I'm sat here scotch in hand, late night tv flickering before my eyes, rock playing and ears ringing. Tonight I witnessed a Rush covers band play. I have the classic live album from these guys "Exit Stage Left" Never a better drum solo. Only I thought they are a 3 piece. Imagine my surprise when 5 entered the stage. Maple cured bacon must be big in Canada. A girl on keyboard. Not the Rush I know. Tracks were good though.
The guys started with the Spirit of Radio. Even the most diehard anti Rush fan knows this one. They might not look the thing but the music and voice are strong. Other classics included Tom Sawyer and of course La Villa Strangiato. I got a bit confused when a shout seemed to my ears to be "three hills" . I thought he was talking about the singers figure. Turns out the track was Freewill. All where delivered well. Closer to the Heart finished the set. My favourite Red Barchetta was missing. I'll get over that.
