I generally tend to judge a concert by the setlist, which makes this show pretty damn great. after more than 30 years on the scene rush is a band that knows how to please its loyal fanbase. the band gave an overview of its entire career including some tracks from the overlooked counterparts record. many fans would be happy just to listen to neil peart play the drums for two hours, so i really have to hand it to the band that they play with as much passion and heart as they do. the band was having a good time and the crowd fed off of that. back in 1991 rush was my first concert. i liked them live just as much at this show.
