R.I.P. Neil you will be missed for generations....... Merlin007 1

I had an awesome opportunity of being invited to this bar the night the music industry came to hear them. The next day they were famous world wide. I got to go behind the stage when they played at the Buffalo Aud and I had a great time. The party with them afterward was even better. lol Streetcleaner and Merlin007 2

I saw so many great bands at Hara.... those were the days @MikeB ...although my first concert at Hara was Van Halen Fair Warning tour or the Black and blue tour .......Black Sabbath and B.O.C Blue Oyster Cult , if they played there or Riverfront coliseum. but I saw Rush there,Slayer,Metallica,Soundgarden,Iron Maiden,Stevie Ray Vaughn ...the list is large But ...I remember one time at Rush at Hara,I was half way up on the right all the up close by the stage side so you could see above and down on the stage...great spot and his drum solo ,totally enclosed in his Kits ,slinging a drumstick up into the stratosphere as he kept playing and without missing a beat ,catching it ,as he drops the other stick he picked up in the launch, as it comes back to earth and just kept going... !! yeah he will be missed ....

I saw Rush live 5 or 6 times, and had the good fortune to get backstage and hang out with them in 1990 or 1991 at Irvine Meadows Amphitheater. My best friend at the time..his girlfriend's uncle handled their lighting at their shows..so she got us backstage. Got the meet all of them as well as a few California Angels players. Peart only came out and said hi to everyone briefly, and then retreated back to his dressing room. Geddy and Alex hung out with everyone for like 90 minutes. It was quite an experience for my 23 year old self at the time which I shall never forget.
