O.K.
These are the European Tours by Rush:

1977 (Britain,Germany and Sweden)
1978 (Britain)
1979 (extensive 3 month European tour including Scandinavia)
1980 (Britain)
1981 (Britain (Europe ?))
1983 (Europe)
1988 (Europe)
1992 (Europe)

A small anecdote 'bout Rush's stardom, as told by a Kerrang! or Metal
Hammer journalist in 1992, according to my memory:

- A couple of days ago I talked to some record company executives from
Rush's label and they were amazed to hear that Rush is still around and
that they are playing London this week
-Where ? they asked. Marquee ?
- No, two sell-outs at the Wembly Arena.

Is Doug Smith working at EastWest I wonder ? ;^>
