This is my TR on the Rush concert |
freakin awesome !!!! Damn Getty lee has not one bit of voice timbre , power or energy. life son was a virtuoso and Peart like one would expect was otherworldly in both his presentation , complexity and stamina . The dude is from another dimension.
OK now that I got that said he goes , 3 freaking hrs , no warm up band , one 15 minute break , fantastic lightshowand graphics and pyros BUT a new twist in the second set , a real first time thing for rush .
More about it later , they as one would expect presented the NEW CD/album for the most part and the complexity and duration and mix of effects was Rushian to say the least. The venue was super , great sound and no visual obstructions so the SOUND came thru in WAVES it was great . the new stuff obviously has a few obviously "commercial release " quality songs and riffs , the balance of the stuff will take some time to HEAR . in other words we listened to those BUT really won't hear it till we are more familiar with the STORYLINE that typically is behind most of Rush's stuff. It is complex and an auditory cornucopia that no doubt will be great once folks GET it .
Then the new surprise they are backed by a 10to 12 person string ensemble we,re talkin CEllos , violas and violins that accompany them in a super effective presentation highly AMPED in several new cuts Then THEY REPRISED into the KNOWN stuff from the past and , place went APESHIT !!!!!! OMG never saw so freakin many aged Air Drummers and Headbangers , it was a HOOT ,
. The Drum monkey went nuts and me his mom and the Queen were boppin right along RAWK on and the experience was a fantastic nite .
Life ain't a dress rehearsal: Spread enthusiasm , avoid negative nuts.
