Only one month to go before I see them again... Sounds like a heck of a gig! People can say what they want about them, but the Canuck boys will always deliver the goods on stage!

Heh, we might see each other there but not know who each other are.

Hi Repner.  Welcome to PA.  I hope that you enjoy their concert.  I saw it about a month ago and thought that it was very good.  I have seen them almost 10 times.  I felt that their show was focused towards fans of their newer music with a call out to their frequent attendees by playing 3 or 4 of their more obscure older songs that hadn't been played live too often in the past.  The problem with this setlist is that even though they played for 2 1/2 hours they omitted many of their more familiar and classic songs which they have played quite often over the years.  Hopefully, that doesn't cause too much disappointment since it will be your first Rush concert.

It is probably too early to start this discussion since Snakes and Arrows is still fresh off the presses and is still being presented live for the first time on a nightly basis via their tour but I can't wait to hear their next release.  I am definitely hoping that there isn't another 5 years before their next new release since they did a fantastic job with Snakes and Arrows and hopefully this is a sign that they've got their creative juices flowing again.  It is just that as always I am already craving new material from the guys.  Have there been any indications from them on what their plans are following their tour?  I imagine that they will probably roll the bones and let fate decide what their next move is. 

Well, since this is a thread for all Rush fans, I'll indulge in a spot of self-advertising, and refer you all to my review of the Milan show. They were brilliant in 2004, but last Tuesday they surpassed themselves.

Man, this thread is still chuggin' along. Hope you had a great time at the Rush show, Raff. Saw them in August and they just blew the doors off the place. And the best part, the new stuff sounded great and fit perfectly alongside the classics. I loved how they came out after intermission and jammed S&A right down your throat.

I need to find out how to upload the photo I had taken with Alex and Geddy prior to the show. Anyone know how I can do that?

Oh, and by the way, you won't find a nicer person than Alex. Completely genuine and greets you with the biggest smile. As a thank you to Hugh Syme for getting us the backstage passes, I sent him a copy of the new Marillion (loves Afraid Of Sunlight, but has lost touch with them), and the latest Blackfield.
