Agreed. I'm still going to make it to one show, but I've now decided not to go to more than that. Hopefully next summer will be a lot better.

Its a decent song IMO but I just don't understand why that would be what they chose out of an album full of great tunes. I'd have killed for Animate.

I refuse to complain about their setlists, but I feel like this tour is one great tune away from being incredible. The first set has some good stuff (I'm glad to get Faithless and Stick it Out), but the addition of JL, Xan, or something of the sort in that set could really put this tour over the top. I'm still totally excited to see them though. 8/22!!!

God I hope... But seriously, I'm cool with no lasers since everyone seems to be saying the show was awesome anyway.

Well, its not what I hoped for, but I will never complain. I can't wait to see them later in the tour.

Wow, this is exciting. Now I may have to buck up and make it to Thursday's show.

The smile picture is fantastic. Great job!

I'm actually looking forward to Faithless and the Counterparts tunes, but I could do without Presto. Regardless, I'm still stoked about the show.

The Godfather. Don't flame me. Its true.

These are some good looking shirts. Probably th Lightning or Steam for me.

Xanadu Animate

I think they have played both these songs on 11 different tours or something. Even In The Mood would be better than Working Man IMO. In The Mood would have been nice over Working Man, in my opinion as well. But I'm dying to hear La Villa, because this is only my second Rush concert after S & A, so I have yet to hear it, and I'm dying for them to play it. This is my second show too after S&A, so I'm totally stoked about La Villa.

Even as a classical music major I say no.

I want to say I paid like 40 for one during S&A, so I can deal with it. Plus those new shirts look really sweet.

I TRULY hope that the first set is incorrect. Its just downright boring. At least LVS is there, but no JL is super disappointing.

I'm not even going to begin to put them in an order, these are just wish-list tunes: Xanadu Red Sector A Bastille Day Anthem Animate Cygnus, however much I can get. La Villa Strangiato Subdivisions Cut to the Chase The Spirit of Radio Afterimage Cinderella Man Farewell to Kings The Twilight Zone By-Tor The Trees Vapor Trails Freewill Armor and Sword Jacob's Ladder

Agreed. I'd be content with 3 or 4 S&A tunes, but anything more than that is a bit much for a new tour considering that did two full S&A tours.

Nice. Unfortunately is about another two months for me...

August is so far away...

St. Louis, no question. Fantastic venue, and the crowd will be great. You won't regret it.

Stand. Period.

QUOTE (TheBluePhoenix @ Jun 22 2010, 08:39 AM) I am just stoked that they are showing no signs of slowing down even considering their ages. Agreed, but late 50s isn't necessarily so old anymore. If they continue to record and tour like other bands have been doing (Stone, Eagles, etc.), we might get treated to a whole decade or so more Rush. Here's hoping.

I'm not a fan fan of Mark, he hasn't proven himself to me that he can play anything other than that role. Yeah I think that most actors are like that. Casting is what's important and I thought he did a good job in this movie. Most mediocre actors are like this.
