Coming Around One More Time!

I just happened to visit the Rush web site, and read some excellent news:

After a hugely successful 2007 run, Rush are pleased to announce they will extend their Snakes & Arrows World Tour into 2008. The band will begin rehearsals in March to revamp the set list before kicking off the tour with their first ever appearance in San Juan, Puerto Rico in April.

2008 will see Rush tour in over 40 cities throughout the United States and Canada making stops in many where they haven’t performed in well over a decade including: Orlando, Oklahoma City, New Orleans, Austin, Jacksonville and Winnipeg to name a few. Along the way, Rush will play new venues in Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia and Seattle and will revisit some familiar ones in Boston, Washington and Charlotte amongst others. Rush fans can look forward to a complete tour announcement in mid January. ....

I promised Snolf the First that if they toured again, I’d take him ... so I guess I better start saving my pennies now. Wouldn’t a Rush concert meetup be just too much fun? Gotta keep that possibility in mind once the tour dates and venues are announced.

For those who didn’t make the show, here’s a vid (it goes live partway through) of a song I listened to the day before leaving for the show and thought, “This is one song I’m never gonna hear live”—imagine my surprise when the open chords rang out!
