Finding My Way
Music and Lyrics: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson

Yeah, oh yeah!
Ooh, said I,
I'm comin' out to get you.
Ooh, sit down.
I'm comin' out to find you.
Ooh, yeah. Ooh yeah.
Findin' my way!

I've been gone so long
I've lost count of the years.
Well, I sang some sad songs,
oh yes, and cried some bad tears.

Look out! I'm comin'.
Whoa, whoa.
Look out! I'm comin'.
W… Morehoa, yeah.

I'm runnin',
finding my way back home.
Oh yeah!

Yeah, oh yeah!
Ooh, said I,
I'm comin' back to look for you.
Ooh, sit down.
I'm goin' by the back door.
Ooh, yeah. Ooh yeah.
Findin' my way!

You've done me no right,
but you've done me some wrong.
Left me lonely each night
while I sing my sad song.

Look out! I'm comin'.
Whoa, whoa.
Look out! I'm comin'.
Whoa, yeah.

I'm runnin',
findin' my way back home.
I'm comin'.
Ooh, babe, I said I'm runnin'.
Whoa, babe, I said I'm comin'
to get you, mama.
Said I'm runnin'.

Ooh, babe, I said I'm comin'
for you, babe.
I said I'm runnin'.
Ooh yes, babe, I said I'm comin'
to get you, babe. I said I'm comin'.
Ooh, yeah.

I'm findin',
I'm findin' my way back home.
Well, I've had it for now,
livin' on the road.
Ooh, yeah.
Ooh, yeah.

Findin' my way!

Need Some Love
Music and Lyrics: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson

I'm runnin' here,
I'm runnin' there.
I'm lookin' for a girl.
'Cause there's nothin' I need,
there's nothin' I want more
in the whole wide world.

Well, I need it quick
and I need it now,
before I start to fade away.
That's why I'm searchin',
that's why I'm lookin'
each and ev'ry day.

Oo, I need some love.
I said I need some love!
Oo yes, I need some love
This feelin' I can't rise above.
Yeah, yeah!

Well I been hustlin' here,
I been hustlin' there.
I been searchin' for about a week.
And I started feelin'
this strange sensation.
My knees are startin' gettin' weak.

Well I need what keeps
a young man alive;
I'm sayin' I need it now.
I'm gonna get the message
across to you
someway, somehow.

Oo, I need some love.
I said I need some love!
Oo yes, I need some love
This feelin' I can't rise above.
Oo, yeah yeah!

Take A Friend
Music and Lyrics: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson

Well, I'm lookin' at you,
and I'm wond'rin' what you're gonna do.
Looks like you got no friends,
no one to stick with you till the end.

Take yourself a friend.
Keep 'em till the end.
Whether woman or man,
it makes you feel so good,
so good.

Yes, you think you're all right,
and now you're lonely ev'ry night.
Well, you need a friend,
someone on whom you can always depend.

Take yourself a friend.
Keep 'em till the end.
Whether woman or man,
it makes you feel so good,
so good.

Yes, you need some advice.
Well, let me put it to you nice.
I said you need a friend,
someone who'll stick with you to the end.

Take yourself a friend.

2112 ANNIVERSARY

2112 Anniversary (April 1, 1976) There are many stories behind the albums and the artwork of Rush. Neil Peart tells a futuristic story in 2112 of the Starman representing a hero who fights against collectivist mentality (depicted by the evil red star). During the buildup to the Time Machine Tour in 2010, Neil warned against any crossover with the Starman, and the steampunk-themed 2010 tour. Peart wrote, “Fundamentally, thematically, philosophically, and narratively, the Starman has no place in the Time Machine/ steampunk world. That’s all there is to it. Placing the Starman over clockworks and steam valves and those images makes my skin crawl, because the stories are so diametrically … Less

This is Rush?s first show of their first American Tour. It is also their first show with Neil. God only knows who had the foresight to tape it, but we thank them. Quality really rots, but this one is a keeper for it?s "Rush Value." They played this show in opener for Uriah Heep at the Igloo. Neil even mentions it in Thrice Told Tales. As you can see by the set list, nothing special really happened… More. (1999-04-01)

Ron's Rush RoIO Review


The existence of this show is one of those things we can chalk up to sheer luck. It?s amazing that the tapers even thought to capture this bit of history on tape. After Rush is announced, we hear the taper say: "Who?" Later they poke fun at Geddy?s voice. However, Alex wins the crowd over with the guitar solo at the end of Bad Boy. There is a decent amount of mic feedback throughout the show, and the sound quality is pretty bad. To make things worse, the end of Working Man is chopped off. Still, historical reasons alone demand that this one be in every Rush fan?s collection. (1999-04-01)

I have been trying to track this one down for quite some time now. And to tell you the truth, I wasn?t even interested in the sound quality; the venue just means so much from a historical perspective in the annals of Rush. The show documents a 21-year-old Neil Peart?s first performance with the band.

The venue features four songs, including a short guitar solo in ?Bad Boy? and a drum solo in ?Working Man.? There is some minimal crowd talking in the beginning, and an annoying, ugly low frequency that stays throughout. But most noticeable from the get go: the guitar is very loud, and the drums are almost non-existent. The vocals are even a bit low at times?except when Geddy belts. And when he belts, folks, he belts! Ged is doing his banshee wail as I?ve never heard him before. At times I felt his throat was about to rip in two. If you listen carefully, you can hear the tapers mocking his screams (especially in ?Finding My Way? and ?Bad Boy.?); it?s kind of amusing.

Things get a little better sonically during ?Bad Boy,? but not by much. This was obviously made with someone?s bottom of the barrel tape recorder, so ?a little better? is still pretty bad. At about 3:55 into ?Working Man,? the final track, the sound drastically changes?for the worse. The recording becomes entirely muffled as if the taper tried to hide the recorder. Actually, it sounds a little like it?s underwater. Although this IS towards the end of the performance, in my opinion, this is the greatest moment of the venue: it?s minutes before Neil?s first drum solo with the band! But as poor as the sound is, you CAN hear the solo.

This is a simply a must for diehards, and diehards only. Sonically, this is way below average. (Graded VG minus ?and that?s being generous.) I wonder if there is another source out there of this very pivotal performance in Rush?s history ?their percussive turning point. I guess only time will tell. (2004-04-15) Less
