The official Instagram of Rush frontman Geddy Lee posted the following photo and snippet. The photo is actually of Lee and Alex Lifeson playing their first gig with then-new bandmate Neil Peart. Also of note is the fact that the group had to have their equipment in coke crates due to not having proper storage at the time. Geddy Lee was savagely disrespected by Rush fan at restaurant recently.
Strong memories abound whenever I return to Pittsburgh..why? Many reasons, but most importantly it was on August 14 1974 that Alex and I played our very first gig with the “new guy”… Neil Peart. As the opening act for Uriah Heep and Manfred Mann’s Earth Band we got to play all of 26 mins! We were so “green” that we didn’t even have proper road cases yet! We had to make due to with “Coke crates” for cables and whatever we could manage to protect the gear…Rush’s first “Official American Tour” was underway and I’ll never forget it… If any of you “yinzers” were there let me know!
