Not sure whether I still get there modern stuff.

Saw them on their Hold Your Fire tour in either '87 or '88.

The last album of theirs that I regularly play tracks from is Presto, so haven't really got a feel for their later stuff.

Pretty sure he is - it was Peart that had a hiatus, wasn't it?

Would have been London... Wembley Arena perhaps...

Such a long time ago

Absolutely brilliant gig though.. wasn't particularly a fan 'til then..

Wished I'd been as interested in 84 for their Grace Under Pressure tour, I always wanted to see the concert in more than 1 half D ;-)

The whole band had a hiatus from 1997 to 2002 when Neils life went through what can only be described as hell. They are back, stronger than ever and from what I have heard, and seen, of the recent North / South American part of the tour they are in awesome form.

Not a hope of going to gigs any more... may have to take a peek at the DVD or something..

They were incredible live...
