Re: What song are you listening to right now?
This was the first one I listened to, was into other bands at the time. I was blown away with it, hearing it for the first time at my little brothers house no less. I was able to see them only 3 times in following years, one of them was the R30 tour in Atlanta
Rush - Moving Pictures (1982) 40th Anniversary Edition
Always had a bit of a hard job, so far as I was concerned, following the mighty Permanent Waves album and moving Rush further away from the sci-fi epics and leaning more electronica. However, as time has gone on, the album has improved more and more.
The treat though is the accompanying 2 Live discs, the complete 1881 YYZ show, previously unreleased (YYZ is the airport code for Toronto). This is the marriage between the proggy epics like A Farewell To Kings and 2112 and the newer Permanent Waves & Moving Pictures. A hometown gig, and Rush were at the top of their game.
One of those bands I never got to see, we never seemed to be in the same place at the right time, but this is part of a growing catalogue of "wish I'd bloody been there..."
