Alright. Well I've never listened to much Rush but it's one of the many bands I've been meaning to listen to. And now my bass teacher gave me Tom Sawyer to learn this week so I decided I would go look up some other rush stuff. So I've also been watching some live video's of them and I'm just wondering what is up with the washing machines behind geddy lee in the preformances?

Rush

I may be wrong but I think it's because he uses the PA now and they wanted to take up some room on his side of the stage. BTW when I went to see them in September it looked like he had a chicken roaster or something, it was cool.
The Song Tom Sawyer itself is not an example of Rush at their musical best.. quite simple for them.. the rest of the album, namely "YYZ" and "Camera Eye" as well as "Red Barchetta" are far better examples. I would also recommend the following albums, A Farewell To Kings, Hemispheres, Signals, Power Windows, Roll the Bones, and most favorite of mine... Permanent Waves..
give this a listen, it's off A Farewell to Kings.. called Xanadu
Thanks yall... guess its kinda funny with the chicken roaster and washing machine as a way to take up space. Anyway yah like i said I'm new to rush haven't listened to much of there stuff... only songs i've heard by them were yyz and tom sawyer but I'll be sure to check out the recomended stuff.
rush kicks ass, plain and simple.
here's a vid of me playing yyz at a battle of the bands:
