Rush Live in 2013 - Clockwork Angels


Any Rush fans out there? A few of us saw them Sunday in Vancouver, WA and this show propelled into my top five all time most enjoyable concerts, and that includes The Who and Genesis in 1974!

The energy, virtuosity and sheer musical power these guys have...we are lucky to have an honest hard working band that still knows how to write great and perform hreat original material all these years later.

Anyone else see them on this tour? Wow!

Cymbop--better get use to it (terrible sound at live shows).
There are exceptions.
Tostados, I'm a bit of a Phish head, and tend to be impressed with the sound at their arena shows. If you like the rock music, go seem them when they come near you.
Cymbop,

I'd expect no less from a band that's steeped in the music of the Dead, who more or less invented good sound at large venues in this country.

Would love to catch Phish some time. I like the guitar player's work with Oysterhead.
Glad to hear they still "got it".

HAve never seen them live, but I know Rush at their best is a real, well, RUSH.
Four shows this tour and loved every one of them (and I don't know how many shows over all - scores and scores). The new music is almost universally acclaimed as their best work in a couple of decades. The shows this year were awesome, well-attended, and impeccably-played.

Cymbop - as a Phishhead myself, I appreciate both their sound and Kuroda's lights - but more their sound - which almost never seems muddy unless you're stuck in a bad spot at a summer shed.

Tosta - Phish isn't "steeped in the music of the Dead". I've followed both bands for years (the Dead up until '95, and then onward with The Other Ones and Further) and the two sounds are inexorably different.
