    Saw them last night. Stellar show for sure but not my favorite setlist.

    that said, anytime they close with Working Man is alright by me. I still say PJ ought to cover that tune!

    Geddy and Eddie have a lot in common both are huge baseball fans, inspired by the Who, and love wine.

    That would be a great cover.

    I need to get the VT remaster. I really, really enjoy that album musically...but the production is just god awful. Damn loudness war!

    It's like a whole new album. They did it justice.

    For years I have been saying Limelight would be a sick cover. Ed could nail it, and Mike would OWN the solo.

    Agreed. After thinking about it, there are a few Rush songs PJ could cover very well.

    How much fun would Matt Cameron have?

    You know he played drums on Geddy's solo album, right?

    I have a copy of it signed by Geddy addressed to me.

    Did not know this- thanks!

    I meant for Cameron to beat down on his drums 'playing' Neil Peart. Is it humanly possible for a person not to air band a drum roll to Tom Sawyer? Any section of it for that matter?

    One of my favourite rock 'n' roll stories of all-time was when Lifeson got arrested with his son and daughter-in-law at a Ritz-Carlton in Florida on New Year's Eve 2003.
