AdamMontanari 09.16.26	Awesome & jealous.
rockandmetaljunkie 09.16.26	who was the drummer?
smaugman 09.16.26	Are ye joking, junkie?
BookoftheFallen 09.16.26	Annika niles. There was also a keyboard player.
rockandmetaljunkie 09.16.26	"Are ye joking, junkie?" No
rockandmetaljunkie 09.16.26	So they continued without Peart? fucking weasels...
RunOfTheMill 09.16.26	She rules from the live vids I've seen @junkie 'tis the plight of legacy bands
RunOfTheMill 09.16.26	@Book so I guess Geddy was just focusing on playing bass and vocals?
Zac124 09.16.26	Lucky! What an amazing setlist as well. Considered getting myself tickets but they were so expensive.
Titan 09.16.26	Great decision for them to continue post-Peart because they sound better than they did since at least the Time Machine Tour. The visuals are incredible and they're having a blast. Anika is amazing as well and I hope they officially make her a member of the band and not just a touring musician. She's earned it. I saw them twice on this tour at MSG and they rank near the top out of all 34 Rush concerts I've seen so far. I'm going to both Tampa shows as well and have the Limelight front row VIP with meet and greet for the 2nd one. A lot of money, yes, but also very rewarding.
unclereich 09.16.26	you cant take the money with you. fuck it
BookoftheFallen 09.16.26	I bought a ticket last minute and it was $180. Not that bad.
smaugman 09.17.26	I am a little sad to see they aren't playing anything from power windows/HYF and presto with the exception of Time stand still. they're only playing the "classics" but I wish they could surprise a little more, as seeing the setlist is very similar to previous tours
BookoftheFallen 09.17.26	They played two songs from roll the bones though
smaugman 09.17.26	roll the bones is like my 2nd least favorite rush record though, after test for echo
smaugman 09.17.26	ok maybe 3rd or 4th, after debut and test for echo
rockandmetaljunkie 09.17.26	"tis the plight of legacy bands" I agree. But for every legacy band that carried on after losing a member, there's always Led Zeppelin as the example on the other side of the argument...
Titan 09.18.26	Roll The Bones has 2 songs that are amongst the best they ever wrote Smaug - they did play The Pass at a handful of shows but haven’t in a while now
Titan 09.18.26	Hah! I just looked at tonight’s setlist and The Pass was played again in the first set.
SuzyC 09.19.26	I hope I can see them again. It has been decades since the last time I saw them in Georgia, even longer than the last time I saw them in Mississippi.
