I am taking the role of the Necromancer and raising this thread from the dead...any current-day WP Rushians present?

Saw them at Saratoga Performing Arts Center years ago during the Snakes & Arrows Tour. To date I have all their albums plus 30 or so bootlegs.

Definitely a Rush fan here. I think their 1970s output was their best overall although they continued to put out good stuff after that point. I saw them 3 times between 2007 and 2013. They were excellent on all three occasions. I'd say the show that I saw them do in 2011 was the best one in terms of both performance and setlist. I was also sat right by the stage so had a great view for the whole show.

I like Rush, one of the bands that made me grateful for Canadian content laws here, it meant Rush, The Tragically Hip and a few others got heavy radio play.

One of my music teachers introduced me to their music during a lesson and I've been hooked ever since. Sure, I may have gotten into them a little late but I'm so glad that I did, as some of their songs are just fun to listen to and enjoy, whilst others really have a deeper meaning that can really connect on a personal level.

I like a lot of their songs I've heard, but never really delved into all their albums or anything like that.

I've seen them live. I really like Spirit of Radio.
