Rush still puts on one of the best live shows around. If you want to watch a band that sounds just like their CD’s, this is the show to watch.

Another great updated set list from one of the best bands around.

Where is Frank Marino in the line-up? He is the MAN when it comes to Rush.

Other than two songs, it’s a shame that it’s the same setlist as last summer. WIth 35 years of material, they could do better!

Should be a great show - we just saw them in Kansas City 3 weeks ago - they were in top form!

I am a HUGE RUSH FAN but, I got to say I am a little let down by the song list. Where is “Working Man” or “Closer to the heart” “Fly by night” ” In the mood” ” In the end” I mean come on……….

Rush dominates as usual. The comment about “The Boss” ruling is laughable. Seeing any other band in concert after seeing Rush is anticlimactic. They are simply that good. Believe the hype.

Show last night ROCKED! Have seen them 6 or 7 times by now, and these guys just get better and better with age. The folks that want to continue to hear the same old, and quite frankly, lame, songs from their first couple of albums need to spend some time with some of Rush’s work from the last decade or so…You might be surprised!

Like the music of Rush, my life has changed so many ways in the last 30 years. Perhaps I am showing signs of ‘midlife’ crisis and only desire to achieve a feeling of youthfulness or to recapture a bit of my past. It is possible, however, that I have grown up and matured so I can appreciate the progressive nature of this band. Either way, I have found new joy in the old, the very old, the new and the not so new music of Rush. Thank you Geddy, Alex and Neal for the “Emotional feedback on timeless wavelength” . . . for the “gift beyond price, almost free” . . . . Almost . . ;-)
