[Perform-Talk] yet another influence for me...

[Cameron Strife]

Hi. Although there are only two original members of the who left, I
have a recording of a show they put on at hyde park in London last
year and man did they rock! Roger's voice is amazing considering he's
got to be in his late sixties... Pete's guitar playing is sloppy at
times but considering his hearing damage, I think it's excusable.

It's a real shame that rush have quit large scale touring but Geddey
has a rough time with vocals these days and Neil has arthritis and
other issues. Also, he has a young child and wants to devote more time
to his family.

If there is one band that earned their retirement, it's Rush for sure.
