I downloaded CA to my ipod touch when it was released last Tuesday. I usually buy the CD and wish I would have. It told me that the digital booklet with lyrics and such would download when I connected to itunes on my computer. Well I have connected, synced my ipod and reported the problem to apple but still not booklet, any suggestions.

Thanks for posting this, the live nation code was the same for El Paso.

I thought they were all BU2B but not on ticketmaster I guess I'm screwed

Anyone know the El Paso Radio/Venue password for the presale this morning?

Hell Yeah, I'm Going!!! Obrigodo Rush!

5 never played live before: Camera Eye BU2B Caravan Presto Faithless

Best sound for any Rush show I have seen, really loud but really clear. They had great energy and where having a great time.

Of course it sounded great as did the entire Moving Pictures. What really stood out for me was the bass in YYZ, seemed to have more bite to it than in the past.

Spoiler**** on arrangments below. I was glad to not know this was coming so don't scroll down and read unless you really want to know! The beginning to la villa was strange and funny hard explain but enjoyable. I was done in synths in a very good way. Closer to the heart broke into a whole new little interlude before going into the normal live ending and the whole beginning of working man was a funky raggae jam. Pretty cool stuff.

Very good point. I think that playing live in the middle of the recording of an album could be a very good thing. They wrote all the songs on the road in the early days and got away from when they slowed the process down later on. I think it will be very good influence on the process!

Ears are still ringing from the sausage fest last night! Beyond the lighted stage went into how most Rush fans seem to be male and I can say that it was a sausage fest. The opening video sequence was full of sausages, it was hilarious and if that was not enought Geddy's "Bass Amp" was actually a sausage maker with links coming out one side during the whole show. There were some complaints about the set list and it was as stated except that Far Cry was actually in the 2nd set and not the encore. First off I should start by saying that I don't miss a tour. I make at least one show every time they hit the road and this was easily the best sound quality for any Rush show I have seen. I was very loud and still very clear. Geddy's voice was great on most songs, closer to the heart being the one moment it didn't sound quite right. With five songs never heard live before and several songs greatly rearranged it they kept the crowd on their toes. The biggest rearrangments were in la villa, working man and closer to the heart all being played much different than they had ever played them. I thought the set list was great after hearing it. Presto and Marathon were incredible. Neil's solo was a drastic change and he dropped a drum stick and it took him a few seconds to pull a new one, he didn't look to happy about it. Alex's new acoustic part that lead into closer to the heart was really nice. The lights were also really nice set up in a spider like array and with legs bending over head. The crowd was really good and moving pictures really got it going a lot more. The Camera Eye was great and didn't even seem that terrible long. I have to say that I'm glad they finally played it but I think I would rather hear Natural Science. Overall though I would have to say that from start to finish they kicked ass as usual. The set list was a pretty damn good ride. The best thing is knowing that they will be finishing the album over the winter and be back on the road next year. They looked great as if they could do this for another 20 year and I hope that they do!!!!

yada yada yada, blah blah blah, still sound great to me, the only strange selection to me is faithless, it kind of drags along, would have rather they broke out with we hold on but I don't really care, RUSH in 6 freak'n hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll be there middle of section 2. Two more days! Hoping for good weather!

In the End Analog Kid Countdown Something for Nothing Distant Early Warning

Time Machine Tour: Caress of Steel comes to mind. Oh how I would love to hear some fountain or necromancer!
