I saw Rush on the Hold your fire, presto, roll the bones, counterparts, test for echo tours. usually twice because they played baltimore arena and cap center. Test for echo I saw them at the woodlands. That’s enough for me.
Related. Canada's other power trio, Triumph is set to reunite and do a Noth American tour. I was surprised to hear this. Thought Rick Emmit was dealing with prostate cancer.
I have heard various conflicting rumors about the Triumph reunion tour. Rik Emmet (singer, guitarist) just last year announce his retirement from touring. He said that he would do one-off shows but absolutely no tours. Gil Moore (singer, drummer) hasn't played drums regularly for decades and is not physically abled to play a 2 hour set. Mike Levine (bassist) reportedly has poor health and no business touring. The three original members can not tour. It is just not a possibility. That has not stopped a promoter from putting a tour together, mainly with a Triumph tribute band featuring Phil X (guitarist member of Bon Jovi). The plan is that the tribute band performs the whole show, with Rik and Gil sitting in for a handful of songs and ... guessing here ... the encore. Levine will be at some shows, but will have a video message played at the rest. This tour is definitely a buyer beware sitch. I suspect the shows will be great ... just not exactly what some will expect. The opening act for the tour will be April Wine ... not sure about many original members will be participating. Since this is a Rush thread, here is a new-to-me Rush video ... bastards!!! It is worth click through to watch.
I can't believe I got the sounds of Rush and Triumph confused. But I didn't start it, read 4 posts above.
It's a great song...can't think of another they did I do love the all white shirts and pants look though. They look like a bunch of house painters rockin' out
40 years of listening to this album and the hair on the back of my neck still stands up when I hear the opening to 2112...
