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,

Wow!!! Blog #150!!! That is a lot of blogs and I haven't repeated one yet. Thank you all for the comments and fun with the past 150 blogs!
I try to bring you something fresh out of my collection each week and I see a lot more rock'n roll blogs to come. Indy cars will show up now and then too because I have photographed them a lot.
This week, we look at the band Rush! Photographed in Milwaukee, in 1975, and that is all I know. I just found these negatives in my closet a while back.
The negatives were in a sleeve that just said "1975". I didn't even know who the band was until I looked at them! I am usually really good at my file keeping, but not this time apparently!
Looks like the band Rush to me and my friends Heartsfield were probably opening up the show as they did a few times for Rush.
If the show looks familiar to anyone, give me the details please.
Thanks,
Rich Zimmermann
