Any reviews on Rush Moving Pictures shows??

[zekeyou]

Awesome, awesome show last night. First time seeing them (was unable to see them on Roll The Bones and Snakes & Arrows). I kept thinking, "Holy shit, there are just 3 guys up there..."

Just saw them in Dallas last Sun. and they were amazing. As others have stated Geddy had a hard time hitting some of the super high notes on some of the earlier material (parts of "Limelight" and "2112") but otherwise they were flawless musically and really seemed to be having fun onstage. Do not hesitate, this is THE tour to see them on!

My only complaint has nothing to do with the band or the show. The date fell during the State Fair of Texas making getting to the arena, parking and leaving a complete nightmare! Anyone who was at the Dallas show will know what I mean.

First time I saw them was last night. Good show. How can you complain about anything? Is Geddy perfect? No. But so what. He tried to hit some of the higher notes and he did a really good job. Not always on, but who the hell is? Wasn't there to listen to the albums, but to hear them perform, and that they did.

Only complaint is that they should not be using chimps in that video, as such chimps lead miserable lives and often end up in testing facilities when they are no longer 'cute'.

Jeebus, all I said was his voice cracked. It was an observation/report not a complaint anyway. Chill out. And I'll say it again, it was a great show!

I also have to add that was the only drum solo I've ever enjoyed. Sounded awesome. The rotating drum riser was pretty cool.

I was at this show too, and yes the State Fair parking situation was a complete clusterfuck.

I saw Rush in The Woodlands the night before as well and Geddy sounded much better that night - I didn't notice any missed notes. I'm not sure if he was a tad "off" in Dallas because of the back-to-back nights, but it probably didn't help either. With that said, a few missed notes does not distract from the fact that everyone should try to catch them on this tour!

Saw this last night. It was great! Geddy's voice cracked a lot though when he strove for the louder, higher parts.

Funny, we were thinking a bit the opposite -- sure, he wasn't perfect, but we were surprised and pleased that he tried for those high notes and (at least to us) largely succeeded. The two guys next to us who drove from Birmingham to see the show were also visibly and vocally surprised; after "Free Will" one of 'em turned to me and said "Wow, Geddy's really on fire tonight!"

Overall, a GREAT show. I was especially pleased to see "Marathon" return -- it was always a very powerful song live -- and also "Presto."

And as for "The Camera Eye".....
Words fail.

Definitely, I saw the Atlanta show and "The Camera Eye" was one of the (many) highlights...

Yep, exactly as we thought-- and we both looked at each other in awe after "Freewill" as well...

Both the new tracks sounded extremely 'heavy', too.

I'll be seeing them for the first time tomorrow in West Palm, cant wait! Awesome pics zekeyou! I got more excited just now looking at them!

 

[Cheiron]

I wasn't too impressed by Caravan. But it seemed fairly dense, so it might shine on the album.

 

[PopLies]

Saw them back in July. Absolutely brilliant show. Loved every minute of it. By the time they got to the second set and played Moving Pictures I was on the brink of losing all self control with excitement. Seeing The Camera Eye live was incredible.

I heard this. I'm surprised they're still doing the Time Machine tour though instead of a new tour since I think the new album should be out by then.

 

[PopLies]

I'm a little disappointed that it's the same tour.. but I am still considering going to the Hamilton show. I mean... it's still Rush! Hopefully they throw in a couple new songs.
