Rush - Snakes & Arrows - Atlanta, GA - June 13, 2006

[Rick and Roll]

A couple of observations from a Rush fanatic....

Great review Dale.....and thanks Crib, now I don't feel so bad about missing them....

I've seen Rush 15-20 times, on every tour but one since Permanent Waves. 1980 was the first. I am certain they've played Entre Nous in the 80's. Unless they specifically said they have not...I think they have. I used to write down set lists. Maybe I can dig one out that would be fun. yesspaz and I compared King's X setlists from 15 yrs ago until now.... and I know Circumstances was played more recent than that. Dale, that and Natural Science are their more powerful songs. Surprised the show lagged there, but maybe they're old and tired!

Speaking of that, they used to jump around a lot. Geddy, since the late 80's, has had a lot to do, with his keyboards engulfing his area and he's singing, doing pedals, bass, and keys. He's seriously multi-tasking. I would like to know how the new songs are played, cause there's no keys at all save for one tune.

I'm just happy Neil is still into it. He's never been big on live shows, and all of the shit he went through about 10 years ago, he got through and is still into the band. Bravo!

Thanks again for the review.......we need more like that!
