What a great show, as always with Rush. I decided to go to this show 1) because the Cleveland show is over a month away and I couldn't wait and 2) because Cleveland is getting Set B and I really wanted to see Bravado and Manhattan Project.

I like 80's Rush as much as any Rush so I was really happy to see some deep cuts added for this tour. The reception was pretty good for everything, especially Red Sector A. I like how they decided to split up the drum solos. The one for Headlong Flight was really epic!

I'm also really glad they added Grand Finale at the end of 2112 to end the show. They should do that everytime they play it.

Highlights were plenty, but I REALLY enjoyed Bravado, Where's My Thing, Manhattan Project and everything from the new album. The string section was an awesome touch. Plus all of the players were really energetic.

T-shirts (about five designs) were $35. DVD's $20, Clockwork Angels book $20, hats $25 (I think), plus a bunch of other stuff.

Now I await the October 28th show...

What is set A & B now? Didn't they make some changes so that there are actually differing versions of A & B? Am I still getting set B on 11/17?

The only changes from the original sets A and B are they are switching The Spirit of Radio with Working Man on some dates and Seven Cities of Gold with Wish Them Well, regardless of having set A or B.

The rest of the songs switching each night should be:

Set A cities get - The Body Electric, Bravado, Manhattan Project
Set B cities get - Middletown Dreams, The Pass, Dreamline
