I didnt see a Toronto thread so forgive me if one had been started.
Anyway, only my 3rd Rush so ever but man was it fun.
I decided to not look at the setlist, even though i knew they were gonna play MP and the 2 new songs, then before the show one of the people i went with let it slip that they were gonna do 2112.
But other than that i was totally in the dark and was pleasantly surprised, Marathon is a song Ive been so into lately, just been listening to it non stop so hearing it live was a total mind **** for me, pure awesomeness.
The 2nd set was just total bad ass in general.
I guess my only complaint is Stick It Out, but hey it isnt all that bad, a show is never gonna be 100% perfect, mainly because they have to stop by 11PM
I love how before the show in the line outside all these tour vets are telling me how ill never get my camera in and that i shouldnt even try, guess what? i got dozens of pics to upload in the morning
The only bad part of the night was captain bring down in our group.
My buddys uncle came with us, he had seen Rush live a bunch back in the day and hadnt gone since the PW tour. After the show all he could do was bitch saying how they totally faked the whole show and that they just played to a record all night..... as he called it "Rock Version of Milli Vanilli" The urge to kick his ass was strong.
But i didnt let him ruin the night and in the end it was GREAT!
Hope you all had a good a time as i did!
