Ghost of a Chance

Rush @ Xcel Center - St Paul, MN - 2008.05.22

Its refreshing to go to a concert (particularly where the crowd is advanced in age) and be able to stand for the whole show without being told to sit down. Thursdays night's performance by RUSH was an excellent one. The guys returned to top form with more energy and a better set than their 2002 tour. Its good to see that they can still play a 3 Hour show.

The Good: Dreamline (lasers!) / Ghost of a Chance/ Subdivisions/ Witch Hunt/ No Working Man. [1]
The Bad: No Presto / Counterparts


Setlist:
Limelight /Digital Man /Ghost of A Chance/Mission/ Free Will/ The Main Monkey Business/ The Larger Bowl/ Red Barchetta/The Trees/Between The Wheels /Dreamline

Far Cry/Working Them Angels/ Armor and Sword/ Spindrift/ The Way The Wind Blows/ Subdivisions/Natural Science /Witch Hunt/ Malignant Narcissism -Drum Solo /Hope/ The Spirit of Radio/ 2112/ Tom Sawyer

One Little Victory /A Passage to Bangkok /YYZ






[1] Seriously, what kind of idiot calls up KQ after the show and complains that there was no Working Man. Its a crappy song that dates from before they were really "Rush" and its was played to death on the last tour.
