP as part of a sensitive arrangement whereby it provided DNS
resolution services to the EOP. Tech Executive-1 and his associates exploited this arrangement by
mining the EOP’s DNS traffic and other data for the purpose of gathering derogatory information
about Donald Trump.)1. Among. Durham states that the DNS data he cites in the filing is AMONG the exploited data. In other words Durham has more.
2. Data was mined from a "particular healthcare provider" as well. Interesting.
3. Nobody disputes that this contractor provided this service back to the Obama Era. What Durham is saying is that this arrangement was exploited to mine the data for the purpose of gathering derogatory information about Trump. Somehow I dont think that part was in the contract.
So unless Durham also has discovered that during the Obama administration a Tech executive:
1. Mined the data and passed it along to an RNC lawyer being paid by the Trump campaign.
2. The RNC lawyer then went to the FBI as a "concerned citizen" with the derogatory information and didn't divulge his relationship with the Trump campaign when asked. Lying to the FBI.
3. All in an effort to to further a false, made up story meant to damage Obama.
If Durham has information that Trump and his lawyers/ campaign did the above then I'd want Durham to go after them too. I think most of us want all this crap out of politics no matter which "side" does it. It's called having principles.

Cool...thanks. Funny you mentioned you always thought it was a woman. This is a pretty decent Rush tribute band and the lead singer is a woman.
YYNOT are pretty good. They have put out a few albums of original material as well. The young lady in the video above recently replaced the original lead singer.

I see it's already been solved but I looked through my book Rush Wandering The Face Of The Earth and in 1974 Rush toured extensively for their debut album, but only opened for BOC twice at the very end of December in Massachusetts and Connecticut. According to Wikipedia that BOC album was mainly recorded at venues out west and for the Portland, Seattle etc dates that Rush played in 1974 they opened for Rory Gallagher.
1974 Geddy could shriek/sing much higher than she sounds in this intro, but his normal voice is a bit lower IMO. This 1974 show is only a few weeks after Neil joined the band.
To me 2007 "Geddy" sounds closer to her in this concert intro clip.
