The other night I got bored watching the Pirates get beat by the Rockies, so I pulled up Youtube and randomly searched for Xanadu, and found the video from the first show with Annika. And sat there the rest of the evening watching through the various songs with a big goofy grin on my face. Amazing to see Rush being Rush again, having fun on stage and knocking them out of the park, Geddy bouncing around like a kid again. Annika was the perfect choice. Will be interesting to see if they come up with some new material, maybe a new album or two.
Watching video from this tour I honestly cannot tell who is having more fun; EVERYONE is smiling ear-to-ear.
In a world of 8 billion humans, the fact there’s even ONE who can beat the cans behind Ged and Al and have them and the fans all feeling that the music of Rush has really come alive, again...
Annika isn’t a lucky pick; she’s Divine Intervention.
