Growing up I was a huge fan of Rush - I was always fascinated by the drumming of Neil Perth - one of the best and most influential drummers in rock history (see link - I ranked Neil as my second favourite drummer of all time). If you doubt - just take a listen to Tom Sawyer and Limelight.
On another front - what's classic rock without Pink Floyd...."The Wall" is like the 3rd biggest selling album in history and "Dark Side of the Moon" is the longest running album in history - about 15 years (770 weeks) on the charts - wow!
Also whilst in Boston I hope to catch up with fellow blogger Rob at BosGuy and his partner for dinner/drinks!
So that's classic rock weekend! With music to boot!
Anyways peeps TTYL!
I have a friend who LOVE LOVE LOVES Rush and Neil Perth.. can't beat a great drummer... pun intended.
ReplyDeleteI have seen Floyd without Waters then saw him tour Dark Side of the Moon a couple years ago. The husband talked about seeing the Wall on Friday in Boston but decided not to spend the money.. he really annoys me sometimes..ok a lot.
My only complaint about Waters was he dissed American politics too much for my liking..the music however was amazing.
[side note. one of his back up singers was Katie Kazoo who used to back up Robbie Williams.. lol]
These are some of my favorite albums. But what about Rush's 2112? That was also spectacular.
ReplyDeleteA couple of rockin' comments from some awesome bloggers...
ReplyDeleteVL - Live Rush, and Neil - I think I'll be in heaven for a while - I plan to air drum to Limelight and Tom Sawyer.
On the note of Roger Waters - some of these musicians are outspoken - sometimes they are not responsible in their views and opinions - but I want to see "The Wall" - I have so much childhood memories on the movie and the songs.
Larry - Oh yeah what memories this brings back! Their was that epic classic prog epic track which was 20 mins! I think this tour is classic Moving Pictures from what I read about it! Still a good album!
So great to connect last night. I hope you enjoyed the show on Sunday and look forward to chatting later.
