    They were great in Toronto- nice to see Run The Jewels come out and do a song with them too.

    Totally blown away at last night show in TO.  These guys were on fire and looked like they gave all that they had.  If you have a chance to go don't think twice.


    Was an amazing show last night, they def left nothing on the stage. Even with Zac immobile!
    There are some acts like older hardcore bands that the edge is lost.  I'm not going to see Wattie perform w the Exploited because it doesn't have that same oomph behind it.

    I wonder if the lack of touring has made these songs still somewhat fresh to them?
    To Zac for sure. The band has been playing at least the more popular Rage songs as Prophets of Range and Audioslave.

    As I said before....I saw both Chicago shows and they might be the best two concerts I've ever seen. Just in your face for 90 minutes
    Does that Tom guy still play guitar decently?
    Flawless. He doesn't seem to miss a lick or effect
    Even when Tom is crash tackled off the stage by security it doesn't faze him!

    Good save by the security guard but sacrificed the person he was trying to save.

    Dude was quick and was on it though.

    I was super lucky - had decent 100-level seats for Saturday's show, and somehow scored face value GA tickets during the week and got my originals exchanged. 

    What a freaking show. Went with my cousin, missed Run the Jewels, but by about 20 minutes in she had helped me get right to the rail. As already said here - seated Zack is a hell of a frontman. 

    GA felt super tame and respectful - one guy near me got too drunk and fell, everyone checked on him right away, he basically looked confused and then just kept enjoying the show. Another guy was jumping and bounced into me, and apologized profusely (Canadian moshpits, eh). Crowdsurfers were processed in an orderly fashion to the front then went around to go again.

    I wasn't Tom's side so I didn't get a good look at what took place with rushing the stage, but seemed to not phase him thankfully!

    I've seen a lot of shows. A lot. Thursday's was one of the absolute best concerts I've seen in my entire life, and I'm still sorta trying to wrap my head around just how good it was. The setlist was perfect. My wife and I were saying afterwards we've never seen a band just annihilate an audience like Rage did. It's stunning to witness.

    Also, Run the Jewels ruled. I love RTJ. Rage was so good I almost forgot I saw them.

    I said the same thing. I saw them back to back in Chicago and those might be my top two concerts ever. Just nonstop 

    looks like you got No Shelter....great song

    Yup. Worth it though. I loved that tour and the place was rocking every night. Especially night 8
