LAST UPDATED AUGUST 5, 2009
Sorry, but I don't have any shows from any of the dates below, or any yet unknown dates. ;^((( Other than a rumor I heard a long time ago, I haven't heard of any shows that exist on any form of media. If by chance you should have a show from any date prior to 8-14-74 including from "The Projection", both 1968 versions of "RUSH", the 1969 version of "RUSH", "Hadrian" (formed by Alex), "Ogilvie" (formed by Geddy), both versions of "Judd" (also formed by Geddy), the "RUSH" reformation in 1969 with John Rutsey, the 1971 version of "RUSH" with Mitch Bossi or the other 1971 version w/o Mitch Bossi up until July 1974, PLEASE either send it to me so that I can send it off to be mastered onto a CD-R, or you could send it to be mastered. After the dates below is the point at which time the search for Neil took place, which as you all know is the formation as we know them today. Let me know if you have ANYTHING from this time period, as I am VERY much interested in obtaining whatever I can!!!! I know my site is for the collecting of known boot releases, but I felt like it was worth creating this page, even if only for nostalgic purposes.
Here are some original songs from the Pre - Neil Peart era. I would truly appreciate in my collection; "Losing Again" / 1968, "Child Reborn" / 1969, "Number 1" / 1969, "Keep In Line" / 1969, "Run Willie Run" / 1969, "Mike's Idea" / 1969, "Tale" / 1969, "Sing Guitar" / 1970, "Morning Star" / 1970, "Margarite" / 1970, "Feel So Good" / 1970, "Love Tonight" / 1970, and "Slaughter House" / 1971. There is one other original song called "Garden Road" and we have that available Live on the release from 8-26-74 called "New In Town - Platinum Edition".
Any version of any of the songs above will be a treasured addition!!!! The rating quality of any of the above or below, or the media it is on or was sourced from does NOT matter!!!!
