What you need is a website where people could auction such things, where it is possible to see what such things made.

Now if only such a website existed then you'd not have to ask on here. ...

From the 70's?

They're still going - strong as ever.

Did a UK tour earlier this year - which a number of PHers attended.

As for a copy of 2112 in good nick? I'd personally guess not a lot - their biggest selling album (IIRC) - but I'm no expert at all.

Some of their biggest success was in the 1980s...

They're better than ever now. Toured last year. New DVD (blu-ray) just out. A definite must see for any Rush fan (and any musos too).


Vinyl 2112 worth virtually nothing unless you have one of the picture-discs. smile

First saw them on Hemispheres in Hammersmith '78.

Seen all their UK tours since, and was lucky enough to see them in Toronto 19 Sept 2007 (3rd Row). Greatest live band ever IMO.

I'd forgotten them till you reminded me.

Diabolical ear knives and razors.



At least Rainbow & Scorpions camped & spangled it up with catchy choruses and sparkly lycra leggings.

RUSH. Greatest band in the world. biggrin

Saw the Signals,Power Windows, and Presto tours and the first of the two recent ones. Just been watching the new DVD. Just excellent.

Took up the guitar because of Alex Lifeson - and I can actually play Spirit of Radio. Yes. With the little high-speed guitar figure that goes on and on that you have to be able to do and sing at the same time. He invented it. Took me blimmin' months of practice to be able to do it back when I was 17.
