Hey guys goin to see Rush this summer thanks to my awesome Mom! Aren't Moms great?

I always avoid my GF's from meeting my mum though! Complete nightmare if that ever happened!


More important subject that is excellent news about you going to see Rush! Sounds like its going to be a great gig!

Rush is Great..Enjoy!

Thanks Axe I'm looking forward to hearing some of their new album Snakes and Arrows!

well i wasnt thrilled about their new album but you know theyll play some rememberable classics that guarantee an awesome show :rock2:

yeah I hope they play La Villa Strangito or YYZ they are excellent instrumentals

My brother and I are going to see them when they come to Charlotte in July... ROCK ON!!! :beer3:

Hope you enjoy the gig !

i'll be seeing them next thursday night

this will be the 4th time i've seen them...first time was 1977

actually, before Satch, this was my favorite group upon which i spent countless hours listening to & trying to learn guitar licks

i'm not too thrilled with their past few albums - just a song here and there

Rush was great...started the show with Limelight...played nearly all of their classics like Trees, 2112, Tom Sawyer, etc....did a few songs off their latest album

Alex Lifeson looked to be playing a couple of trem-equipped Gibson Les Pauls...never seen those before...he also did an incredible amount of pedal-dancing...did some acoustic stuff as well

Fantastic drum solo by Neil Peart...he performed on a spinning platform where he was encircled by 3 or 4 different drum sets

Geddy Lee was tremendous on bass...his voice has deepened somewhat...what I thought were his bass amps, & I don't get this, really looked like 2 giant lit up glass cases with spinning chickens...on the front of the cases the word "henhouse" was painted on them...so it looked like about a 100 chickens were in there cooking...occasionally, a guy in a chef hat would come out on stage & act like he was smearing bbq sauce on the birds....again, i don't get it
