Rush - Snakes & Arrows - Atlanta, GA - June 13, 2006

[PFD]

I've seen Rush on every tour since Subdivisions. Looking forward to seeing them do their "home" gig in Toronto in September.

Set list looks interesting. Nice to see them do Entrenous and Circumstances. Wow, they've really dumped Vapour Trails, haven't they? Like you, I could do without Summertime Blues. Waste of a song.

All in all a good set. You can't please everybody.

Well, that's one old hippies opinion. I think you will all have a great time. Enjoy, either live, or vicariously through your friends or your local favorite internet radio site (like Aural Moon).

Don't let my "7" disappoint you. I'm a very stern critic. You have to know I was in the theatre business most of my life. I have very high standards. A 7 is a very high rating in my book. And the musical end of the show was top knotch. Sound was impeccable. But then, I'm also too old to stand for 3 hours too for no real reason. It may have just been my section that were non afficiandos and pulled the energy down. Other sections of the theatre may not have been that way. And I did have the B&C with me. She's not a big Rush fan so she wasn't 100% into the show either.

But as I said, this is just this old hippie's opinion.
