Another great show however I liked last years setlist in West palm Beach and the VA shows better. Also the bristow VA show was the best of all near 40 shows I've now seen. That Austin setlist I liked better than the Florida one I just saw.

From ONE of my favorite RUSH albums GRACE UNDER PRESSURE the song....BTW and my first RUSH tour and every tour except Counterparts. It was opening day for my softball team and I was player coach, I had to giveaway my tickets. :(
To live between a rock and a hard place
In between time
Cruising in prime time
Soaking up the cathode rays
To live between the wars in our time
Living in real time
Holding the good time
Holding on to yesterdays
[Chorus]
You know how that rabbit feels
Going under your speeding wheels
Bright images flashing by
Like windshields towards a fly
Frozen in the fatal climb
But the wheels of time
Just pass you by
Wheels can take you around
Wheels can cut you down
We can go from boom to bust
From dreams to a bowl of dust
We can fall from rockets' red glare
Down to "Brother can you spare..."
Another war
Another wasteland
And another lost generation
It slips between your hands like water
This living in real time
A dizzying lifetime
Reeling by on celluloid
Struck between the eyes
By the big-time world
Walking uneasy streets
Hiding beneath the sheets
Got to try and fill the void
chorus...
A beautiful anti-war song and what a surprise hearing last year and in 2008.

I saw them May 6, 2008 at the Los Angeles Nokia theatre. Their PA system is big enough for a 20,000 seat basketball arena and the Nokia is small. It was so loud, it hurt. I've never been to such a loud concert. I heard Motorhead was loud. This was louder than PJ. The setlist looked pretty much like the one posted. The show started at maybe 8:20 anded around 11:40. Included a 15minute break after the song Dreamland. It is amazing how 3 people can make such a large and complete sound. They were great. Geddy looked like he was straining to sing. Must be hard touring over a year and keeping the voice going. He hit the highs in Freewill. The 2112 Overture was worth the price of admission. Ghost of a chance was amazing. All in all, a really great show; a great time. I recommend it. People polarize around Rush. If you like them, go. If you dont, nothing here to make you start.
Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river
Interesting...........I used to be REALLY Into them and then PJ came along for me. But I won tickets for TONIGHT and can't decide if I want to go. (I am lazy!!!)
So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me

you can't be serious....you need to go! Rush is ALWAYS a fantastic show
deep, deep blue of the morning
gets to me every time

Man YA GOTTA GO!

I did go!!! and very glad I did. My free tickets got upgraded from the top mezzanine to the Loge area----they wanted to fill in all the seats not sold!! Opened with Limelight, then Digital man. Also Red Barchetta, and THE TREES which I love!! So very glad I went!
EDIT: It was awesome to hear SAY HELLO TO HEAVEN during the break!!!!!

I noticed that on the 6th. Followed by Zep's "Babe I'm gonna leave you". Must be a standard thing they play each time. When I saw Rush last year at [that dreadful] Hollywood Bowl, they had Evenflow in the pre-show music. Maybe there is a PJ fan amongst that trio?

They are fans. From the notes for 10/5/00 in Toronto:
"In 'Wishlist,' Ed changes the lyrics to "I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as Geddy Lee." (Geddy Lee, from legendary Canadian band Rush, was sitting stage left for the entire show)."
And during 12/1/93 you can hear Dave A. chiming the intro to YYZ as Ed is talking at one point. There's a little trivia tidbit for ya
Bright eyed kid: "Wow Typo Man, you're the best!"
Typo Man: "Thanks kidz, but remembir, stay in skool!"

AWESOME! Nice move my next date with them will be in Northern, VA July 19th I believe. Also almost the same thing happened to me in Florida. I lost/ misplaced my tickets and I called up the arena and since I used a credit card they located my seats and somehow we were upgraded to 1 section from the stage, lower seating.
Awesome seats with some older fans smoking all kinds of different Wacky Tabacky, what a buzz we had.
Best thing my 12 year old daughter is a big Rush fan too, listening to *Closer To The Heart* right now.

Typo Man: "Thanks kidz, but remembir, stay in skool!"

a "Must see" for any Rush fan...

When they busted N.S. out on the Test For Echo tour, my brain was oozing out of my ears.
Typo Man: "Thanks kidz, but remembir, stay in skool!"
