I had a great time at the Portland show with with my friends and RUSH roadtrippers of 30+ years. From the left are Mark, Dennis (best man @my wedding), and Jeff. I'm on the right. The four of us always put on a show for those sitting around us, as we know every lyric and note and sing/play along in concert with the band. The R40 show was a perfect end to three decades of RUSH memories with these guys.

 

Great idea for a thread, Gina!

 

I agree, great thread.

 

I was at the Portland show also. In fact I was probably in the bar you took this pic at the same time (that place across the street from the arena, right?).

 

The Portland show was great. I also saw them in Atlanta (actually Alpharetta) earlier in the tour. I loved both shows but they were definitely tighter by the time they hit Portland. I also had tickets for the last show of the tour but couldn't make it and had to sell them on StubHub.

 

My only regret is that they did the same set list on both shows I saw (setlist A, my least favorite of the sets). All of the setlists were great however.

 

I DESPERATELY wanted to see them do Natural Science!

 

But oh well.

 

Being able to see the shows you couldn't get to on Periscope that tour and chat about it in real time on this forum is another thing that made R40 very special.

 

In many ways my favorite Rush tour.

I have a picture, pre-show, from outside the L.A. Forum with a couple of my bandmates and other friends. It's one of my favorite pictures of last year. I'll try to grab it and post it later. :)
