Undoubtedly the Rush show tonight was the best concert ever for me. The show was amazing. It started with this crazy short movie, it was funny good but hard to describe. The music was Spirit of the Radio in weird versions and after the movie Rush opened with that song. Actually, after the encore the show ended with another short movie which was really funny. The two guys from I Love You Man were in Rush's Green room. They are acting crazy and eat Neal's sandwich. The band walks in, they do the Slappie the bass routine. It was supposedly the one guy's birthday and they want to get his bass signed by the band. They eventually get ran out and think it's all for nothing and then Getty walks out and says, "you forgot this", handing the guy his bass. Turns out the band all signed it. Neil performed one of the most amazing drum solos I've heard or seen. Toward the end the solo goes into this big band thing that was great, Neil is awesome and I guess the horns was from Getty's synth. At one point Getty says something like, " this is the place where they had problems with the pigeons isn't it"? Referring to the Kings Of Leon ordeal. He then says, "no matter how many pigeons sh*t on Alex we aren't stopping the show". No opening band. I'm not sure how long exactly the show was but it must have been close to three hours all together. There was an intermission. Getty says they are aging rapidly and need a break. The first half after Spirit of The Radio was mostly later Rush stuff. They played a couple songs from their unreleased album, keep your ears out for Caravan, which I liked a lot. After Intermission they opened up the 2nd half with a short movie and then played the entire Moving Pictures album. Man, these guys are masters. They reached back and played Closer To The Heart, Overture from 2112, after all they done Rush came back for an encore playing an instrumental I recognize but for the life of me can't remember the title, they Reggae'd the first part of Working Man and then rocked us home. All the guys were great and of course accompanied by a spectacular light and video show. Another cool thing is my daughter came with me who is in her 20's, she couldn't name but one or so Rush songs, she says she recognized several though, she was as blown away as I was.

OK, I'm getting old, why do people pay for a seat then choose to stand the entire show My knees can't take that much standing in one place. I also need anger control because I wanted to slap the tall guy in front of me who seemed to keep moving in front of me every time I move to one side. It's like I move so I can see and shortly after his big head moves in front of me.

Any way I have no regrets what so ever shelling out the funds for Rush's, Time Machine.
