toddf74 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 any thoughts on last night's show in "Chicagoland"? I really enjoyed the second set much better than the first. I thought Geddy seemed stronger with the newer material. It was a blast!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddf74 Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 Also I caught one of the tshirts from Geddy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeeter Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I was near the back of 102 and thought the sound was not great during first half. Seemed much better during second half, I agree. Ears still ringing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pars123 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 That was my first show! I thought it was amazing! The string section sounded so good! The people around me knew the newer material well! And the Stanley Cup was there!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILSnwdog Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) I thought it was cool how the crowd was more into the new material compared the first leg of the tour. It was my daughter's first Rush show, so this one will always be special for me. :) Edited June 29, 2013 by ILSnwdog 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's almost too much awesome for one night!!! :cheers: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eshine Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Just posted my glowing review :) It was a great night!! http://www.therushforum.com/index.php?/topic/83454-chicago-review/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachenFoot Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Loved it. Thought the crowd was more involved in the new material and the strings sounded much higher in the mix than last time, which was nice. I went to the parade/rally for the Hawks that morning and the Rush show that night. Having the Cup there was a perfect conclusion to the day. Only thing that wasn't better than September's show was the sound. It was probably where I was sitting (dead center in September, stage-right last night), but to me the sound wasn't nearly as clear or pristine. Glad we got "Setlist B" (or close to it) so I could see "Dreamline" with the strings, and "Wish Them Well." Way cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddf74 Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 I also agree that the sound there was not great. However, I was very close to the stage and was just going berserk the entire time, so I did not seem to mind as much. I really enjoyed the strings a lot more this time.

EagleMoon Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I agree that the sound was less-than-perfect the first set. Also it seemed like people were more into the CA songs than ever before, which is great. Geddy seemed to be having trouble with his bass tone or something. He kept making faces at the guy running the sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeeter Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I loved the face Alex made during the show....someone was smoking so Al pretended (?) to be annoyed with it, made funny face, waved his hand to get the "smoke" away....hilarious. Not sure if it was cigarettes or something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
