Oh well. Doesn't affect my enjoyment of the music and video. Negative Nancy is not in my circle of friends. Sort of shocked that now, Optimistic Olivia now has a "retired drummer" for a Dad; her/their needs are greater than ours; individually or collectively. Peart Family FTW. Besides, how can RUSH top Clockwork Angels and their next R40 tour? CA + R40 are their epic grapefruit/honeydew...I am both sated and satisfied. The Garden can grow from all of their seeds and crops and harvests, bountifully. I have come to terms with it, saying. No offense, either-- friends... We got lucky or, fortunate with Vapor Trails (and it's not all about Neil, or is it, but w/e). Two more increasingly EPIC albums S+A, CA and you cannot beat Headlong Flight, BU2B, The Garden. Why try? These guys are my ABSOLUTE favorite band ever, since 1983, and I can only applaud/thank/relish/enjoy/re-listen/re-listen/listen again to all of the (live) albums. ATWAS, ESL, ASOH and on, plus the numerous bootlegs I acquired in the '90s. Well, I only care to share how they've influenced me, and I think my happy gravy boat is full, or at least complete. Circa 1997: <Well what were our briefs and griefs then...hurry up Neil..?> NP's been thru hell and back, and back. My suggestion: Put Clockwork Angels on, all the way to The Garden, Philosophize? Hugs, guys...sorry for the rant... My sense upon seeing the Vancouver show this summer was that they are so done. But you know, R40 Anthem is on Blu-Ray right now...gotta run...

Ya, more 'mistakes' than any other live release...oh well.... this is still as epic as it can be

Copeland, Hawkins, Smith...? AND- What is the origin of this curious photo?

Is that Carrie lower right?

All I can do is smile and glow...and possibly return to normal life?

I believe the mini-trainwreck for DEW was that the intro synth-effect didn't sound at the beginning and Alex sort of clipped out, not knowing the song had started...then Alex was mouthing around "Am I off?" A tech came up behind him and helped fix...he wasn't off, I think his in-ear monitor got unplugged from his rear waist/belt, but all the while he played and could be heard, just not by himself. Neil was yelling at Gump too Losing It got a massive applause....Geddy was just spot on, I didn't cringe once.

Muddville=SLC Not that surprising to me, saddened

"Each of us..." A cell of hypnotism? HELIUM? Love Free Will and Limelight, but they've been performed magnificiently, my2 cents Never forget ESL.

It is what it is, and whatever... Lime is still the infinite jest...?

Sorry, all I meant is that anyone's specific and/or unpermitting agenda sometimes frustrates me. I've drummed live enough times in bands to know that the heart and matter of playing new or old material lies by default. within the performers. Clockwork Angels is a bold, noble and appropriate opening route. Unlike before, but it should really be no surprise, RUSH etched their elbow-grease and pride of the newest material (as most band would...) to ROCK THIS MF concert. More to come, right? : D

Sorry you feel that way in your lonely corner.

THIS IS FORKING AWESOME!!!!!

I'll take it any/all, as long as there is "still no guitar"....living it all again...ooohhhh yaa!!

Good comment Scotts, I follow ya.

I could swear Neil's tshirt gun completely misfired the two shirts and they just put them away...? Am I wrong?

As for Alex being miffed, I believe in the 2nd set at the beginning, right away he was fiddling with his right in-ear monitor as if it was either poorly fastened or was just too low in the mix for him. He fiddled with it a couple times, motioned to the tech to turn it up, but I don't think he got too too pissed off. I was right in front of him.

Awesome awesome awesome!!! Got to the ticket window trembling and anticipating, slowly opened the envelope...... ROW 1 SEAT # 12 Alex !!!! Then, the banner got home on the front row railing and is the 1st photo on the official site: http://photos.rush.com/Rush2013/Vancouver/30760841_cgKzB4#!i=2659578958&k=cdgqBTs Was soo fun, now I have to find my lost phone....and my voice too I guess.

Edm, sweet! I have more confidence now too! Thanks for your vote!

The plot thickens....

You share, I read, respond and say you are bang-on with observance, I shall see this on Friday, woo frkn hoo!!!!!!!!!

Xmac, thanks for yet further affirmation that next week's concert will be another epic for me-- And this album has outdone all others, like I say at each release....but it never decreases being true, and CA is even oodles better than S+A. I've been listening to CA every day for over a year! WOOHOO Cant wait to share my glee.

OMG!!! You guys are stoking the fire of my big steel wheels!!!! Unreal!!! I think it'll happen! This is awesome feedback!

Two tickets front row???? WOW there is hope!!!! WOOHOO Ya, I got the purchase right away, somehow my refresh caught that window/tab before others would open up for me. Transaction stamp was 12:00:30, cannot wait!

Thanks for your stories, SG. :D-13:

I get to pick up my VIP seat next week at the Vancouver BC show. I am totally curious if not dying and salivating to know how people’s experiences have been with these VIP seats in various cities. Sometimes market demand per city is different, right? I got my seat transaction confirmed in under 30 seconds, so I am hoping for 1st dibs, seems safe to presume IMO. Will I get front row again?? Has anyone got front row from VIP?
