I went to the Birmingham NEC show last night.It was far too loud in my opinion..very poor sound quality.The band were good though ..especially Alex Lifeson..and they played an excellent set. I most enjoyed doing the 'shouty bits' during 2112.

I saw them on Sunday at the MEN Arena and they were absolutely marvellous. I have seen every tour they have done in this country, and this was the best since The Tour Of The Hemispheres! The sound ftom the floor level was the best I've heard from them for many a long time, maybe ever, although the bass drum did occasionally drown out Ged's bass. Alex Lifeson was incredible (note all the superlatives-they are merited!) and he seems to be moving into a different league all of his own! Vibro baby-the drum solo was as incredible as always. -------------

| I missed them when they came to Cleveland!!! Any idea when they'll go out on the road again? I hope they don't call it quits... that would be devastating to have never seen them play live. |

Saw them at Wembley (London) both nights. They were brilliant. They'll always be my top band.

I had to choose between Rush and Yes in Montreal and I went for Yes because Ive seen Rush twice already. I'm really wishing that I went now! -Led ------------- "...but I am Lost..." |

Although I don't live in Montreal (Or Canada), I did get to see both shows. You were missing a great Rush show. But that Yes show was also something else. -------------

I can't really explain how big this was for me! I've waited since 1981 to see them play live, and now it happened. As Rush was my ticket to prog music, and have stayed a fav band ever since I heard "Exit Stage.." for the first time I was moved to tears when Alex hit the guitar lick to "Spirit.." The sound in the Globen arena (Sweden) was great at the beginning but after the break something happened (damn sound engineers!) but the boys played really well and the 3 hour show felt like a 20 minutes. The playing was brilliant and Ged sang really well too, all them high notes that sometimes get, hrmm, missed, during live performances. Not only because I'm a huge Rush fan, but, this was one of the best show I've ever seen! It even beat Zappa-88! ------------- Never trust a person who claims to tell the truth. |
