He loops and pitches-up the tremolo trill before the solo....for one.

Are they gonna run a repeat anytime soon? I missed out.

You can watch the link posted earlier, or the show is repeated twice today. Here on the easterly parts it's somewhere around 1pm and then again at 5:30 EST.

5:30 works for me. Thanks Brutha!

My pleasure! I think I'll watch it again (and again.)

Think it's on at 8:30 tonight too.

"Uh, have you ever done a song SO epic that you were influenced by yourselves in the beginning because it was so much earlier in your careers?"

Rush really laughed at that one!

Ooooh, BBO!! I LOVE those screen shots!

I hate pushing a great contribution from you but do you think it's possible to have a SS of Geddy walking up to his keyboards and smiling after Steven "interrupted" the performance? That was such a great moment.

I don't see why not...give me a few minutes

Big Blue Owl · Post by **Big Blue Owl** » Thu Jul 17, 2008 1:07 pm

As close as I could get.

That was hilarious, just caught what I missed on youtube.

Steven did a great job foisting the fandom off on Jimmy, the director but you absolutely CAN'T miss the unmasked delight on his face when they're signing his hand.
