Wolfgang didn't have far to search for that one. He's just playing the Grace Under Pressure Tour DVD, or maybe the bonus CD that came with the Rush Replay 3-concert DVD set.

So, if you like the concert, you can pick up a copy cheap! Good stuff, to be sure.

Anything RUSH is good.

I listened to 2112 last night on vinyl, good stuff.

All this Rush talk reminds me that they were one of the first groups I ever saw in concert. That was way back before they were really well known. I think it was their fly by night tour, but it could have been just before the release of that album.

I saw them in a tiny arena in London and was maybe 15 or 20 rows back from the stage. Tickets were dirt cheap, something like $20.

I had no clue how lucky I was.

My first concert was Elvin Bishop and tickets were 6 bucks

Oh man, my first concert....well lets see, it was either The Oak Ridge Boys when my folks took us down to Branson, MO on vacation as a little boy, or Elvis in the mid 70's when he came to Des Moines, can't remember which was first.

OK, you win.

Now I feel like my Dad. He used to tell me about 5 cent beer.

I also had a chance to see Genesis and the Stones in London in similarly small except I had no clue who they were and what good music was. I was stuck in the AM music world at the time.

Probably would have been less than $10 Fred. I remember going to a Genesis concert in TO around 80-81 and we were pissed cecause tickets were $20, first time we'd ever seen such 'outrageous' prices!!
