Freewill, The #RUSH Experience, is celebrating 30 years with a concert in #Tempe #Arizona

#Freewill is a great #TributeBand I've seen many times before
The band members are true fans of Rush, you have to be to practice as hard as they do
Recently they also gave a shoutout for Craig Maloney before he passed, so thanks to them for helping with #RushForCraig
@lufthans @jorge Hey, friends, I FINALLY wrote a thing: https://drbacchus.com/rush-week-13-a-farewell-to-kings/
Who's next?
Listening to Clockwork Angels on a headset. There's so much going on. I had forgotten the rocktitude of this album
#RushForCraig if I'm correct the following studio albums are left
* Moving Pictures
* Presto
* Vapor Trails
* Clockwork Angels
We've been doing it somewhat wrong, #CraigMaloney was choosing albums randomly
Per XKCD documentation, the random number is 4, so next week we'll have #ClockworkAngels
There are 3 clockwork books:
* https://libro.fm/audiobooks/9781469228983-clockwork-angels
* https://libro.fm/audiobooks/9781501904769-clockwork-lives
* https://libro.fm/audiobooks/9781705051795-clockwork-destiny

This week's #RushForCraig going back and filling in an older album we skipped along the way, is A Farewell To Kings. Other than Xanadu, I'm actually not particularly familiar with this one, so looking forward to spending some time with it.
@rbowen @jorge After last week's #FlyByNight I'll go for a newer album, 1996's Test For Echo
#T4E includes the debut of the great Scottish tune in its 3 person form before it became famous as a strings duet
https://www.rush.com/albums/test-for-echo/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_for_Echo
Scottish tune ( per Geddy ) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZ14PsXtuIs
Also the manic Driven with fun video featuring Geddy on left-handed bass, and Alex on lh strings as well - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jPondwDDOE
@lufthans @jorge I wrote a thing - https://drbacchus.com/rush-week-11-fly-by-night/
Who's picking week 12?
I wrote a thing: https://drbacchus.com/grace-under-pressure-rush-week-10/
This week, let's go back old school and do Fly By Night.
To continue #CraigMaloney 's #RuahPerWeek @jorge has selected Grace Under Pressure for us this time around
https://mastodon.social/@jorge@hachyderm.io/112294605223117342
@lufthans @jorge So ... what are we doing next week? #RushIsABand #RushForCraig
#RushAWeek continues during the eclipse
Craig left us with visions of 2112 in our heads, finishing with Lessons, Tears and Something for Nothing
We can't have freedom for free, but we can have some nostalgia
To demark when we have to venture forth on our own this week we will listen to Rush's cover album, Feedback
#RushForCraig #Feedback #2112 #TwentyOneTwelve #CraigMaloney #RushIsABand
@jorge @rbowen Craig left us with 2112 in the queue as the Rush album of the week, let's keep it until Monday to express the post-apocalyptic feelings we're going through, then we can switch to some nostalgia
For those coming in fresh, this week we lost our friend @ CraigMaloney @ octodon.social to cancer, he had started a few of us listening to a different random Rush album every week
Hope he's drumming with the Professor
