Rush Concert!

I went to see a Rush concert tonight at the United Center. What a great band! They are awesome after playing music for 34 years (their first album was released the year I was born... I guess now you know how old I am ;). They certainly put on a great show... 3 hours of music with an intermission, no opening bands- just pure Rush. If asked my favorite part of the evening, I would have to say Neil Peart's Drum Solo. If you like Rush haven't had a chance to see them live, and even if you don't like Rush, but enjoy drums, you should see his solo- which you can see on their Live Album/DVD Rush in Rio. He is one of the best, if not THE best drummer around. The setlist below, for those interested:
