Toward the end of Working Man, they broke into a style which took to be Reggae for about one round of the chorus. Slightly weird!!!

Would some one from last night confirm and give me your take on this.

WHAT YOU LOVE IS YOUR OWN POWER!!!!

My take is those are neat lyrics from Something For Nothing... :shock:

lyrics/thong

Not just neat lyrics, my favorite RUSH lyric of all time :D

Sorry if the thong thing is not for you. Any woman would likely look great in it.

Believe it or not, I guessed Tom Sawyer! But I haven't heard anything so I guess some other lucky chap won. :(

For Columbus, I'm about 1/3rd the way back in section F (center section behind B), smack dab in the middle. Not as close as I wanted but it should sound incredible there. Hope I can bring binocs!

This looks very accurate.

Nashville's ALEX RANT was something about flying model airplanes as a kid and his "FATHER"? doing it really good but when he let ALEX take the controls, it crashed every time?????

Is the "Rant" different every time?

It seems to be just a free-association ramble.

Reading fan reviews of the last tour, it seems like there a half a dozen different monologues (or rants) that Alex would run though. I'm realy glad to see they're letting him do it again this year.

In By-Tor's links section he has a link to some La Villa rants from the VT tour. Enjoy ;)

The set list is cool, not quite what I would like in some aspects, but still great (hey, they are touring). My only gripe is - where is "The Pass"? Where did that go? How cool would that have been acoustic right after Resist? The Pass was an importanant song to me, but then again I realize that I am only one person. *Sigh* Still, would have been nice to see it in there.
