Show number 2 in my summer concert series will be these GODS on June 30th @ Riverbend in Cincinatti, Ohio

This will be the 13th time I've seen them over the decades. I literally get moved to tears several times during their live shows. It becomes VERY spiritual for me. I often wonder, and upset myself when I think about these guys aging and their ultimate mortality. They have been the background music for my entire life. Seriously.

I love you Geddy, Alex, and Neil. You are family to me. kiss

I start with one of my top 3 fav songs:


Not in my top 3 but probably 5. Also the class of 86 song! Hells yeah! Listen to the words! Listen!

Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson

I turn my back to the wind
To catch my breath,
Before I start off again
Driven on,
Without a moment to spend
To pass an evening
With a drink and a friend

I let my skin get too thin
Id like to pause,
No matter what I pretend
Like some pilgrim --
Who learns to transcend --
Learns to live
As if each step was the end

Time stand still --
Im not looking back
But I want to look around me now
See more of the people
And the places that surround me now

Freeze this moment
A little bit longer
Make each sensation
A little bit stronger
Experience slips away...

I turn my face to the sun
Close my eyes,
Let my defences down --
All those wounds
That I cant get unwound

I let my past go too fast
No time to pause --
If I could slow it all down
Like some captain,
Whose ship runs aground --
I can wait until the tide
Comes around

Make each impression
A little bit stronger
Freeze this motion
A little bit longer
The innocence slips away...

Summers going fast --
Nights growing colder
Children growing up --
Old friends growing older
Experience slips away...




Time for probably what is my favorite RUSH song ever. I love the composition of this song. And listen to Geddy's bass, melodic.


Just cuz you gotta have instrumental


And for the encore. Yes, it usually is their encore.




Now you share.
