I saw them on this tour and as expected from Rush, it was excellent. The set was great and even though they played a shorter version of Xanadu, it was great just to be able to hear that song in any form and it's one of my top concert moments ever.

Same here, the opening guitar sent tons of chills down my spine when it got played. Might be one of the last tours they play it, hoping not though.

Planning to see these guys on June 10th. Love Mystic Rhythms, and Xanadu is my favorite Rush song. (And has to be one of the greatest songs of all time.) With that being said I still think the time machine tour setlist looks better. Hopefully they don't change it too much this year.

I don't thik they'll change the set much if at all this time around. If they do it maybe just be somehting like switching Stick It Out and Wrokin' Them Angles with something else. Kinda like what they did on the second leg of the S&A tour where they just swaped like two or three songs around.

Alex mentioned something before last summers tour about doing Jacob's Ladder but it didn't happen. Maybe this leg they will do it

Gah, what a setlist.

Damn. Would love to have seen that setlist.

Mystic Rhythms? Fuck yes!

I saw Rush on the same tour in Toronto, it was my first time seeing them. It was also probably the best time, but every Rush show is ridiculously awesome anyway. I remember trying to wake up my buddy before the drum solo, he was passed out shitfaced in his seat. He wouldn't wake up so we took his Expos cap and newfie'd it instead.
