Scott I agree, its not even close to being pathetic.

Dave, its always a good thing to know the cause of your diseas....er....inspiration. This is way too cool and I can't wait get to the vault. Can a book a tour guide on-line?

OK, I see the difference now - the 6-string fretboard is darker wood than the bass fretboard on your longest-held one, and the opposite is true on the other one. Sergio's is light wood on both...

That is an amazing collection, Dave! And the Xanadu clip really zaps the forebrain on me too

I watched it seven times in a row before I started breathing again, it seemed. Man, I wish I could sing like Geddy could back then!

each to their own guys, but i have to say, thats the first time ive heard any rush and hopefully its the last.

Paul you must give Geddy's vocal style a chance to grow on you. That was from 25 years ago. He sings in a much much higher key these days..

hey dave, surely just for the bats. no, i tried it again, it still had the same effect on me. i like songs that are over and done with within 3 minutes, not just starting the lyrics.

saying that though ,the bit from 1.08 reminded me very much of Big Star.

Loved the clip of Xanadu. One of my all time favorite Rush songs.

Hee hee, I'm with Paul. Every time I hear Rush, I expect the video to feature munchkins, lol. Ok, I'm leaving now......

I was waiting for Olivia Newton-John to start singing. Where's she gone?

Darren, she can't sing that high, har har!

I like Xanadu off of,Im not sure,,, but I think its Exit Stage Left.

In one of the softer spots where its just Geddy and Neil, you can here the sound man turn up Ged's distortion level.

Pretty cool.

But then again I'm just nuts, crazy and pathetic like Dave.

Better be careful you guys, Ged might just show up at one of those "confluences" and open up a can of "whup-a**" on you all.

I'm speechless (at those pictures, not the thread drift content)

YEAH! Take good care of Star, Dave. Meanwhile, stay in tune (= watch you e-mail box) for a really juicy picture of my November '70 21 fretter.

I just saw the photo of Jaclyn in the email you sent me, Sérgio. You must have already wiped off all the juice by then... Jaclyn looked pretty neat and dry in that photo

At the risk of further thread drift, her "older twin" sister Susanna says she still misses Jaclyn and wants her to come over for a visit
