RUSH 2008

Rush came back to Cincinnati to play Riverbend for the second time on their latest tour. They were, of course, Amazing. They Rock and they are musically perfect. Lil' Rush rocks too.. hehe

The sunset with the audience on the lawn

The Pavillion (again)

The silhouette of the dimly lit crowd

And Holy Cow... check out this video; The Band, the music, the freakin' insane crowd... the seething mass of humanity (YIKES!) at their show in Rio!!

YYZ is such an awesome instrumental... I think the band looked a little scared of the amazing crowd at one point... but they still nailed it. *smile*

RUSH

Me and my friend R, just got back from the RUSH concert at the Riverbend Pavillion.

Awesome show!!

They rocked the Ohio River bank from about 8pm to 9pm, took about a 25 minute break and then returned to the stage and played all the way up to 10:56pm. Two and half hours of masterful musicianship... Wow!

They were pretty tight and sounded so good. Amazingly professional performers, they played lots of their old hits along with some stuff off their newest musical effort, Snakes and Arrows.

Now, I gotta admit, I was not at all familiar with their new CD but from what I heard at the show, it sounds like it's a pretty good CD.

It was a very nice night with comfortable temperatures and a beautiful sky. And the music played as the sunset over the hills of Kentucky just across the river. When Venus appeared in the sky and the stars came out; there were then stars all around, both on stage and skyward as well.

A nice night indeed.

Oh... and P.S. We went to O'Charleys before the show. My first time to go there... It was good... and I had the best Onion Rings I've ever had in my life! hehe
