Great show! We were in Section 310 too, at the ACC. It was a view I had never seen before. The band were firing on all cylinders. Seeing Neil quickly creep and hide at the drum kit before each set was kind of neat.
Geddy's bass tone, and frenetic playing, were the best I'd seen. I liked Neil's solo, as he kept that triplet playing, while his hands were not phased by it. Alex had great tone on all solos. The Vital Signs guitar tone was just perfect, and major tone-age for every solo!
Enjoyed the reggae start to Working Man, and the new ending to CTTH with the 6-beat.
One vocal guy in our section was screaming for the reggae to end, but he had to wait two whole verses! hahaha.... then he screams, "now that's more like it!"
Funniest comment was walking outside the ACC after the show, and some punk walks past me in the other direction sneering, "that concert sucked balls!"
I first saw Rush in 1981, front row in Edmonton, but the wildest Rush show was at Radio City in New York after winning tickets from Toronto's Q-107 (cool story on a much earlier post).
I got serious with Rush when a friend gave me his brother's 2112 in about 1978, which he later got crap for, and that started it all... then my currently 95 year old Grandmother in 1982 bought me Rush Deluxe Anthology sheet music for piano, which greatly helped me transition from the Royal Conservatory of Music to a rock keyboardist... which I still do with Ward 3.
