According to the press release, a live album is due in April. This is good, because it suggests they will revamp the set list from last time (which was great, but I like some variety, too).

Also, according to a statement from Neil on his website, a live DVD of the tour will be available, filmed in Rotterdam if I am not mistaken.

I'm not thrilled with their choice of venue here in Detroit.  I would have much preferred to see them at the Palace or outdoors at DTE Energy again.  Being at Joe Louis Arena on June 10th is going to interfere with the Red Wings' Stanley Cup playoffs run.   Probably won't stop me from going to see them however since beggars can't be choosers.

Yes, there will be a DVD - I was there when they recorded it, think I mentioned it in the Rush in Rotterdam thread at the time. You all get to see me on it, if all goes well Wink

Okay, I feel better now. Apparently Rush is playing the Ampitheater and not some free concert. Other acts on the same stage as Rush that are playing the same festival are Tool, Roger Waters and Bon Jovi. Also, some newer acts like the Fray and Panic at the Disco and Ludacris (he may not be new, but in relative terms), Toby Keith. You get the idea. Smile

We have that beautiful new Sprint Center in downtown Kansas City, and they have it at Starlight. Starlight is a cool outdoor theater, but weird that they're having it down there.

Have to make it out there to see them again.

I'm also surprized to see that when they come to KC they're going to have the show at Starlight.  I saw them when they came here this past Aug (my 2nd time).   If the rumors are true about Yes touring again I won't be going to see Rush too....money is tight.
