In 1983 I saw Rush twice at Wembley. One night I had tickets in Row D, so, in a state of excitement, I took my camera along. Turned out I was in Row D of the back section, which was a major disappointment. Still, I took a couple of photos anyway, but they turned out as rubbish as I had expected so I discarded them. I found them again recently and, despite their total crapness, I realised I quite liked them as they reminded me of the gig. You may as well have a look. You can just about make Alex and Geddy out in one, and that�s definitely a Moving Pictures backdrop I can see in the other. |

I had to include something on Rush after all, them being the greatest band in my own personal music history. I first saw them on May 4 1979 (my 18th birthday) and went on to see them many more times, including one night of the two legendary Bingley Hall dates later in �79. To compensate for the lack of quality in the photo department I�ve also included a some signed photos. In 1980 I saw them at Hammersmith again and Southampton Geaumont and on this tour I hung around by the stage door and the fans were allowed in to get autographs and have a brief chat if they were bold enough. I got 3 sets of autographs from 2 shows by going round twice at Hammy Odeon - and damn exciting it was too. |
