Seeing them in October in Seattle.
Nice!
I'm in San Diego and it pains me to say, their reunion show wasn't really on my radar so I didn't bother trying to get tix to the Kia Forum shows.
And then the clips hit the interwebs. And freakin' Anika Nilles... Talk about a world-class virtuoso!
At this point, I started thinking, as an old Gen-X'er who used to go to rock concerts several times a year, there's just not really anyone doing the types of shows that Rush is delivering these days.
So I grabbed my teen boys together and said, "We're going to this show!" It was either San Jose or Glendale. Glendale is actually closer to San Diego than San Jose is so I pulled the trigger.
The wait though....
November for me. The Fall shows scare me...at that age anything can happen healthwise during a long tour and suddenly the back half gets canceled.
Seeing them in July.
I’ve watched some clips. Anika is good and I say this with some reservation, but I’m going to simply to see Geddy and Alex one last time and I’ll think of Neil the entire concert. It’s the only way.
