theprestobunnies Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) I may very well be the only person here who hasn't seen this but I just found out about this concert the other day and am shocked I had never heard of it before.Even more shocked to see they played a short cover of "Paint it Black" and I've never heard about it.That being the case, I figured I'd share in case anyone else hasn't. Looks like this was between the VT tour and R30 tour. Toronto SARS Benefit Concert July 30th, 2003450,000 fans (Wow!!)AC/DC, Rush, Justin Timberlake, The Flaming Lips, The Isley Brothers and The Guess Who http://youtu.be/Im04kIyseEo According to setlist.fm: Tom SawyerLimelightDreamlineYYZFreewillCloser to the HeartPaint It Black (Rolling Stones cover)The Spirit of Radio There is also a video of the "entire concert" but it is lacking songs from that setlist, so I'm assuming they were just cut from the video.Rush starts at about 49:20 http://youtu.be/0SSRfkwX9s8 Edited January 8, 2014 by theprestobunnies 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snaked Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 So was I. A very fun day! Hot, sweaty and rather miserable TBH. At least they decided to give away free bottled water fairly early in the day. I went through about a dozen by the time we left right after RUSH's set.

And an amused/confused/dumbfounded Charlie Watts gawking at Neil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrinx Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 It was hot but it was an outdoor summer festival concert. And you left too early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytserush Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I wasn't there. Can't say this is a DVD that I watch a lot, but it's pretty cool when I do put it in. Mostly for Paint It Black.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andreww Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 As good as Rush is and as epic as the Rolling Stones are, it was ACDC that absolutely stole that show. I didn't end up going and I was glad I didn't. It was so frigging hot that day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrinx Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 You missed a great day though and AC/DC were awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Bay Rush Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 The last place I'd ever be seen is in a crowd of 450,000, Rush or not. That would be horrible if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Rush were in fine form considering they were out vacationing and gathered of course to help out their home town. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
