One of my top- 3 favorite bands of all time!

They've only put out one "bad" album out of like 14... and it was the last one (Vapor Trails). I have high hopes for this new one though: no way these 3 guys can't still make great music! One thing's for sure: they'll never do commercial crap!

Either way, live they are awesome! Don't know if I'll see this tour as I'm afraid they'll do 50% of the playlist from the last 2 albums (and I've seen them many times way back when...) but if you've never seen them: go! You'll see three amazing musicians, regardless of the cuts they play! And I'm sure they'll do the hits like "Limelight," "Tom Sawyer," and "Spirit of Radio," etc...

I actually thought Vapor Trails was most excellent

Their concerts follow a greatist hits format. Perhaps 5 or 6 songs from the last 2 albums and the rest will be from the vault.

See, Spence: music is so personal! "One man's meat..."

Anyone hugely into Rush I won't ever disagree with! Bottom line: don't miss them! They're the last of the great still- touring all- star "superbands..." (F. the Stones of 2007!)...

OK, I'll back- track this much: the last 3 songs on "VT" were awesome/ outstanding/ vintage Rush! The rest of it was way subpar for my tastes/ memory of them. Still, 3 great songs is much more that you'll get from most of todays Group's "best" albums!

Beyond the "Greatest hits" & classic/ old Rush stuff everbody knows: "Test for Echo," "Power Windows," "Presto," "Counterparts" & "Roll the Bones" were incredible more recent albums! They'll do cuts from each of these I'm sure!
