It’s pretty incredible to look at the music that was made by a band made up of just 3 members but Rush was able to build a legendary career with their small core group.

This Canadian band formed back in 1968 and got their early sound from the influences of Led Zeppelin and Cream. They got their first gig playing a coffee shop called the “Coff-In”.

Most of the lyrics to Rush’s songs were written by drummer Neil Peart and the band’s longest song was called “2112”. It was made up of seven parts and was 20 minutes and 33 seconds long.

The band has gone on to put out 24 gold, 14 platinum, and 3 multi-platinum albums and have been nominated for 7 Grammys. In 1994 they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and they continued to tour up until 2015.

I’ll be reacting to a performance of “Tom Sawyer”from the band’s highest selling album Moving Pictures. The tune is one of their most popular songs and lead singer Geddy Lee called it the band’s “defining piece of music … from the early ’80s”.

I hope you all enjoy the video and please let me know what you thought about their performance.
