OT: Rush R50 (Fifty Something)

Love those guys, just not sure I can do a show without the professor.

Last night was show #2. Looks like they played 11 different songs last night than the first night. I heard that 2112 was played in its entirety for the first time since the 1997 tour. Also animate, Witch Hunt, Closer to the Heart, The Analog Kid, Leave That Thing Alone, The Trees, Headlong Flight, A Passage to Bangkok, Anthem and Finding My Way. They've got to pull from 38 songs that they're using for the tour. They played 32 of them so far in the first two shows. This is going to be so great!

A Passage to Bangkok, the song that has always instantly changed the aromatics in the arena.

I believe you could. Go check out some of the full shows on YouTube. You can see the passion coming out of the boys. Anika is nailing it. It's only going to get better as the tour goes on. Even Geddy's voice is better than R40.

No one else is getting hyped for this one? I'm seeing their first show in Fort Worth in three days! I'm also seeing the third show in Fort Worth on Sunday.

I watched some of the Mexico City show and the production behind the scenes is amazing (as always). Check this video out.

First off, badass setlist, badass production, Geddy sounded great, Anika nailed it, Alex was his normal unserious self. 2112 in its entirety. I had viewed two full shows, June 7 and June 13 in Los Angeles before tonight's show in Fort Worth. I'm attempting to capture video of the intro and my dipwad friend is griping about my bright screen and how it's distracting. I was in the middle of recording and I'm getting him talking over it. Changed the screen brightness later on. I'm blind and need it bright to see it. It was my first time really using my new phone for all of this. Anyways, it was great seeing my friend and his boys. They assured me they appreciated my hospitality and my company at the show. I had a great time.

The setlists are a mirror of the first couple of shows in LA. So, I should get the same setlist for Thursday's show as the fourth show in LA. I'm going to get a complete 2112 again. Looks like the difference is going to be The Pass, Camera Eye, The Anarchist, New World Man, A Farewell to Kings and The Garden. Looking forward to it!
