Laura Secord Secondary School 1974 RUSH

[chilipeppermaniac]

The BEST 39 minutes I have ever seen and heard preserved for future Rush Lovers.
WOW those kids had no idea what they were witnessing would become one of the greatest bands ever in the next 40+ years to follow. I was a wee 10 yr old lad at the time and would not hear of them for another 4 or 5 years.

Holy Heck do I hear licks off 2112 in Alex's guitar work here.

 

[chilipeppermaniac]

YEAH OH YEAHHHHH

I'm still trying to figure out what Scrondary means...

 

[Trident]

I agree Chili. That Laura was a trip...

Thanks SP8,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, me too, This is what happens when one is relegated to now wearing reading glasses while trying to touch type but sux at it. Title successfully edited. 1st test of CAN we still do that after the changeover. The answer is yes.

My favorite era of Rush

Great stuff there again

Mitch, can you hear the parts of 2112 I hear in that "You Can't Fight It" clip I posted?

I hear it loud and clear starting at 1:03

 

[Mitch Pearrow SJMP]

Phenomenal I do like the older harder rocking Rush

 

[chilipeppermaniac]

I think I am linking Alex's playing at 13:14+ as very similar in licks and style here in this clip.

Also, I seems to hear parts of Finding my Way in that tune too.

Some folks already know this was my first Rush Album, Mitch. But WHAT an album to get my introduction to them from.
Then I got Archives which was RUSH, FLy BY Night and Caress in a 3 album set.

I would have to play it back to back to hear the similarities

My very first Rush album was all the worlds a stage, and I seen them with UFO, in the late 70’s

Caress of steel, fly by night, 2112, all great Rush albums

I took my girlfriend to see Rush in 1976 when I was 16. I had no idea how popular they were at the time because I didn't
love them myself. It was the worst crowd ever waiting for the doors to open! We were getting pushed back and forth in a sea of bodies!
Many times our feet were not even on the ground as we were caught in the shoving back and forth. It's the only time I ever felt
like I might not survive getting in the door! It could have easily been like the Who show in Cincinnati in 79!

On a good note...the show was great and I became a huge fan of the band!

I have to say I got hooked so hard by Alex's guitar playing that he is likely the greatest influence on me as I play guitars.

Sp8, it would be another 2-3 years before I would hear of Rush while in middle school at about 1978. Rush 2112,VH1 , and Nugent's Double Live Gonzo were my intro to over the top Rock N Roll

That’s pretty rough
