Heck, while you're at it, ask them if they'll play at Porcfest! I can dream, can't I? ;-)

Yeah I thought I'd ask Alex, Neal and Geddy if they would come play my backyard.

Later in the show I watched 10,000 heads bopping in time to the syncopated rhythms of YYZ, man I was happy to be with so many folks that enjoyed RUSH as much as I do.

Did it look like this?

That video was from the way-cool R30 tour.
Neil Peart is the god of drums.

Actually, that video is from the Vapor Trails tour and "Rush In Rio" DVD. Neil Peart is playing his older red drum set in the video. Had it been from the 30th Anniversary tour, it would have been his 30th Anniversary drum set in black sparkle with the various album images.

+1 for the RUSH aficionado.

My Dad has agreed to come to NH to help take care of his grandchild during ProcFest and, more relevantly to this thread, during the Rush concert. Wooo-hooo!!!

Now not only can Irena and I enjoy the concert knowing our child is in good hands, some of y'all can meet my Dad.
He left England because he didn't like the oppressive society there ("they are subjects, not citizens"), and went to Canada.
He left Canada because he didn't like the Socialism there, and came to the US.

He shoots -- makes his own bullets in the basement.

When we were growing up, he told my brother and I over and over again some of the things he learned when he fought in WWII:
   * "It's not the criminals you need to fear -- it's the law and order men"
   * "You will see the jackboots march again in your lifetime."
   * "When you're hungry enough, rats are damn good food."

He's somewhat concerned for me, I think... he doesn't know what to make of Libertarians. He considers himself a Republican, mostly because of how much he despises Socialism.

Please make him feel welcome if you see him at PF '07.

That should be great for you two. Enjoy the concert.

Your Dad sounds like a good man Denis. I'm sure folks will make him feel very welcome. 

One of my ancestors fled England as a deserter to Canada changed his name and later came to the US.

Man I'm bumming I couldn't see this tour. (Hat tip to Sunni)
Audio is distorted, but I can feel the energy, the South Park intro had me laughing.
