I think I saw Rush around that time too. My mate told me to listen to a song called "Closer to The Heart". I thought it was a girl singing, so imagine my shock when I saw Geddy Lee!
Fantastic band to see live. Saw them again a few years ago and they still have the amazing ability to make a band of 3 sound like so much more!
