Photo memories
On January 11, we asked Twitter followers to share their photo memories. Not only did people send a lot of great photos--but there are many from private collections I'd never seen before. In addition, we added a few other appropriate photo-based tweets to this page that weren't direct responses to our request.
As a more “visual” tribute to Neil Peart, please consider sharing photos you took in the past few tours or before. Here are some I took on R40 tour in Seattle and Portland: https://t.co/GXauCoUeh6

Not the greatest but I was concentrating on enjoying every second. I did get a lot of shots of Randy Johnson taking a lot of shots 🤷🏻♀️✌️💫🎸 @rushtheband #R40 #Chicago at the @UnitedCenter #NeilPeart #RushFamily pic.twitter.com/Cs2l0PCDnV

Pratt hits splash. Terrible "screen" shot quality, but i cherish the composition and the memory it evokes from May 30, 2015 show in Northern VA. pic.twitter.com/jIPeZQ3Opu

The third photo is during the intermission film, at a time of 21:12, from seat 21 12, a pertinent last-minute seat! The last photo is at 22:12, just as @rushtheband started playing 2112. :) pic.twitter.com/C6BdgyhuGp
