They just keep getting better. They did 9 songs off the new album (the first 8 plus "Malignant Narcissism, on which Geddy played a Fender Jaco Pastorius J-bass) plus a bunch of old stuff. Geddy has replaced the washing machines.. with vending machines full of rotisserie chickens!

| | | | Perhaps Geddy had an epiphany himself. I just read on another forum that at the first show of the tour in Atlanta he broke out his Ric for the band's encore of "A Passage to Bangkok." |

| | | | OP: Out of curiosity, which song was it you heard?
Dave: Could you kindly type out what you remember of the setlist? |

I know its bad, but I've been solidly submerged in electronica since moving on from my Jazz/Funk phase and have pretty much spent all my effort sourcing new beats.
Plus, TB is seriously the first place i'd ever heard of Rush, none of my friends were into it and my parents never had any of their shizz.
And good to hear they are touring!!!!
