Here is night 4. Available to stream or download. Enjoy.

:neutral_face: I want to like her, but it still and forever hurts losing Neil. She hits the notes but with less WHACK, I don’t know.

Looking forward to seeing her and the boys in November!

I’ve been a massive Rush fan since the late 70s. Fly by Night, 2112 & Hemispheres were on permanent rotation on my boom box in the high school cafeteria. Nobody else I knew was into the band quite like I was back then. Won a talent show in 9th grade playing a Rush song. Me and my drummer buddy decided to still perform when our superstar guitar player, the guy who actually had the talent, decided to go to Hawaii 10 days before our ‘performance’. We played ‘What You’re Doing’ and won the $400 top prize, a fortune split between 2 - 14 year olds in the late 70s. We just about burned the gym down when our homemade smoke pods shot 15’ flames when the wrong black powder charge was loaded. Lol. I’ve seen Rush perform live 14 times. First show I saw was spring 1980, Permanent waves tour. Saw lots of shows during the R30-40 period. My favourite Rush concert was Red Rocks in 2010. I had chills running up and down my spine the entire 1st set with the phenomenal sound at the venue, spellbinding! SUPER STOKED to see the band perform again with Anika, have excellent floor tics for two shows in December. My current playlist is 90% Rush and is on permanent loop.

Got to see my all time favorite band once again in Detroit Friday night. Epic show and Anika On the drums was simply outstanding. 3 full hours of perfection. Can anyone guess what song they were playing from this picture?

:thinking::high_voltage: Going to go with 2112 overture, the ultimate volume test for any speakers. And the Meek Shall Inherit the Earth…

WE’VE TAKEN CARE OF EVERYTHING

Your photo is amazing! I blew it up. :wink: Well, Rush was blowing it up, I just enlarged the image. Had to have been mind blowing…

It was an incredible show from start to finish. The emotion and excitement in the room was crazy. Anika has fit in so well. They closed the shows encore with Working man and after 3 hours of playing those drums she hung up a “closed” sign on her kit to fun with the guys. It appeared they were all having a blast.

:thinking: In a three-person group the drummer really has to bring it. :smirking_face: I know Anika’s pretty there. But picture a dream team with The Gap Band’s drummer Charlie Wilson, IMO the world’s 2nd greatest percussionist after Neil. That guy hit a drum twice before he hit it. Flat out power. :wink: Unsure if he’d enjoy that genre though! :rocket: “Y’all are tripping this space shlt…”
