Indeed - brilliant local band for me way back. Never anticipated the future success they've had. If you already haven't done so, check out the other tracks from "Clockwork Angels" most show up on sidebar of clip I posted
Pretty much from the beginning. I emigrated here in late '71. was living in Willowdale - suburb of Toronto - in 73 & somehow heard a single on local radio - Rush's cover of Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away". Stones had done a cover too in about '63-'64 cover. Buddy Holly has always been my favourite singer/composer...probably always will be. Hence I found out which local pubs/clubs Rush were playing & checked 'em out. They were raw, but the rest ishistory & mucho fame.
