So night 2 in Mexico City was basically a 6th setlist.

Mexico City
Night 1 - was same as LA night 3 except Finding My Way instead of By Tor in the encore
Night 2 - same as LA night 2 except The Anarchist instead of Headlong Flight in set 1; Distant Early Warning instead of Anthem in set 2; and By Tor instead of Finding My Way in the encore

Man, I am sorry I missed this message at the show. My buddy and I got worn out by the "Cerveza, Ron, whiskey, y tequila" guys as the night wore on. Moving slow today for even the old dude that I have become.

Love seeing the pics from previous shows. Getting pumped for next week in Ft Worth!

Question for those who have been to a show already or might be going to the FW shows this week:
I bought the Stick it Out VIP tickets (I know...lolpoor, blah blah blah...), but do you get an email before the show outlining any more specific info about entry, etc.?

I thought someone mentioned this in a previous post but I can't find it, and the digital tickets don't really say anything that I can see.

I bought the Superconductor package for the first night in LA.

A couple days before the show I got a great Email with all the instructions on how to access the VIP check-in, the schedule of events, etc.

My advice is get there 30-45 minutes earlier than you think you need to. The crowds will be big and their ability to process people was semi-efficient but not super-efficient.

Thanks! That's what I was looking for. It was your post that I was thinking of but must have skimmed over it too quickly.

Wasn't Neil Peart the only reason people loved that band?

It sure wasn't for Geddy Lee's vocals.


Ouch…. But I agree

Ummmm no. As a drummer yes Neil was the big draw. But I love their music and his vocals at least are a fit for what they do. He has a great range and quite powerful (moreso when younger) for that high range and is known for being pretty much pitch perfect. It's also bright, clear and he has great diction. Those things do matter. Better than some of the muddled crap you hear with many heavy rock bands in particular.

I would out him maybe top 25-35 of rock vocalists. I know many would have him lower. But among singing bass players he is also probably top 7 or 8 at least for combined skill. McCartney and Sting being the top and Benjamin Orr and Peter Cetera are top 5. I'd have to think about others. but Geddy is up there for sure.

Extended set list would be nice. Free swag?. Maybe a special t shirt. I'm sure they'll think of something.

I think prices for my Friday ticket may blow up but I've still got it if someone scheduled for tonight's show can't make the rescheduled show and wants to go Friday. Working out logistics now.

I was hoping that cancellation was a hoax.

I definitely want to know more about their border related delays.

And of course the comments section.

Something similar happened as far as scheduling in spring of 2008 for Snakes and Arrows

Rush was to play in New Orleans but NBA playoffs went long for the Pelicans and they had to swap the NO and Woodlands dates. Woodlands got moved a day earlier which is crazy

We met some people that had arrived a day early from the U.K. to see Rush and they got in their shuttle from the airport to the hotel at like 6pm and were talking to the driver about them coming for the concert

He said "that show got moved to today!"

They had him drive them to the venue and go leave their luggage with the hotel staff. That's a bold move

That sucks. Sorry for anyone who was planning to go tonight. Hope you are able to make the makeup date work.

We bought tickets for Friday's show in the Closer to the Heart section but have not seen an email with details yet. Anyone else received info yet? Thanks!

Yeah, my daughter and I had tickets for that Billy Joel and Stevie Nicks concert at ATT and it was supposed to be in. I think it was April 2023 originally and Covid got it canceled and it was pushed back almost a year. We didn't see it until I think March 2024.

Should get it this afternoon. Check your spam folder, that's where I found mine.

But if you can't make the makeup date, I might be interested in taking a ticket or two off your hands.

Cartel strikes again? I was thinking one of the equipment buses might have been a cartel target.
