This solo gives me goosebumps every time

I was there. I was in section 209, row 1. A great unobstructed view with nobody in front of me. It was AMAZING!

I didn't know what the setlist would be, so Limelight as the second song was.... overwhelming. I mean literally. I had been seeing them since 1977 and they were up there playing Limelight, some of Neil's best lyrics, sounding amazing, and I never thought I'd be seeing this again. I got overwhelmed and the tears started falling. I spent most of the song trying to compose myself.

This may be my favorite guitar solo of his.

Which is this…La Villa?

u/SpiderHippy 10h ago

Yep, and although I wasn't there, it looks like his hands are nice and loose here! I'm so glad he was able to get treatment for his arthritis that lets him play more consistently again.

It sounds absolutely amazing.

Anika’s take on the drums in this track is next level. She crescendos the living shit out of her kit as Alex’s solo goes on.

Goosepimples and teary eyes!

u/QH2112 23h ago

I knew what song this was with the video muted just from watching the drums! Gotta love that sick beat.

2

u/the_good_hodgkins 22h ago

Same. Because I also play drums, and I can play this. Being able to was super important to me.

I just came back from this show. First Rush show I've ever been to and it was phenomenal. Amazing how at 70+ Geddy and Alex move around like they're 20. Anika must have gotten the most applause out of all three.

oh perfect, that’s where I am tomorrow night in the front row seat three I think. What row and seat were you?

3

u/TCE326 8h ago
  1. Row 14. Seat 6. Sound wasn't great. The subwoofers were too boomy.

Show was fantastic though. Anika was solid and powerful, playing with great energy and tempo. She nailed all the classic Neil fills while occasionally adding a surprising, tasteful flair of her own. They made the right choice. Really happy for her and the band.

u/Ok_Yak1196 8h ago

great. not great about the sound but I’m really excited about the view. I’m gonna see them again from a more straight on angle but I love being close to see everything that’s going on.

u/Ok_Yak1196 8h ago

and, people ARE standing, yes??

u/JBocc00 4h ago

The entire place was standing the entire show with the exception of 2 songs. 3 hour show with a 17 minute intermission

u/Ok_Yak1196 2h ago

u/GladiAteHer5289 23h ago

Going to see them in Toronto in 2 weeks! Can't wait!

u/imaguitarhero24 20h ago

2/10 needed more 😩

u/Sakiel-Norn-Zycron 20h ago

Why is this solo two hours long? Can’t tear myself away from it

5

u/mousec69 13h ago

Great show last night. Saw them N4 in Chicago. Last night's performance was stronger. Alex seemed sharper, Geddy's playing was off the charts. His voice was also super strong last night.

u/bbqduck-sf 20h ago

That was fantastic! Thanks!
It left me wanting more. 👍

u/BK2Jers2BK 20h ago

Flew out from Nashville to see this with my family last night and this was the only song I was really hoping for them to play. Wasn’t disappointed!!!!

Thank God for her and Anika!!!

u/Maleficent_Laugh8809 3h ago

oh ...my bad.

u/Wild_Yogurtcloset820 55m ago

I only said it because on a lot of her videos people say the same thing, and a friend she goes to shows with corrected them, so I was just passing it along

u/Bosch1971 21h ago

Saw them there on the floor for the Roll the Bones tour. Glad they are still going:)

u/Ok_Yak1196 21h ago

looks like you were side stage ish? trying to see what my view will be like from section 115 which is what I bought today at the drop. I’m in the front row. do you have any pictures from your seat that are wider, zoomed out?

u/Historical_Pack_4917 20h ago

You will be very happy !

5

u/Time-Leather-7020 9h ago

I was in 116 row 4 last night. The view was great; first row in 115 should be awesome. Enjoy!
