Rush concert for flood relief
by Anonymous on 2013-08-09Enmax Centrium - Red DeerThis was my first opportunity to see Rush live and I was blown away. Their play list was fantastic, a great mix of old favourites and current material - I immediately bought their newest album after hearing so much of it live! The string ensemble added in the second half was a very pleasant surprise. Geddy's minimal banter and the band's obvious joy to be playing made this seem very intimate and special (the smaller arena meant that all seats were good and close). I am proud to say that I've seen Rush live, and I highly recommend this experience to all ages (I am 60 but was impressed by the enthusiasm of so many younger fans). And to hear that the concert raised a half million dollars for flood relief makes me even prouder to be Canadian!
