    Rush rules. I find their recent albums a little lacking of that Rush quality, though. Still incredible musicians and creators...Very inspiring.

    Probably won't be in Nashville due to Starwood closing...but between Starwood and back in the day at Municipal they've played Nashville 15 or 20 times. I think they even played Murphy Center at MTSU one year. Go see them in Atlanta or wherever.

    It does suck about starwood.

    RUSH is amazing!!! I really didn't get into them until their R30 tour but I am hooked and awaiting the tour and album. Tickets for 3 shows already and hoping to see 2 more besides. I heard a bit of Snakes and Arroes... I have to say it is different then what I ahve heard from them lyric wise but the music... AMAZING!!!

    Nice to see there are others here that enjoy them. :)

    They're good... but never really caught my attention too much. They're no Yes, in my opinion.

    Rush has some great songs, but as a whole, their music tends to get on my nerves.

    Wow, it's 33 years after they formed... And they just made an album that is my favorite: Snakes and Arrows. Is that impressive or what? It was Hold Your Fire, but Snakes and Arrows is better for me. Just awesome. :)

    I liked Rush back in the 70's and possibly early 80's, but they changed and went to more radio friendly music, in other words, they caved and gave in and sold out. Songs such as By-Tor, Working Man, In the Mood, the entire 2112 epic, all killer stuff, but their music from the mid 80's onward just doesnt compare to their music before that.

    YYZ is incredible at that show.

    Earthshine is a gem as well, because the solo is a lot more vivid, and funkier then the studio mix.

    Another one I loved was By-Tor that was a real treat.

    My favorite though was Leave that Thing Alone, that bass solo/jam is one of the greatest things I've heard come out of that instrument.

    I saw one of these shows! Can't remember the year, but it was in Denver and they were on the "Farewell to kings " tour.
    Their performance of "Xanadu" was a bit tentative, Geddy, with his new footpedal synth triggering and Pert struggling with the pulse sync. It was still quite awesome, 'specialy for me, cause I was playing lead guitar for a band that performed the entire 2112
    side, three nites a week at the local dives. And believe it or not, we actually had the drummer to pull it off! (Tony, I miss you man!) Of all the Rush we played, the song I looked forward to playing lead solos the most was "Train to Bangkok".:cool:
