But Denis also said their relationship wasn't anything deep!

Is this some reference to their manhood...? That's a bit below the belt, Uwe...

I had a friend that saw Rush in their last bar gig in Toronto before going on tour to support their first album. John Rutsy was still playing drums. I would have loved to have seen that!

I'd have liked to have seen Rush back in those days... John Rutsey passed two years back now, just short of his 56th...

I saw them open for KISS in '76 or so.  They were actually pretty bad.  By the time I got to open for them during Caress of Steel, they were really good.  Peart definitely helped solidify and alter their direction for the better.

Nice tour to have opened for them...! 8)

Curiously, I still do not have the first LP on CD, though I have all the others (excluding compilations)

I still have not seen Rush but hope to catch them on their upcoming North American tour.  They are going to be playing Moving Pictures in its entirety!  My first taste of Rush was Caress Of Steel.  I had been hanging out at my girlfriends house back in '75 and remember this strange guitar sound coming from her older brothers room.  I ended spending more time with the older brother listening to Rush!

I saw Rush during the Roll the Bones tour with Primus as a support @ Wembly Arena. I just walked around for 2 days after the show with my mouth agape catching flies. I'd heard it all before but somehow seeing it live made it real.

Ha... I was at that gig, too

My best memories of seeing Rush are the white rabbits that appeared out of nowhere (they made Harvey look decidely tiny) and the tour when they showed the Countdown video for the first time - never seen so many dropped jaws...

They first toured the UK in '77 sort of in support of ATWAS - only time I saw GL use the blue tear-drop precision - I bought the monster program book on the last UK tour - nearly had all of the originals, including the first; still sort of made (no) sense (to my wife)... ;D

I'm fairly certain that the first time I saw Rush they played 2112 in it's entirety - I call this the Kimono phase.

And, yes, I had a Kimono :-[

In '77 they played all but the acoustic interlude... for their 30th anniversary tour (UK 30 years - 2007, not the 30r shows) they played the complete side...

Oh yeah... a big regret for the RTB tour was not buying the full front skull shirt... never seen it up on the 'bay, either...
