You come off as assuming that they need all of that absolutely any time they play live.

That was meant to be a joke. About what I posted first. Plus they should play a couple of songs not just Tom Sawyer. They are touring Snakes and Arrows why not play Far Cry?

Gotta help me out here...what is the "chicken roaster" and how does it relate to bass tone?
I personally would go with the washer and dryer backline instead of the stacks, but not everyone would get the joke 
Besides, something tells me Geddy and the boys will not be humping gear, they've got about 30 road toads for that! |

They also cut the song short. Yeah, I know they can't let them play forever, but what the **** is the point of booking them if you won't let them play a single song all the way through?
Disappointing. What little they did broadcast sounded great though.

They couldn't play the whole song... time constraints. I liked the interview. Neil telling Colbert not to sell his hand on eBay was hilarious.
At least they made a joke out of how long their songs are.
All-in-all, a good performance... by both Rush and Colbert.
I am on the lookout for a Colbert/Rush TShirt!
Geddy's voice has aged, but he still does a damn fine job. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
