RUSH Clockwork Angels

All I can say is that it was loud! The first set consisted old songs. A lot of which were from Power Windows(my favorite album)! The second set was mainly CWA. I feel that their current sound suits the new album better. That along with the string section made the second more enjoyable to me. For the encore I thought tom sawyer would be the last song, which I would have been satisfied with but then the opening synth riff to 2112 started and the whole arena went nuts! It was surreal.......and loud. It was awesome to see so many older rush fans rocking out but very few asians. And I only saw a handful of young asian fans(I'm a 20 yr old Korean).

I hope you enjoy the show as much as I did!

In Seattle there was a bit too much bottom end, and a lack of mids, especially lower. Still very enjoyable!

That's interesting. I was in row 7, dead center, and I had the same problem. The low end was almost all Neil's kick, with almost no bass guitar from where I was standing. (almost inaudible) I was disappointed, but then again I've never seen a show at Key Arena with good sound.
 
I went to a bar the other night wearing my CW Angels tour shirt. A bunch of yuppie-types walked in and one of them says "Cool shirt. Wait, 2012 tour? Those guys ars still around?" So I explained it to him,Then my guitarist and I pissed off half the bar by playing Hemispheres on the juke box. The other half.of the bar loved us.
(Best juke box ever!)
