my gut feeing is getting stronger that Toronto may get Limelight!!!! Seems like a real possibility to me...........
This may be a separate thread, but this one is hot, so it'll probably get read here. I remember seeing a video snip of them doing Limelight. Is this still available anywhere?
It is on youtube..

Ahh, but how 'bout...
"A Night Like This" by The Cure
I was just listening to the live version and it's a solid tune, and I remember Sinclair saying something about The Cure being a common interest of the band back in their earlier days.
off topic, but the smashing pumpkins do a pretty cool version of it, if you can track it down. It's got James Iha singing!
how about ---"hummer" from the siamese dream(daydream?) album or "disarm"--("the killer in me is the killer in you! --my love")======I could listen to rob all night so my vote is for "Do You Feel?" by Peter Frampton---------------"When The Levee Breaks"!!!!---"The Rain Song"---and definately "ALL DOWN THE LINE"------
I would like to hear a Peter Gabriel song, maybe Shock the Monkey or Biko

Due to synths and backing vocals, I don't think these tracks would work well with the hip. Maybe a few tracks from the "Us" record would go over better, or early Gabriel from his first record (stuff like Modern Love or Moribund The Burgermeister). Gabriel throughout the 80's just has too many instruments that don't parrallel the Hip's. Mind you, I would not complain in the least if they decided to cover Biko or Shock The Monkey
.
All that aside, I love Gord's cover of Fortunate Son, so why not a Hip version?
Was doing some work at home this weekend and had the iPod on shuffle......up came the Stones "Silver Train" from Goat's Head Soup and my first thought was, "hey there is a great song for the boys to cover". I think they would do a great job on that one, Rob on slide................

I wasn't really thinking about if they could do it or not, i was just thinking it would be awesome if they did it

Maybe I am mistaken, but I was always under the belief that Rush is from Toronto??? I have thought that my entire life, but that doesn't mean I'm right...........LOL

Both...
I think the call themselves a Toronto band as they were formed in Willowdale (a burb/region of Toronto).
Geddy Lee & Alex Lifeson are from Toronto.
Neil Peart is from Hamilton.
