Reply #76: Rush Time Machine Tour. [View All]

[Iggo]

Wednesday June 22, 2011. Gibson Amphitheater at the Universal City Walk in L.A.

Great place to see a concert. And I gotta tell ya, the Rush crowd is one of the mellowest crowds I've ever been in. Rivals the YES crowd from a concert I went to back in the early 90's at the Greek Theater. Maybe that's how prog crowds are. I dunno. I'm used to metal shows.

Anyway, I hadn't seen Rush since the mid-80's. (Count Floyd introduced them on the big screen back in those days. Scaaaary, kids!) I shouldn't have waited so long. These guys are the masters. I thoroughly enjoyed almost every minute of it. (They mangled Working Man, but hey, it's their song and they can do what they want with it.)

If you love Rush, I ain't gotta tell you how great they are. All I can tell you is DO see them live at least once in your life. If you hate them, it's a waste of both our time. If yer not knowin', pick up 2112 and Moving Pictures and make up your own mind.

EDIT: Rearranged an awkwardly constructed sentence. It was bothering me. Sorry. LOL.
