Thanks to all the great friends who joined on pilgrimages to Rush shows over the years, and who shared their memories and reflections on the great Neil Peart -- including CKCU's Heavy Ben, DJ Phooknüticus, J-Von, and Bill Guerrero (great call on the 01988 drum solo!)...

Thanks for listening, Gilles. Not a memorial I wanted to be doing, but since this is where we find ourselves, I figured it best to pull out all the stops and crank it up...

For those who are wondering, this recording was from a promo radio broadcast from 1980 - Permanent Waves tour in St Louis.

I think Anthem circulated it to radio stations at the time... and of course after that it made the rounds on cassette...

There have been numerous boot releases of that St. Louis show, not surprisingly.

This track was from the Hemispheres album circa 1978

Great to hear these live recordings. A few things strike me: 1) The precision of the band contrasted with the (presumed) "state of consciousness" of the average concert-goer at the time. 2) There is no faking it with these performances. In a way it legitimizes the albums vice groups that can't pull it off outside the studio. 3) Neil Peart wrote the lyrics but sang nary a word. Too busy. 4) My childhood self that freaked out over Moving Pictures (my first Rush LP) still gets giddy hearing it. RIP Neil...

Glad you enjoyed, Ben. All very good points. What might Neil Peart's singing voice have been like, had he not been so busy with the drums? (I am imagining an alternate universe in which Neil stepped out from behind the drumkit, a la Phil Collins...)

Glad I could help!
