When Colbert had 'em on his show earlier this year, it was the first time they'd been on American TV in over 30 years.

I always thought that was Pavement's secret weapon. The whole stupid slacker oh-look-we-can-barely-play thing was a joke. They were (are) really really talented and TIGHT as a band. Even watching like the live shit on Slow Century -- it's like holy shit! They are ridiculously on point. And I mean sometimes you gotta pay attention to some of their really weird changes and shit. TERROR TWILIGHT is so shaton, but if you listen to like a lot of the weird stop-starting and (ahem) "jamming" on something like "You Are A Light" it's really a reminder that these muhfuggas could PLAY!

I'm not much of a bootleg geek when it comes to the majority of bands apart from VU, so if you can up me some stuff from that time which you think would make a point I'd be really grateful.

I actually avoid bootlegs these days, so the only Pav-live I have is um the Record Store Day ones really. But um.. do a youtube search for a live version of "You Are A Light" and see what happens?

atsonicpark · 08.24.2010, 02:36 PM

Rush are great.

Pavement ist rad -- for an album or two.

noisereductions · 08.24.2010, 02:43 PM

Pave Ment ist way rad. I like all the albums. But we've done this already.

YYZ is swell, but it's an instrumental, and since the title thread reads, "What about the voice of Geddy Lee?"

try this one on for size.

Geddy's voice is in classic form in this cool clip of "Anthem" I found on youtube from 1975. The fashions have dated badly, but there's no denying the ferocious sonic power these three guys created. Give it a look 'n listen:

YYZ is amazing. Rush were rad for a "mainstream prog" band. I mean, they're no Thinking Plague or anything, but who is?

Rob Instigator · 08.24.2010, 04:26 PM

RUSH sure did and do create a massive amount of sound for three dudes. Not my fave band, but I can dig what they do.

akprodr · 08.24.2010, 04:52 PM

Rush is the band with Steve Perry, right?

That doesn't mean anything...no shortage of Rush fans, for sure.

So they were a super famous band who washed up.

That's not a cult band.

Mmm Van Halen.
