I had the pleasure to see them some time ago. What a great concert. Unfortunately, I don't think I could anymore handle a concert? An age thing. lol Besides, I'd rather spend any extra cash on ammo these days.

Have a good time.

Take notice to the "no scalping" sign at the arena.  It makes me laugh every time.

Lifetime Rush fan here.

What would a ticket for Rush in the first five rows, center, run these days?  I think I should.

I think that was 1981

 









They played the entire Moving Pictures album in it's entirety during the second set.










Zippy, the tickets were $95 for nosebleed section.  The better seats were $105, but none were left when I went to buy them 8 hours after they went on sale.  There is a "golden circle" package that gets you in the first several rows, program, free shirt, and a few other little perks for $250 per person.  Usually, these are reserved as give-aways to high-rollers and other casino guests or corporate partners.  The prices are steep but worth it.  I also avoided about $17 worth of taxes, fees, and surcharges by buying the tickets at the box office since I was in the area the day they went on sale.










Overall, GREAT show.  Outstanding sound and musicianship tonight.  Great crowed and the band was very tight.  They were not as "into it" as a few other times I have seen them, but it was not the worst show that I've seen from them either.  I suppose it was just another day at the office for them. Sound was clear an d excellent.  Alex has some really bitching new German-made tube amps.  The setlist was pretty diverse and had some good deep cuts on it with some nice variations thrown in to make the older songs a bit more interesting.  Lights, stage, and video were simpler than in the past, but their lighting rig was top-notch and capable of more combos and patterns than I've seen previously.  Less lasers, but a few more explosions.  Rush was never an act with a lot of pyros anyways, so it was nice to see.  They nixed the South Park clips, but had some really funny new ones made.  The guys are starting to show their age, but don't act it, which is good.  Rush tickets have never been cheap.  They are good Ayn Rand capitalists though, so I can respect their choice.










Overall, I'd give it an 8.5 out of 10.

Do you mean after the second set was over?  I heard it as we were leaving, because we pretty much left as soon as the set was over, because we wanted to not be trapped behind everyone and their friend that was leaving.
