Rush puts on a better production than Stevie/Lindsey/FM ever could show wise...if you like progressive rock then they may be up your alley.

Wished they would play nearby here in OKC.

rush is ****ing awesome. i wish i could see them live.

some of the most talented musicians on the planet, no doubt.

Seen them a handful of times, always a good show. Lots of time changes in each song.

All I can say is that Stevie isn't the only singer who has lost his/her upper range.

I saw Rush a handful of times throughout the 80's and have to admit that it was just all downhill after "Moving Pictures." The new album is utter crapola.

I thought they were great in the 80's, Hemispheres and Moving Pictures are 2 of my most favorite albums. After that they weren't great anymore

You are perfectly correct.

They are good live today. They do have their climaxes in their live shows like Peart's solos and the recent South Park Tom Sawyer

I think S&A is awesome! Esp. the instrumentals

IMO, I would have seen Stevie both nights.

Rush is amazing. Neal Peart........ Pheonomenal.

'Nuf Said.

I can actually play conversations on the keyboard too. GREAT song.

I like their older stuff. And they've always been known to put on amazing shows. So have fun!
