    Hmm, I thought that too. Mebbe Alex has a big legal bill to pay......:D Still, not complaining (nodding2fingers) What do you think of the track? I've got it on repeat - they've certainly rediscovered some form!!!!

    Not bad.

    Not up there with 2112 on first listen but definitely worth another go

    No thanks

    Three and half hours of Rush on the 30th Anniversary tour was one and half too long

    Funnily enough ...

    I was listening to Hemispheres today and thought how great it still sounded. Then I stuck 2112 on and thought how dated it was. As for Power Windows ....</p>

    I am definitely a '78-'81 kind of Rush fan. Not that bothered after Moving Pictures/Exit Stage Left.</p>

    RE: Blasphemer!!

    Maybe its me but I've seen a few bands over the years play over 3 hours and with the exception of Blue Oyster Cult at Manchester Freetrade Hall in 1977 they've all been a drag ,invariably at least an hour is filler
