i saw Rush last night at Wembley Arena!

(that's in London by the way)

they were amazing! they played music spanning their whole discography and they played it well. the sound wasn't that clear but was good enough i spose. it's hard to get the sound right at a big place like that. but yeah, all three of them were great, especially Neil Peart. he can do everything that he has ever been able to do in the past... he hasn't slowed down at all. and his drum solo.... WOW. not the best gig ever but probably in my top 10.

I saw them both nights at Wembly this week

Loved the set, dissapointed by the sound though. The worst I'd ever heard at a concert, on Wednesday night. We were sitting on the side right next to the stage. We had a great view of cables, lighting gantrys and equipment cases, but little else. It's always a pleasure to see Rush. They are may favourite band, but I think my expectations are so high, I forget that 'Exit stage left' is a produced record and not a true representation of what they sound like live. I expect to hear every note perfectly...

I was delighted that they played 'Xanadu' and 'Between the wheels' from 'Grace under pressure' a brilliant song, which I've not known them to play live before. I dont think they should have played the covers from their 'Feedback' album. I know they're all in nostalgia mode at the moment, but Rush built their following on being unique, somewhat different to most of their counterparts () at the time. People pay to see Rush play Rush songs, not Who covers. There's plenty of bands playing in pubs doing that, and they dont charge £35 to see them.
