I've seen this band ever since my first concert-their Fly by Night tour when I was, well, young....lol 

Since '75 they've always put the fans first and last night in Orlando was no different.

If you were there, you know what I mean!   Rush is one of the best stage shows going and Neil Peart's drumming is still amazing to watch.

Right now I'm having morning coffee and listening to the ringing in my ears, but also glad I went with my son to our first concert together.  He had more of a good time than I did (If thats possible) and it was an experience to remember!

Wow! Rush! Now there's a blast from the past. I was in high school and that's we listened to 21 12 when we partied. I need not get into detail about the partying, I was young and stupid.

Were'nt we all, sipedo...

Honest ones will NOT say, " I smoked but didn't inhale".

Those were the days.

There were a lot of videos taken and posted on you tube by some folks, look up Rush in Orlando, "Lil Rush" for a great parody on the back screens and well, have fun!

I was big into Rush in high school. Wish I could have gone to the show. Partying to Rush comes naturally to growing up. LOL

Tom Sawyer was my senior year in High school's "song of the year" MH.

Always said Rush is an intellegent rock band...

Man, might have to catch them on their way back around to Georgia now!!! LMAO

Oh Man, can't believe I missed this one. These
guys are writing and touring like crazy lately!!!

I caught them during R30 but had to miss this
one because of $$$. I will definitely have to
take the trip to GA myself. I've never stopped
being a fan since I heard Tom Sawyer in the 70's,
in fact, that song inspired me to play drums
and I have been playing ever since. What an amazing group of musicians these guys are! And
NOBODY can write lyrics like Neil Peart! Rock on RUSH! Your integrity should be an example
to all these new hack rock/rap bands everywhere!

Just a hint for anyone who is a fan or would like to see the best stage show going-

Go to www.rush.com and sign up for their newsletter. I was notified about pre-sale tickets through the site and got a pair center ice, several feet above the stage for a GREAT view and show!

No hiked fees, got them at below cost before they went on sale to the public!

Yeah,but arenas are marked as such....so.......

Section 101 row g seats 11 & 12

Right in the middle of the arena and so close I could have hit Alex with a rock! LOL

Great suggestion Watcher. Man, I'm jealous as
hell you saw then so close. I'm ALWAYS up
in the balcony seats as I only like
arena shows, can't stand those ampitheaters!
I can't believe how fast those tickets sell!
Actually I can, RUSH fans are rabid!

Again, I think the GA show will be my saving grace! See 'ya there!
