Simply Incredible
by 6brandon6 on 2011-07-03Rogers Arena (formerly General Motors Place) - VancouverRating: 5 out of 5One of my favourite bands of all time, Rush, performed one of the best shows of my young 17-year life. Of course, I'll have chances to witness great concerts in the future, but this one sits among the golden of golds of live shows. The short video clips before they first came on and after the break were great to watch and set up the show to come nicely. Seeing Neil Peart as a very very fat man and Geddy Lee with a moustache was pretty cool. Alex Lifeson as a cop didn't get too many times though.... The performance itself was unforgettable: they were energetic, entertaining, funny, and simply loved playing for the crowd. Set list was awesome, they played some oldies like Working Man, 2112, and Time Stands Still and some newer songs, like BU2B and Far Cry. The entirety of Moving Pictures was played, something as incredible as that I will probably never witness again in live music. Tom Sawyer was amazing and I really loved YYZ. Peart's lengthy drum solo was astounding to watch, the dexterity and coordination mixed with sheer power. Unbelievable. And he did it so coolly. 3 and a half hours of pure Rush gold, I might never see a concert as fantastic as the Time Machine Tour 2011 visit to Vancouver, BC, 06.30.11.
