Transcript: "Rush's Performance Well-Balanced, Precise" - OSU's The Lantern, February 5, 1979

Today's transcript addition was sent in by John Harrison, and is a concert review and short interview with Alex Lifeson that appeared in the Ohio State University newspaper following their performance there on February 1, 1979.  In "Rush's Performance Well-Balanced, Precise" the reviewer comments on Geddy's tasteful use of keyboards which at that time were gradually being introduced into the live show, and remarks "Rush has always presented a fascinating musical contradiction to me - the mystical lyrics seem more appropriate to folk singers, but when set to driving rock and roll beat, the songs emerge as ferocious, yet fun."
