    Way back in the day when the band played at the Rosemont Horizon in Chicago, we figured out which hotel they were staying at by calling around and looking for the names of the stage hands listed in the credits on the albums. I remember Liam Birt (sp) who I asked for and sure enough, he was listed. We raced to the hotel after the show and waited at the top of the escalator. About 15 minutes later, in came Geddy, Alex, Howard Ungerlider (guy in charge of lighting) and a bunch of other folks....we asked for their autographs and chatted for a few minutes. I told Howard that the light show was awesome and he was floored that I knew who he was. Geddy even said "that was cool" when he heard me say it. No sign of Neil but he always comes in the back way to avoid the fans...he was spotted earlier in the day riding his bicycle around the area....I will never forget that meeting and it was a long time ago.

    Loved the show in Chicago. I really don't care what they play any more. Would I like to hear a bunch of stuff from RUSH & Fly By Night & whatever? SURE! Would I like to hear the entire Hemispheres or A Farewell To Kings or PW or 2112? Also sure! They have so much material and who is to say what is good or not. They have to get tired of playing the same stuff over and over. After just coming off the Time Machine tour I bet they are sick of playing anything from Moving Pics. I love it all!!!! And to the person that complained that they played too many songs in a row from CWA instead of breaking it up over the night, you do understand that it is a concept album and that all of the songs go together and in order? That would be like breaking 2112 up into a bunch of single songs. I thought that it was interesting that Neil had the 3 mini solos. I think that it kind of took a little away from that usual monster solo that I was expecting. I love that they changed it up a little at this show and moved Spirit to the ending song spot and still having 2112 as the final finale. I did miss Working Man but the version they had been doing was not my favorite anyway......I have not missed a tour since I went to my first show back on Dec. 15, 1978 at the International Amphitheater (sp) in Chicago with STARZ as their backup band. Every tour, loved every one!!!!!!! I will keep going and buying their stuff as long as they keep going...............Just my opinion
