    The setlist from my 50th show in Tampa May 24, 2015. It's difficult for me to talk about in that I drove 5+ hours there alone and it's possibly the last time I'll ever see them live again. It was very emotional for me and that had NEVER happened to me before at a RUSH show.

    Love the way a band like RUSH Can make fun of themselves which to me puts new fans at ease to enjoy the show. Click on the link and see and hear what I mean, I preferred the other setlist in that they played one of my favorites The Camera Eye.

    I love Randy's love of music and I love Geddy's love of baseball.

    Dig that they finally made the cover of RS....Nice pic! Captures them well, I think.

    Listening to Snakes & Arrows right now.

    I've put Clockwork Angels back in the regular rotation lately. Man what a phenomenal album! In my opinion, their best since Counterparts. An absolute gem; the fact they can still write great tunes and rock hard & heavy into their 60's, after 20-some studio albums spanning 5 different decades, is testament to their place in rock history.

    See I love Vapor Trails, so I can't say it's the best since Counterparts....but I do think it's easily better than S&A.

    Totally love VT, I saw that tour six times maybe due to them taking a five year break after Neil's tragedies. S&A I just can not connect with me, loved the tour but the album is another story.....its at the bottom of their 19 studio albums.

    I think between the VT tour and then R30 I saw somewhere around a dozen between 02 and 04.

    Yeah, I agree there's just something about S&A that is severely lacking. There are some awesome tunes, and maybe someday it will click for me.

    But I also agree the tour itself kicked ass.

    I agree like many of their other albums that didn't click with me upon their release such as PW,Signals,T4E and half of CP now I feel are way better than I previously thought. Yes someday S&A will do the same as I age gracefully, lol. At first I thought CA was ok but now as time goes by its becoming an amazing album with The Garden having some of Neil's best lyrics.

    To change this up if they EVER tour again I'd love to see them In a foreign non English speaking country ex: PARIS, FR!

    It's on Spotify and probably uploaded on YouTube by someone. It's a big improvement.
