Anyway, the Rush show was amazing. Solid set list from start to finish...I can't think of any songs where it was like "oh man....next song please", which I wasn't expecting because I'm a big Rush fan. The visuals were great and their level of performance is up there with the best of them. It makes me very happy to see them performing at that level at their age. Geddy definitely was fighting for some of the higher notes, but he still sounded great. The new material comes off GREAT live. The crowd was great too, lots of hardcore fans....on second thought...the crowd was great OTHER than the hordes of the hardcore fans getting into pissing matches about who's seen Rush the most times, but for the most part it was great. I didn't lose my voice at all...I kept things tame because I had a sight singing test this morning and I didn't wanna not be able to practice on monday. My friend forgot to wear earplugs though and his head was throbbing too hard to even stop for food with me afterwards. I'll tell you what though....it's kinda weird being the 19 year old kid at the rush show who knows more of the lyrics than the 45 year old guy next to me
The only real bummer of the night was the guy next to me spilling his hot wings on my leg. Of course he was very apologetic, offered me a napkin, etc....it was also very clear that the guy on his other side bumped him. Oh well, no big deal at all. The REAL problem was that the wings smelled so goddamn amazing...so I went over to the concessions during the intermission to get some only to find out that the wings were $12 for 6 wings. I had the money...but there was no way I was spending 2$ per wing, no matter how amazing the smelled. So I starved during the second set.
however, on the way back to my apartment I stopped at mickeys and got a Steak Sandwich, Fries, coke, and a side of hashbrowns for 6 bucks or something like that. So in the long run, I win....I win hard. I've been craving hot wings since sunday night though
