Was at both shows (Wednesday in the 100 level and Friday in the 300 level on the side of the stage). Friday's show was much better from a performance, setlist and crowd perspective as noted in previous comments by others. If they use Friday's performance, the song selection covers more new ground not previously covered in other Rush DVD's. The vibe was really there on Friday. Regardless of which show they end up picking, I hope they take the entire performance (Warts and All) instead of piecing together a best of from both nights (maybe they'll use 1 show just for visuals only).

I have been reading the message board for years and do not usually make comments but after this thread, I feel like people are being very harsh about last night's show in Toronto. I was there, sat in the 100 level and it was my 10th Rush concert (I usually watch 1 show each tour). Beyond the botched opening of Headlong Flight, there was nothing wrong with last night's concert. A 1 second error on Subdivisions can easily be corrected for the DVD. All other mistakes like missed notes during a solo or playing the wrong chord is nitpicking at best. I have heard some previous shows on this tour that have popped up on Youtube and overall I am not hearing anything different than what happened last night. Mistakes will happen every night. Was the show last night the best gig of the tour - probably not. Should they cancel the DVD due to what some perceive as a substandard performance - NO. The best concerts for any band never get captured professionally and if the live document of this tour ends up being Toronto 1, I won't complain. Rush may replay Setlist A regardless tomorrow night for the DVD. People will probably complain about that too even if they play flawlessly.
