OK, I know I'm biased, but you have to admit this is a well written review
Just about sums up my feelings last night - in my humble opinion, an even better show than they put on at Wembley on the Snakes & Arrows tour a couple of years ago. Admittedly, Geddy Lee's voice did crack on a couple of occasions, but the guy's considerably older than he was when he originally recorded the vocals, so I'm prepared to forgive him the occasional waver - apart from this however, I'd say Rush put in an absolute stonker of a show last night (even Professor Peart was grinning pretty much throughout) Guardian reviewers, take note of how a review can be when written by a person who know's what he's talking about |

I'm guessing that reviewer is a big fan...
Great show, again, last night. Wonderful performance, stage show and visuals. A solid A in my book. |

Yes, that review is more like it. It sounded like a great show.

Very nice review...the writer may be a fan but he outlines the reasons Rush is so accomplished in a biased manner.
I see them at the end of June, for two of my kids it will be their 1st Rush concert.

The reviewer was definitely a fan, but I think the review was well written & probably less of a fanboy (I hate that word) job than I would have done

Definitely - I did keep an eye out for you but somehow a middle aged Rush fan seemed to blend in with 25,000 others |

I haven't read the other review, but I can't say I like this one much. I'm not that keen on the 100% positive fan type reviews.

"Guitarist Alex Lifeson looked like he was there to sell insurance "
A bit of a fanboy review but good nevertheless.
What, no front row seats this time, Jim?

Just seen a very enthusiastic review of the gig in The Sun - they have them 5 stars!

The Wall and Rush? You're having a good couple of months then

They were good (ok, better than just good) in Sheffield as well- agree with the point on the vocals, a bit disappointed for that, but that alone could not spoil the joy

Couple of months? They were within 14 days of each other Cropredy festival in August, then nothing on the live music front until Joe Bonamassa in October |
