Todays will also be a double since I can't get it out every day. I'm doing doubles to try to avoid mailers cutting mail off or bouncing. Unfortunately, I can't keep them below 20K each, as someone had asked. Sorry! Next, there is t-shirt info mail in one of today's digests. This is info on ORDERING them, so keep your eyes peeled if you want one. Also, remember that there is a new newsgroup, alt.music.rush, on Usenet; go fer it! rush-mgr ---------------------------------------------------------- Date: Tue, 21 Apr 1992 16:14:05 -0500 From: Michael Silverman <cubsfan@camelot.bradley.edu> Subject: The NMS and alt.music.rush Now with two crowded arenas to discuss Rush (the National Midnight Star) and alt.music.rush) the question is: which one should I read? Well, the way I see it, you can compare the National Midnight Star to the New York Times....established, high light to heat ratio, more in-depth articles, more seriousness. The comaraderie in the NMS is also extraordinary, unmatched by most other mailing lists. On the other hand, alt.music.rush is sort of like USA Today: shorter articles, more fluff...light, yet filling reading. The best thing about alt.music.rush is the super short turnaround time, allowing for fast discussions. Another advantage is "new blood" making new posts about many items never discussed in the NMS, such as the "Red Sector A supports the Gulf War" thread and that looong thread on the meaning of the Trees, threads like this would be nearly impossible to sustain on the NMS. The solution? Read both! More Rush, same low price! The NMS and alt.music.rush should make for some damn happy Rush fans on the net; I know I am. -- cubsfan@camelot.bradley.edu "One likes to believe in the freedom of baseball" - Geddy Lee ---------------------------------------------------------- Date: Tue, 21 Apr 1992 20:03 EST From: LIZAK98@SNYBUFVA.CS.SNYBUF.EDU Subject: Street names Heres one for the "Get a life", or "Only a Rush fan would find any significance in this" department: Over Spring Break I visited my aunt in Phoenix Arizona (nice place!)... anyways, we drove down to Tuscon one afternoon and along the way we stopped for lunch in a town called "Casa Grande"... we were heading towards the restaurants and I notice "PEART STREET"...

I have also seen copies at record shows. Cost: I paid $35. I have seen them selling for from $25-$40. Date of Recording: 12-7-91, at Madison Square Garden, NYC Set list (with comments) Force 10 (4:38) Very shaky, sound fades in and out for a while, the song itself is quite forceful (no pun intended!) Limelight (4:22) Sound quality improves a little. OK. Freewill (3:02) Good...this song goes right into... Distant Early Warning (5:34) which starts out a little bit differently than in past shows...very good sounding Time Stand Still (6:06) Including 15 seconds of ticking clocks at the beginning. Good. Finally, Geddy talks, then they play... Dreamline (5:07) and then Bravado (7:03) Except for a brief fade out at the beginning, excellent rendition. Includes the great extended ending Roll the Bones (6:05) Muy Excellente Show Don't Tell (6:21) Includes the 30 sec or so "magician" intro, which loses something on CD, but the song itself is done very well Big Money (6:39) Good...like Niels cool little "solo" at the end! Ghost of a Chance - - 'Ghost of Dance' on the album :-) (5:25) Subdivisions (4:09) the new version...changed beginning, which I like a lot, but the 2nd verse is skipped, which I don't like...very good rendition of what's there, though. The Pass (4:56) Beautiful live! that's all folks, about 70+ minutes of music. Overall, the sound quality, except for what I noted, is superb for a non-soundboard show. The bass is too high, but that can be rectified easily by an equalizer or by turning the bass down on you player. A little tinny-sounding, but overall, damn good! A few notes on the disc itself: a Picture disc! (well sort of) The disc is beautifully decorated...with purple and blue flowers! The album cover has a picture of a large housefly on it, on a purple background. It's worth getting! This is the first "real" non-official Rush recording released on CD since the Pinkpop festival. (all the Grace Under Pressure bootlegs are just off the video) and in my opinion it is one of the best. Just a note: Don't send me mail asking to me if I can buy you a disc and send it to you. I'm not a retailer! However, if you have GOOD-quality Rush shows of your own, I will trade tapes, just drop me a line!

As mentioned it is a Dean Markley. It actually is all black on both sides. It has the word RUSH written on one side in the manner in which it is on the cover of RTB. On the other side is Alex's signature with a gold tint. I also have a pick from the Presto tour and it is white all around. On one side it says Dean Markley and on the other it has Al's signature. BTW, according to Mick Burnett of of SOR, the BBC did indeed record the Friday night show at Wembley Arena. In addition, he informed me that Much Music interviewed Al and shot some live video in Wembley at the Saturday show for an upcoming news feature on the boyz on Much Music in Canada.

Rush has been coming out with videos for their singles since at least Signals, and videos are designed to catch a person's attention on MTV or some other station to increase a band's popularity. Also, the fact that they are releasing singles to begin with is an attempt to attract listen- ers; if they were only out for the good of their old-time fans, they wouldn't have to publicize the fact that they had released a new album. Let's face it, rock bands are out there to make money. That's why they go on tour and sell overpriced t-shirts and posters. What makes Rush different from many other bands is that they are talented and that they have some sense of artistic integrity. However, that doesn't put them above making a song for mass-appeal and releasing it as a single. Why has Rush changed much over the years? Why did Rush make such a big change from AFTK to Permanent Waves? Times were changing, and Rush changed with them. I enjoy their music - that's why I listen to them. But I can't deny that they are looking for a wider audience. -Greg Davis gdavis@juliet.caltech.edu ---------------------------------------------------------- Date: Tue, 21 Apr 1992 23:57 EST From: ROLLIN' THE BONES <00JJGUSKE@LEO.BSUVC.BSU.EDU> Subject: Re: 04/21/92 - The National Midnight Star #471 I found an excellent poster at the local Musicland. It was a poster with Roll the Bones logo, Wide shot of all three, the dancing bunnies, and close ups of all three. One strange thing, is that the pictures are from the 'Presto' tour.

Shishak) Subject: To drink the milk of paradise Date: Tue, 21 Apr 92 22:44:43 CDT Fellow RUSHians: I'm a very new "subscriber" to the NMS, which one of your older members led me to. A fairly new RUSHian, I really enjoy and have learned a lot about the Boyz from the stuff here, even if some of the entries are crap. With all the in-depth analysis you do on various songs, may I suggest a look at "The Manhattan Project?" It is rich in the usual literary devices as well as historical allusions. e.g. Take the line "build the best big stick to turn the winning trick" among other things is a reference to President Roosevelt's statement of "speak softly, but carry a big stick," regarding foreign policy. There's so much more, so keep looking and drink deep.

I guess he is saying that regular old folks like us who hold these people in awe and think that they're great don't realize the kind of pressure that the geniuses of our time feel. "They" would probably love to be regular old folks. Maybe, I've got the idea, maybe not. I can see Neil tipping back his Moosehead and chuckling about this right now...(grin) "There is no safe seat at the feast..."

Rush skipped by Lubbock, Texas when they passsed through here in February, but a petition was drawn up and enough names were gathered to get the concert promoters to ask Rush to play here on the next time around. Anyhow, I think it's already been posted, but the current scheduled date is June 10th, at the Lubbock Municipal Colliseum. (spelling?) It's really intelligent of people to hold a Rush concert in the summer in a college town (Texas Tech) when most of the students won't be here! I guess it's better than nothing, even though I'll miss the show. Have a good one...

Does anyone know for sure? And is this person his wife? Actually, my favorite Geddyism is the way he changes the syncopation of the lyrics during the chorus of Limelight. I cant quite reproduce what he does in a written description, you just have to hear it. I dont know of any recordings of it, but everytime I've seen 'em in Indy, he did it.

Stewart" <UN041014@WVNVAXA.WVNET.EDU> Subject: Pitt,Lakeside park Hello, once again world, Big news of the day is that RUSH has been confirmed to appear at the Star Lake Amphitheater on June 21!!! And I quote(from an article one of my co-worker posted on the wall) "Rockers Rush will one of the featured acts at the [Star Lake] amphitheater." I missed their first date in Penns. thank God for second chances. By the way, since it is late in their tour, has anyone heard if the boyz are slowing down? For all those debating the existance/location of Lakeside Park... Yes it exists (and was the inspiration for the song). As for where it is located, I don't know Canada so I can't tell for sure. But if someone who does would listen to Lakeside park on ATWAS the intro gives some good clues. As for the live vs. studio debate, I vote for live. On the live albums I have so far, I've noticed that they don't loose any quality in the music (the sign of true talent). Also, they seem to get more energy from a good audience and it comes through in their music. Well that's all my ramblings for today. Kevin L. Stewart, Rush-o-phile. ---------------------------------------------------------- From: "Steven W. Kinne" <kinnes@unvax.union.edu> Subject: Oldies, Top 40, and Primus Date: Wed, 22 Apr 92 11:39:07 EDT Hello again, NMSers... I wanted to address a few posts from a previous issue, but didn't note exactly who I'm replying to... so you know who you are... listen up!! =) Someone mentioned Rush oldies and the viability of them performing ancient tracks in concert. I totally agree with the argument that Rush rehashing their old trax would be a stagnant thing, and wouldn't be all that good... it would be kind of like the Steve Miller Band's latest tours consisting of no new music, just basking in their past glory (which isn't a bad thing, but is definitely not a Rush thing). I think their current attitude towards their old material is the best... making medleys of old trax is showing new facets to their previous work, and is just mighty cool. Also, one should note that their tours are not for the express purpose of pleasing their devout fans... and as much as I would die to hear them perform "The Necromancer" or "Hemispheres" live on a new tour, I know they won't... because the tour's only purpose is to promote their latest album... Another person mentioned Rush and their relationship with the Top 40... believe it or not, Tom Sawyer and Subdivisions never made it onto the Top 40 charts... as far as I know, the only Top 40 song ever produced by Rush was New World Man (which as far as I know was actually a filler track produced to add about 3 minutes to the Signals album and please their record label)... so the idea of Rush producing songs with only the idea of getting them on the charts is quite silly, as even their most popular songs ever never hit the charts... they just don't think like that! The last order of business is Primus... I've heard a lot of banter regarding the decision to take on this strange band as Rush's opening group... all I can say is that this is quite a logical decision from where I stand! Both of these bands share a loose attitude towards music, although they pursue it in different ways... I'm sure Geddy and the lead singer of Primus have a lot to talk about! As far as liking them as an opening band, that's all a matter of opinion... I fell sad that I didn't get the chance to catch Primus on this tour (I was instead awe-struck at that guitar virtuoso, Vinnie Moore... NOT!!!) so that I could give my two cents... but oh well!! I'm done babbling now... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steven W.

I was watching television a while back, and Ray Bradbury's Theater was on. In the show, people would look out into the distance and see the city of their dreams. One guy goes out there and looks out and sees Xanadu. He then quotes the complete 'Kubla Khan' poem. Well, it's slightly Rush related! I was interested by the talk of classical music recently. Last year, me and one of my professors here exchanged albums for a while. I gave him my collection of the 'best' of Rush, and he gave me music by a composed called Mahlar. Mahlar was quite good, actually, to my suprise. It contained much of the intermingled melodies typical of many Rush songs. I was truly suprised, when my professor's favourite was 'Bastille Day'! I expected him to like 'La Villa Strangioto' or 'Xanadu' better. I heard a radio interview with Neil Peart a while back called 'One on One'. The interview was an hour long, but I missed the first half. I intend to transcribe my tape of the second half for you guys and gals, but it will probably take a while. - "You can make me smile in the end" Ron@convex.esd.mun.ca ---------------------------------------------------------- Date: 22 Apr 1992 13:14:07 -0400 (EDT) From: DTG@WVNVAXA.WVNET.EDU Subject: Rush in Pittsburgh Since there was some concern expressed over the Star Lake tour date of June 21, I thought I'd throw in my $.02.

Dribblings Boy it's been a long time since I posted to here, but then again, I've got a stack of digests on my desk over 7 inches tall that I have yet to go through, so it's no wonder I'm so far behind. Some comments: villa_t@ultarr.cs.uwa.oz.au mentioned Soundblaster .VOC files. I've recetly found the wonder of Soundtracker files for the Amiga, and how wonderful they sound through my Macintosh, unlike the MacSounds in the Syrinx archives. (Sorry, mine just dosn't play them well.) Does anyone know of any Amiga .MOD files of Rush songs, with or without the voices? Doug White mentioned a computer program that would cut songlists up to fit onto tapes and such... I would truly appreciate the source for this program being mailed to me, or a complete program. Dylan Kaufman mentioned a list of stations carrying Rockline. I believe one station left out of your list was Terre Haute, Indiana's WZZQ (107.5). They, too, carry the show, and it's in a more complete form than WFBQ's (94.7) broadcast, I believe. Kevin Kiel mentioned Yes and ELP in concert Friday...were you speaking at Deer Creek, Kevin? I hadn't heard anything about it previous and would have loved to catch the show. Oh well. Oh, and yes, I will have fun at Deer Creek! That's about it for now...I still have 7 inches of mail to go through so I'm sure to have more later... Until then, Roll the Bones!
