• May 2023 Update: Many apoligies for the extended period of inactivity, however many big changes for Rush Archives are now in progress. This should benefit everyone, and propel the site onward in the most realistic way possible. Thank you to those who have been supporting this project, and for being patient with the methods I've so far been operating. Further details will be coming soon.

So this was my second Rush gig, and a great recording to listen to.....thanks to whoever recorded it.
I have three great memories from this show.
1. My mates and I were struggling to get to the Deeside arena, so in the end we ended up booking a taxi from Sheffield to Deeside (not cheap........)
When the taxi turned up, it was a stretch limousine, well you can imagine our reaction :D
When we arrived at Deeside, all the ticket touts and t-shirt sellers ran after the car to where we parked to sell their wares, as if we had a lot of money :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: how wrong they were............
2. Towards the end of the gig, my mate got hit on the head, and went temporally blind, I had to drag him to the back of the arena (we were right down at the front, near to Alex)
Having got him to the back of the arena (bearing in mind it was an ice rink) I had to pull my mate over the barrier.......he was twice the size of me so not easy :unsure:
3. When we returned to the taxi to return home, the taxi driver told us that he had had a wander around and got talking to the truck crew........and 3 other guys!!!!!.......yes it was Geddy, Alex and Neil, chilling out, pre gig 🤬🤬🤬
