A couple of weeks ago I confessed to my colleagues this would be the first summer I would not see Rush in many tours. Maybe that was a signal to the planets. That next Sunday Palladia aired the new Rush movie, Behind the Lighted Stage. Hale showed interest.
Hmm…
I quickly scanned tickets online for the DC show September 18. Like most of their tour, the show is virtually sold out. Lawn seats were the only thing left. StubHub provided a reasonable remedy.
So we’re going. Upon hearing the news that she was invited to a Rush concert, Hale provided the hardest high-five of her life. My hand is still stinging.
Below I offer a mix of my favorite Rush tunes of the new era. Rush has been making music for 40 years. Modern era would be the last 20-ish. Enjoy!
