I wonder if RUSH fans realize that “Vital Signs” can be seen as one of the most significant tributes to Neil Peart. The band members know this; they feel it. You just have to look at their reverent final pose, it gives you goosebumps!

When the song came out in 1981, I was blown away – the nod to The Police, Neil’s clever lyrics, his rebellious drum arrangement, and the anthemic finale.

Interesting #RUSH interview in the Toronto Star today:

#GeddyLee (73): "Life on the road at our age is very, very difficult. We’re thrilled with how well the show is going, but when we’re walking back after a three-hour show, we’re walking very slowly. I have an hour and a half of bliss after each show before the pains start to creep in. Every show is a 48-hour cycle of preparation. It’s an endurance test and we’ll see if we survive it."

From last night in Toronto: “Caravan” is one of the newer RUSH songs where I find the first half boring. But the instrumental part is interesting and energetic, as always. If they write new material (which they surely will), I hope they work with better producers again.

RUSH in Toronto, show 2 of 4. It’s funny how people filming with their cell phones think it’s essential to capture the entire screen. But what I find interesting here is that the projection is perfectly in sync. That’s great for the concert film, but how is that even possible? Are they now using excellent wireless connections instead of kilometers of cables? BTW, the ending is cute :)

The 4 RUSH concerts in Toronto are being filmed! Given the huge amount of great, unedited smartphone videos out there, I hope the concert film won’t have those insanely fast cuts.

“Headlong Flight” has become one of my favorite live songs. It’s just way too long – it would be even cooler as a trashy, punk-style short version!
