Yes it was a great show. I agree about the second half being the best. The thing is, the setlist for the first part was great but it was still daylight outside. Rush, for me, is just an indoor venue band (if there is such a thing).
The daylight took away from the video clips we saw for "Subdivisions", "Red
Barchetta", "The Trees", etc. that would've had greater effect had they been played in the second half. "Between the Wheels" and "Mystic Rhythms" back to back (in the second half) were perfect.
This was my eighth Rush concert and the performance was remarkable of course. If I could change one thing about it, though, the venue would be indoors.
