I was 19 at that time and saw that performance, it was my first Rush concert.

This was the last performance of the European tour in 1979.
Alex Lefeson hurt his finger because he had a very wild night with his wife,
his finger came between the mattress and the bed.

Info came from: Tjerk Lammers, he was there press manager from WEA record company at that time.

  • I can't go a single ...

    I can't go a single day without watching this video. Something about Alex's hands when he plays is amazing. He has one fast baby finger.

  • Best song ever ...

    Best song ever written.
    Not only is it my favourite Rush song, its my favourite song in general.
    When listening to it, put on headphones and turn the volume all the way up. For me, it creates this feeling of solitude, and this is why this song is my favourite.
    Surprisingly, this song is one of VERY few songs written and composed solely by Lifeson.
    Most songs are written by Peart and Geddy
    haha I cant go a single day without listening to the song.
    Live versions are so good!

    The best guitar solo ever written period. This song just proves no one can sound like Alex Lifeson.

  • It's called a ...

    It's called a volume swell you turn down the the volume on your guitar all the way then you hit the note then turn the volume up on your guitar and then turn it all the way back down and then up again for the next note.
    He uses a Morely volume wha pedal instead of using the volume on his guitar but, you can do it either way.

    without a doubt this is my mostest bestus favorite RUSH song ever! if you close your eyes it paints an "Alice in Wonderland on Mescaline" trip through your imagination!!
    there will never be another band that innovated progressive Rock the way RUSH did! seen them every tour since 1984 and the last 2 have been the HARDEST that I can rememeber.... RUSH, music to live your life by......
