Finally, and for @Bronze , it was this, very specifically, that first spun me on my head for Rush. I heard it on a friend's "All the World's a Stage" album and was hooked.

I think I was maybe 14-15 years old (or thereabouts). I've never looked back since.

Regrets, I have none (at least where Rush is concerned).

"And the meek shall inherit the earth."


Yeah, that live recording will do it. First time I heard Rush was at a house party in 1975. They were playing (as it turned out) their first album. Loved it but never found out who it was until maybe a couple months later. I was at my bud's house and he played it and I'm like, "That's it!". Then I found out they had two other albums (Fly By Night and Caress of Steel). I was hooked. Then one night WXRT (a B-side radio station in Chicago) played 2112 in it's entirety. It was a couple weeks before it was released to the public back when radio stations got the pre-listens. I was finished. They actually spoiled me so bad that it was hard for me to get into rock n roll after that so I did a hard turn toward jazz in 1984. I never did fully jump back into R&R except for Rush and maybe some other bands to a slighter degree...mostly WXRT who would play unknowns with great music.

This was one of my very first Provaris, which I bought as soon as the black ones dropped, back in early 2012. It's been through Hell, but is still kicking (that pic is from tonight).

The tank's a newer jobber (Nauti 2 or 3 Mini, or something like that). It's good.

These old Provis are absolute tanks though.
