    I've seen RUSH live at least 12 times! Great shows, but you are right about lacking charisma. The problem is that the whole show is carefully timed. I had the privilege of being behind the stage at Maple Leaf Gardens a few years ago, and I saw the computers in action. If you see them 2 nights in a row you'll see 2 exact shows, including very brief comments occasionally. The quality of the music though is phenominal!

    BTW, there is a new CD from them coming out next year. Personally, I'm looking forward to it.

    I almost forgot: I saw Phantom of the Opera 3 times!! The first time, Princess and I drove to Canada to see it. Then my husband and son and I drove to Canada to see it. Finally it came to Seattle and we went with a big group to see it again, at the Seattle Opera House. It was a bit disappointing. The chandelier didn't crash in that one. Technical difficulties. Still amazing music. I loved it.

    Nyt, what? You don't like county music? I have to admit my favorite is soft rock, but I was given free tickets and I sure wasn't going to waste them. I like the Judds.

    Thanks EMan - good post,

    So many I have enjoyed -

    Arthur Lee & Love - San Fran '68 - Arthur Lee - one crazy hazy.

    Curtis Mayfield - New York '68 (available on CD - recorded during the Civil rights strife in a tiny night club in NY, electric atmosphere, I was one of the only two whites there! Only an Englishman could be that stupid!

    Tim Buckley - London - '68 ( father of Jeff Buckley ) died too young.

    Jackson Browne - London '70 something

    Joni Mitchell - a few times with back stage passes - a lovely lady.

    Laura Nyro - dead but never forgotten. Enormous talent and the biggest heart in the business.

    PFM - Italian Band - most exciting guitarist I know of ( Franco Mussida )

    'IF' the best jazz/rock combo ever by far - band split in '75. Guitarist Terry Smith only has two hands apparently. Anyone from Georgia can catch him on the 29th with his quintet. I can give details.

    JAZZ

    Mike Westbrook Big band, Don Rendell ( a JW and one of the best tenors alive } Stan Tracey, Alan Skidmore, the extraordinary John Taylor.

    God, am I that old?

    U2 -- Seeing Bono live was worth the four hour drive to Montreal to see them! Wow! What an excellent light show, too! It was so funny listening to the audience singing the english lyrics with a french accent.
