I should stress that I know Page CAN play and HAS played well live and that makes it all the more frustrating. I know he CAN do it. He just doesn't do it often. Seeing someone who's always sloopy is one thing. But when you know they can play better and then you see them sort of blowing off their work, I find that lame.

FWIW, I saw Rush in Albuquerque last Tues. Neil Peart was having a bad night. He just wasn't in his groove. But the 49 or so other times I've seen him play almost flawlessly made me kind of not hold Tuesday's show against him.
