RUSH Tickets

I've seen Rush a lot of times over the years and all their shows have been great but this was definitely the best of all of them. The stage set changed throughout the show as they worked backwards from Clockwork Angles to Rush.

Great show! Rush sounds better than ever. Excellent set list.

Rush was amazing!! The rock trio was great from start to finish. Every song was like it was off the recording. Would recommend that you see them before they are gone.

Whatever ailments Alex and Neil are suffering you would never know for they didn't miss a beat. Geddy's voice has not sounded this good I'm years. Without giving away any spoilers, the set list couldn't have been any better for me as they played 5 of my all-time favorites. Maybe the best Rush show I have ever seen.

When Rush announced this tour back in January, I knew I had to be there. I've seen this band perform live many times, as far back as the Fly By Night tour back in the 70s. As usual, these guys put on an incredible show June 8th at Nationwide Arena. I love how they went backward in time, from their new material to their self-titled debut. The stage changed as they went, going from full-on Clockwork Angels fury to the stacks of amps of earlier years to the simple setup of a band just starting out. Very Cool. I hope this wasn't the end for the Power Trio, but I will never forget the great times and awesome music they've given me over the years. Thanks Rush!

Saw them last night in Buffalo and they were amazing. If you have never been to a Rush concert it is a must see. If you have been to many Rush shows like me and my friends who are rabid Rush fans you will be blown away. Personally I love every Rush album ever made so I am biased. You owe it to the band to go to the show just to say THANK YOU to 3 guys who have been rocking out for 40+ amazing years. Do yourself a favor and enjoy what a special band this Canadian Trio are and what they have done for live performances over their entire career. Even 24 hours later I am still amazed at the show they put on last night - I will never forget it.

This retrospective show really delivers on all levels! Both new and old fans should be satisfied as the boys work backward from Clockwork Angels all the way to the John Rutsey days. Some eras are less-represented, but they tend to be the areas that were showcased on the last tour. As the music gets earlier and earlier, the effects, stage set and equipment are changed to reflect that. There are many great surprises in the always-fun videos, and the encore is a rare treat. Don't miss this show, particularly since this may be the last big tour.

I have seen every Rush concert since 1991, and this was one of their best concerts ever. Did they play every song I wanted them to play? No. Did the bunnies and the kimonos make appearances? No. Did that affect the great playing and generally great atmosphere? No.

what a wonderful show to mark the bands 40th anniversary.they roll back into time playing some older tunes with songs you don't normally hear them perform.don't miss rush as this may be their final large tour.

Excellent performance great venue proper sound level extremely exciting

My third visit to Nationwide Arena and second time seeing Rush live in concert in what was a memorable, progressive-rock flavored experience, featuring two and a half hours of classic Rush music, a state-of-the-art laser light show complete with pyrotechnics, a fully-animated video backdrop flanked by video monitors on either side of the elaborate stage (featuring props from the Time Machine Tour), an energetic and finely-tuned band, along with an atmosphere of high-tech, new millennium rock and roll that, along with shafts of laser light, flooded the arena and could even be heard from outside the venue and well into the night. From the moment the R40-adorned curtain went up before a zealous, capacity crowd, the excitement and anticipation of the audience was rewarded by a smoking 3-song suite from the Clockwork Angels album, backed by album-themed video and multicolored lighting that was synchronized with the band's performance, and at times even flashed in unison with its riffs and drum beats. Once again, I had an excellent view of the stage from the AEP Power Level, and about the only drawback from being so high up (aside from the cramped, miniaturized seating) was a lackluster mix in which it was tough to discern the multitude of "sound events" from one another. This was first noticeable as the band launched into "Far Cry" (Snakes and Arrows) and the bass and rhythm guitars simply overpowered (or perhaps crushed) any live synthesizer samples that may have been triggered throughout the song. As the band segued into its first instrumental (The Main Monkey Business), the synth (samples) could be heard better for the remainder of set one, which included hit singles from Vapor Trails, Counterparts, Roll The Bones, Grace Under Pressure, and Signals; the songs "Distant Early Warning" and "Subdivisions" closed out the set and were highlighted by the original videos from 1984 and 1982, respectively. Following a twenty-minute intermission, the curtain went up for a second time and the band re-emerged onstage, performing "Tom Sawyer", followed by "Red Barchetta" (accompanied by Moving Pictures-themed video animation) along with "The Spirit of Radio". These songs were by far the most crowd-participatory (unless you consider the overture of 2112) and there was no way I was sitting down for any of them. The marquee number of the second set for me was "Jacob's Ladder"-a song that the band had not performed live since 1980-and I was pleased to see Geddy perform all of the original synthesizer parts on his Roland Fantom-X7. He also sang remarkably well for someone who has been fronting the band for over forty years (and, yes, he still has plenty of high notes in his usable range along with all of his bass guitar chops). Following authentic renditions of Cygnus X-1 Book II (Hemispheres Part I Prelude) and Book 1 (from "A Farewell to Kings"), the band continued delving into its 1970's discography, performing "Closer to the Heart" and a spectacular rendition of "Xanadu", featuring a classical, English-themed stage setup along with double-neck electric and bass guitars and Geddy's (Little Phatty) Moog synth (which sadly has been separated from his X7 on this tour). And just when you thought the second set couldn't possibly get any better, the band closed it out with an abbreviated version of 2112, incorporating intergalactic video and another spectacular laser light show, which provided an out-of-this-world space odyssey for a jubilant audience. For the encore, Rush opened with "Lakeside Park" (from 1975's Caress of Steel album) - a fitting summer anthem that echoed throughout Nationwide Arena and could even be heard from outside its walls in the heart of the Arena District, on what was memorable, seventy-something degree night in downtown Columbus.

The best concert I have seen in years. Have seen Rush for over 30 years, this was the pinnacle. They keep getting better and better. Hopefully not the last time we get to see them.

Wow - after 40 years, they still have it! A great way to end their touring life

Rush always puts on a top-notch show! They sound as good now as they did 20 years ago. They are my favorite, and will always be in my catalog for road music.

I was amazed. All those sounds. So few people on stage. Of course, Rush has always been like that. I have seen them almost every tour since signals. I missed Hold your Fire tour. Well I have to say this show was in the top 5. Geddy was on fire! His voice was strong. Wow how he can belt it out still. The whole band was on and if this is the last time I get to go see them live I am completely satisfied!

... they were awesome! I always like their pre-show videos... the set list, as well as the the stage production was most appropriate, chronicling their 40 years of music... I thought Geddy's voice also sounded great, even on the older numbers... You won't be able to tell if Peart has tendonitis (still pounding away!)... Overall, a wonderful evening with some good friends... Thanks, Alex, Neil, and Geddy!

These guys put on one of the best shows in rock music and have for nearly all of my lifetime. You can never go wrong seeing them, and I sincerely hope that this isn't the last tour.

I won't be a spoiler, but I've seen Rush 37 times and this gig ranked in my top 3 all time

40th Anniversary show was well done. Geddy's voice isn't always there anymore, but their musicianship is always top notch!

Awesome show. A lot of thought and planning went into it. The shuttle to and from the distant parking was a welcome surprise. You won't come across a more civilized group of fans. There was hardly any trash on the ground after the show.
