post-set, they're playing an interesting alternative version of Booker T, "Time is Tight" that's NTM.  Starts off real slow, then it's faster-than-the-original.

yeah, nice set, but nothing too extraordinary, save for Seger -- which I missed hearing btw. 

... But I think Rush made it that much better!  dudes!
 
I've seen them 3x, first on the Moving Pictures Tour, and what's not o like about that album?  I grew up on that stuff.

We're quite divided here; some like mshray absolutely LOVE Geddy & the boys; others (like me) find them unbearable -- "willfully obscure" is the phrase I usually use to describe their lyrics. Plus, Lee's voice reaches heights only dogs can hear.
