Yes indeed. The liner notes say: "...Hello Jeff<br /><br />Yes indeed. The liner notes say: "<i>A special tribute to the Glaswegian Chorus for the background vocals on Closer to the Heart. Nice one, folks!</i>"<br /><br />As a result, I have always claimed that I have sung background vocals on a Rush album and that they thanked me in the liner notes. While this may not be entirely true... it's not exactly false either.<br /><br />More generally, I think the Glaswegian audience was vaguely hopeful that they would do <i>Closer To The Heart</i> on the R30 tour when they came to Glasgow. Alas, it was not to be!Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08614417017549146281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1799134939589412844.post-89102671009113614182010-04-26T16:29:38.640+01:002010-04-26T16:29:38.640+01:00Wait, is it because of Exit...

It's been ages since I've had a chance to look through the liner notes for that album, but I'm pretty sure that's it.JThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14407166904457631930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1799134939589412844.post-58650742545766665112010-04-26T14:30:37.709+01:002010-04-26T14:30:37.709+01:00What is the significance of "Closer to the He...What is the significance of "Closer to the Heart" (other than it being an amazing song)?<br /><br />Also, I'm not sure if this has been officially confirmed, but I have read that they are planning to play a couple of new songs (from the upcoming album) on the tour, which will add somewhat of a "future" aspect to the Time Machine concept. I know that some of the premium ticket packages for this tour include a CD single with two new songs on it, though it's not clear when that CD will actually be released.<br /><br />It is indeed an exciting time to be a Rush fan. I'm hoping to be able to make it to one of the shows. They're not coming to my city this time, but they are playing a few shows nearby, so if things work out I'll be able to catch my first Rush show. :)JThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14407166904457631930noreply@blogger.com
