Long time folks!
Anyway...
That was the day I saw Rush live in concert for the first ever. A day where I shook the hands of two of my greatest heroes - Geddy Lee & Alex Lifeson. The show it's self was absolutely incredible. The performance was unmatchable, and the stage set (lighting and all) unbelievable. And the set list...absolute perfection. When packed with not only 'Mission' and 'Witch Hunt', but 'Digital Man' and 'Ghost of a Chance', you cannot complain about anything.
It was an incredible day, and one which I'll never forget. Here's what I'll have forever: Me and my dad standing between Al and Geddy.
Rush Foreva!
They aren't front row of course...In the stands.... But woohoo!!!
Tomorrow the Pre-Sale tickets for Rush's May 29th concert here in Vancouver, go on sale!!
Hoping for the best. Will report back.
People who saw the concert last night said it wasnt just awesome, but amazing. Even better than R30 apparently!
Neil had a new drum solo, the stage set up was completely new with chicken rotisserie machines replacing the classic dryers and lastly, that setlist was 100% true (except for the 'unidentified' song, which didn't exist).
Here's a video (with medicore quality sadly) from the concert shot last night. Being performed is 'Far Cry'.
I was just looking over on rushisaband (A Rush dedicated fan site) and somebody has apparently heard the following songs being played in their entirety during rehearsals for the upcoming 'Snakes & Arrows' tour. 'Circumstances' (not a favourite, but no complaints)'Entre Nous' (Sweet mother of God..Awesome)'Witch Hunt' (One of my absolute favourite tunes! Awesome X2)'A Passage To Bangkok' (I'm a little worried how Ged's vocals will stand up here..but I still can't wait!)'Freewill' (Same thoughts as 'Circumstances')'Natural Science' (As it's one of the best Rush tunes ever, how could anyone complain?!)'Digital Man' (OMFG..Probably my all time favourite Rush tune!) 'Subdivisions' (always a pleasure to hear) 'Between the Wheels' (Yet another one of Rush's best tunes and while it was already played at 'R30', I've certainly got not complaints - Bring it on!)'Mission' (Fkc yeah!)Yearly classics like 'YYZ', 'Tom Sawyer' & 'The Spirit Of Radio' are also featured on the list.The official set list will arrive on June 13th, so as of right now this list is 'un-official', but let me tell you, If there's any validity to this list I'll be heaven!!While I won't be attending any shows this tour, I'll still mighty excited - especially with upcoming bootlegs and not to mention, the possibility of another concert DVD. Only four more days to find out whether this list has any truth to it..
