10 SHOW NOTES-

1. Video Intro #1 is very funny, Alex is in bed dreaming about snakes, wakes up to find Neil in bed with him and both scream, Geddy is asleep in a trailer on a lounge chair.
2. Stage is simple. Alex has 4 sets of amps on stage left; Geddy has 3 rotissere ovens instead of dryers on stage right. 3 huge video screens behind the stage. Lots of lights/lasers/flames, videos through out the show.
3. During the new song "Main Monkey Busines" they show videos of chimp, monkeys doing lots of things.
4. The opening of "The Larger Bowl" has video of the Candian sons The Mackenzie Brothers.
5. Video Intro #2 is about a tour through you conscious.
6. Neil's drum solo lasted 7 minutes about half way through he stands up the drum riser rotates and he plays a 2nd set set of drums + electronic drums, before it rotates back to his usual set. He ends solo with a video Buddy Rich drumming.
7. Alex played Hope solo on stage with acoustic guitar
8. The Video before Tom Sawyer featured the South Park Kids as the band 'lil rush' >> very very funny.
9. During encore of One Little Victory, the video screen had a dragon, and when the dragon breathed flames flashed on the stage areas > very cool!
10. The concert lasted just over 3 hours (with the intermission)

I'm seeing them with the wife (for the zillionth time since 1980...LOL) this week.

I like the set-list for the most part, and I like that they are playing odd ball stuff they want to
play, but some of it I just don't get: Mission, Summertime Blues, Digital Man, Secret Touch,
& Between The Wheels. All seem to bog down the flow of the set.

Is this still the current set list? 10 days before my show.

Seeing them for the first time at the Hollywood Bowl tomorrow night

They are now alternating Summertime Blues with Distant Early Warning.

Dear God...PLEASE Distant Early Warning in Houston.

They did it at the Bowl last night, along with three hours of other amazing stuff.

I went to see them in the Bay Area at shoreline......It was my first show....My buddies bought me a ticket so I thought what the heck....His first song was a little weak vocally...I was wondering hmmm...Then after that they ran that gear into overdrive ...and absolutely amazed me his voice was spot on and the music..OMG!!!!!!!Fan for life now was an evening I will never forget ...what a sound!!!!!

I was born the same year as Rush and haven't gone to my first show until Snakes and Arrows. I always thought I was a BIG fan until that day. I'd say I was surrounded by HUGE fans and I am only a MODEST fan.
