One night way back in 1975 I witnessed some of the greatest Rock and Roll I have ever seen! This trio called Rush was amazing.
Neil Peart is still one of the best drummers I've ever seen and he has been voted by some people as the greatest drummer of all time. His drum set grew bigger every time I saw them!
Inspired by Keith Moon I would say because of the way he played, but not as crazy of a guy!
Neil Peart died a few weeks ago when a brain tumor took him from us. He was only 67 years old, too young for this legend to die.
Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, his band mates, haven't played in a few years. I suspect that is probably because that was when Neil said he was going to focus on his medical treatment for his brain tumor.
Prayers to Neil, his family and to the Rush family.
Enjoy a look back at 1975.
Thanks,
