Go check Rush out in concert and you will.  The last time I saw Rush live was
in 1981 at the Spectrum in Phila. (terrible place for a concert) on their 
Moving Pictures tour.  During the beginning of their 3rd era as you would call
it.  They did a rendition of "Working Man" off their first album.  It featured
their early heavy sound along with Geddy's much improved vocals and Peart's
smooth style (instead of Rutsey's on the album the way I'm used to hearing it.)
It sounded great.  Has anyone seen Rush lately?  Do they still perform older
(first 3 albums) material or do I just have to remember the way it was?

I said I've played this song 
So many times before
That the melody keeps repeating.
Growing new ideas,
Flowing chords and notes
Like a mountain river bleeding.
