It doesn’t help that their entire catalog is reduced to three songs continually recycled on Classic rock stations. I’ve seen every tour since Power Windows (‘86). All of them have been clever, funny, very professional, and respectful to their fans. I remember Geddy practically trapped by being almost buried in keyboards during the “Hold Your Fire” tour. The South Park “Lil Rush” short is on point about what this band is about live. (I laugh just thinking about it.) And I’m glad they were able to salvage the recording to capture the energy that was the “Rush in Rio” album. I will say none of the crowds at my concerts sang along to “YYZ”. Their final album tour was extraordinary, particularly with the string section. It was one of my top concert experiences, along with Pink Floyd’s Division Bell (PULSE) tour (boy was that a spectacle). That said, the execution of their final tour was perfect as they counted down almost their entire catalog against a constantly shifting stage piece. These guys constantly produced and performed for 40 years, never resting on their laurels. Total pros.
