Rush!

Saw Rush last night with my youngest son. Wow! Dare I say it was the best concert I ever went to? One of my all time favorite bands, and Alex Lifeson is one of my favorite guitarists. Our seats were closer than I thought, front row on the first level riser, about 25 yards from Alex Lifeson I could see what chords, etc. he was playing from where I was.

I've been to a lot of concerts over the years, although admittedly I remember very little of some of the ones I saw in the 70's, for "obvious" reasons. But the overall show, and the musicianship in particular, was jaw-dropping.

How loud was it?

Saw them twice recently for the Time Machine tour. Both shows were stellar. Alex's leads were transcendent at times. Glad you enjoyed the show!

Bad seats, perhaps? Yeah, there were some pretty bad seats in the 70s.

Kurt - It was not as loud as I was expecting - an excellent mix by the way, certainly loud enough, but not the loudest I've ever been to.

Joe - Yes, I had some bad seats - particularly those 70's "general admission" concerts where you were lucky to survive on the floor. But I've never been this close, which made a huge difference in my enjoyment level, watching Lifeson play up close. And, just to be clear, my memory is "hazy" because in the 70's, there always seemed to be a smoky sweet "haze" around me!
