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.
Happy New Year everyone and may you all have a great, successful new year!
I've spent the past week fixing up some old photographs in Photoshop of the Doobie Brothers at Summerfest in 1973. Black and white film does not scan without a lot of issues to fix. Color is a lot easier!
Check out the guys here way back in 1973 in Milwaukee at Summerfest. It was a different time back then as you will be able to see. There is some barbed wire in front of the stage! Because of some issues at Summerfest in 1972, barbed wire was installed in front of the main stage!
The Doobie Brothers are still touring and are one of the nominees for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Always enjoyed the music of the band. Check them out from a few years back.
