The Twitter post had the wrong set list (correct date and location). Here’s the set list: Rush Setlist at Onondaga War Memorial Auditorium, Syracuse

Indeed, Tom Sawyer was played for all to enjoy.

they played every song from Moving Pictures except Witch Hunt which wasn't played live at that point.

Sorry to derail this thread but the mention of pre-pop Genesis reminded me of this. Love Rick Beato!

Favorite post-Gabriel album...with Foxtrot and Selling England by the Pound my faves with Gabriel.

That '64 Shelby Cobra 289 is sweet.

I would gladly accept any and all of those.

The Ohio State Marching Band paid tribute to Rush today, including a special tribute to Neil Peart. It was spectacular.

Two year anniversary. Still can't believe it. I'll raise a glass in his honor tonight.

I didn't see this here, but here is Neil working as a parts manager at his father's place just before replacing Rutsey near St. Catharines around 1973. He even attempted to convert the business to a computer database (or whatever amounted to a computer then).

The Spirit of Neil Peart

For the first time since the passing of Rush's drum god, Neil Peart, Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson speak about his legacy.

www.rollingstone.com

This is wonderfully written reflection of Neil on the two-year anniversary of his passing. Well worth the time to read as it includes some insight into his final days. Such a tragic story in that he craved a post-touring existence and then was diagnosed only 10 months into his well-deserved new life. RIP Professor.

We've taken care of everything
The words you hear, the songs you sing
The pictures that give pleasure to your eyes
It's one for all and all for one
We work together, common sons
Never need to wonder how or why

Just finished My Effin’ Life by Geddy. Loved it. Brought back a ton of emotions

I’m reading Dave Grohl’s Storyteller right now but will read My Effin’ Life after.

Me and the Mrs. went to see Geddy on his book tour in DC. It was really fascinating to hear him talk about the circumstances with Neil when he decided to retire and then the diagnosis with brain cancer. Geddy was so genuine as he reflected on how he and Alex were resentful of Neil wanting to retire, but then after the diagnosis came, how he felt selfish for thinking that way.

Since VT bumped this thread, I'll take a moment to note that "Bert Guggenmoos" is an all time hilarious name.
