Late Night FDL: Overture

Rush- Overture

Rush will be filming their final overture…

Rush will film their hometown shows later this month for a future live release.

They play Toronto’s Air Canada Centre on June 17 and 19 as part of what’s expected to be their final large-scale tour.

In April guitarist Alex Lifeson ruled out the idea of streaming any of the shows live as a result of their “old school” approach to performance. He said: “We want to keep it ‘that event, that concert, that congregation.’ In that sense we’ll do it a little more old-fashioned.”

But he was more positive towards the idea of releasing board mixes to those who’d attended shows, noting: “it’s a relatively easy thing to develop.”

Earlier this week Lifeson said he hoped Rush would continue to play in a limited format after the tour, and that they might have two more albums in them.

In the current edition of Classic Rock, on sale now, frontman Geddy Lee confirms the band know they’re reaching the end of the road – and he fears Lifeson’s arthritis would be the biggest factor in ending their live career.

Be nice to one another…!

    G’evening, LN pups and DOGS!

    Last night, Pluto brought up remarks Putin had made in an interview with the Italian newspaper Il Corrierre della Sera on the eve of Putin’s visit to Italy. For those interested in reading the full interview in English translation, follow the link …

    I found the whole, wide-ranging interview fascinating.

    well, I was there and remember most of it, and don’t see how you can turn this stuff into elevator music without the elevator jumping sideways as well as up and down

    There is no one in foreign policy circles that does not understand that the US is scared into desperation and self-destructive behavior as a result of its diminished global influence — which is inevitable in a multipolar world. More terrifying, still, to the declining empire is the death of the Petrodollar (triggered by the catastrophic blunder of the US-Ukraine overthrow) which effectively cuts the US Dollar off at the knees as a currency used for international trade. No longer can the US print money to pay for its imports.

    The Eastern Hemisphere and Eurasia is rising as the dominant global economy, representing the vast majority of the population and nations of the world — regardless of how much the US threatens China or Russia or Europe. In April, 2015, fifty-seven nations qualified to became the founding members of China’s powerful development bank, AIIB — from the UK to Israel, from Brazil to Russia, from Italy to Australia, and from South Africa to South Korea.

    It’s over for the US as a global hegemonic bully. The lives of Americans are rapidly changing as their standard of living balances with the rest of the world — and this is a good thing. It is happening fast, and the transformation will be much smoother if the US would simply step back from the edge of chaos, take proper care of its own people, and join the rest of the world.

    The future is unfolding right now.

    I never had an 8track. my uncle was a big-time recording engineer at Columbia Records and all my stuff was discs, mostly free ones from him or reel to reel tapes that he would copy from the studio masters for me.

    he got into a fistfight with the drummer when recording a Moby Grape album because, to his jazz fanatic ear, the snare drum sound that the drummer insisted on reminded my uncle of someone beating on a coffee can plastic lid.

    heard much the same stuff about Japan in the late 70s and much of the same was heard in the late thirties.

    never had an 8 track not because of my youth, but because of the lousy quality of the sound reproduction, starry.

    I simply played the radio in the car.

    you don’t gotta be kidding ’cause I gotta admit to it……. I played music and wanted to hear recordings that sounded like what the players were playing,

    I may not have had money for decent food sometimes, but I had good audio equipment …either because I got it second-hand or because I had a job selling audio equipment and records and got whopping discounts.

    I was young and sorta silly then and parenthood changed my priorities.

    Susan Tedeschi, Derek Trucks Band cover one of the great rock guitar songs and Trucks does a hellova job with a single guitar trying to live up to the guitar tracks of Clapton and Duane Allman.

    when I first started participating at fdl I couldn’t put links in. but a cool and kind person from San Fran ( whose handle, sadly, I’ve forgotten) repeatedly walked me through it.

    That giant sucking sound we hear? It’s US corps hoovering up non-US “temporary guest workers” on H-1B visas to replace laid-off US workers, at considerable savings – for the corps.

    This time it’s 250 IT workers at Disney-Orlando replaced by Indian “guest workers,” whom some of the pink-slipped US workers had to train for three months to do their lost jobs as part of getting promised severance packages.

    The world-wide equalization of workers’ wages is well underway.

    I come to praise Rush, not to bury other bands. I continue to be amazed that Geddy Lee is able to play the bass with such complexity and sing at the same time.
