Rush 5 5 3 3
Rush does it EVERY TIME! It does not matter how many times I see Rush perform live (I saw my first Rush show in Houston way back in 1989), it is incredible every single time. I caught their last show at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Irvine, and it was more of the same. Good.` Let's face it, a Rush concert is not like a box of chocolates. You do know what you are getting every time. Here is the equation: incredible musical performances + funny videos + mind boggling drum solo = incredible Rush concert that will take you back to the first time you...went to a Rush concert. But that is okay. It wouldn't be the "Time Machine Tour" if they didn't take you back somewhere familiar. The coolest part of the show was hearing "Moving Pictures" performed live in its entirety for the first time ever. Even though you certainly know what to expect from Rush, they always manage to come up with another wrinkle to make it interesting. And even if they didn't, they would still be one of the most musically talented bands touring today. Rush is still the closest thing to a sure thing in live music. September 27, 2010
STILL Rocking Nearly 40 Years Later! Having been a long-time fan (since my 7th grade year which was 76-77), I ABSOLUTELY LOVE these three guys! I saw the Dallas stop on their Time Machine tour in September 2010. They performed some songs they hadn't performed in a long time, such as the title cut from 'Presto,' as well 'Moving Pictures' in its entirety. They also debuted two new songs [Caravans and BU2B] that will be on their forthcoming new CD and Neil Peart performed his new drum solo, always a welcome part of the RUSH concert experience. The best thing about RUSH's three members - Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart - is that they are still at their peak performance capabilities nearly 40 years after their debut. Geddy's voice has gotten richer over the years as has his bass playing. Alex's playing always soars ((or at least that is the way it feels to me!). Neil's drumming has always been a joy & thrill to listen to and watch; his lyric-writing has just gotten better than ever and more thought-provoking. The enjoyment, glee and pure pleasure these guys still exhibit in performing together is still very obvious. As a fan, that makes their concerts that much more a pleasurable experience. I urge everyone to attend at least one RUSH concert. Their music just rocks even today. There are very, very few groups about which this can be said. Long live RUSH!!!! May 4, 2011
Rush Rocks Again I've seen Rush 26 times. never a bad show. This tour was great, they are better the older they get. Worth every penny, for sure... they played for over 3 hours. October 13, 2010
