The only disappointment I had, was that the intermission seemed longer than usual, but it was 20 minutes, so that was not too bad. Their new stuff is very good, with some funky bass lines and some really good progressive jams. Every song was right on, with the exception of Tom Sawyer. It figures, their signature song and it was off. At first I was wondering if was by design to slow it up a bit, but then I realized Geddy and Alex were looking at each other as if something was wrong. Maybe their monitors were on the fritz or something.

If you've never seen RUSH, you should. They are that good. The one thing you'll find at a RUSH show is that 90% of the audience is either engineers or musicians. That should tell you something about their style and influence. And Greg was right, Geddy hit all the high notes!

ANTHEM!
