UPDATE - 6/30@9:28AM: One memorable moment from the show occurred right at the end as the band gathered front of stage to take a bow. Someone threw a cowboy hat up on stage and Alex put it on, as seen in this photo. More photos from the show here.

UPDATE - 6/29@9:03AM: There are plenty of great vids from the show on YouTube now. Here are a few:

UPDATE - 6/28@11:46PM: That's all for tonight! Just as we thought might happen, they played the exact same setlist as night #2 in LA. Full setlist here.

UPDATE - 6/28@10:10PM: It's time for intermission and the setlist is identical to LA night 2 so far as expected.

UPDATE - 6/28@8:22PM: The show should be getting underway within the next half hour or so. We're expecting a setlist similar to night 2 in LA, but we'll chime in if there are any surprises or moments of interest. Have fun everybody!!

UPDATE - 6/28@6:04PM: New jewelry item for the Fort Worth shows:

After a 2-day delay due to Wednesday's rescheduled show, Rush was finally able to kick off their 4-show stint at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas this past Friday night. The show went off without a hitch, and fans were treated to the exact same setlist that was played on opening night in LA (but without Aimee Mann on Time Stand Still). This set featured Far Cry, Natural Science, By-tor and the Snow Dog and many other highlights. This indicates that the setlist for tonight's show will likely be similar to the night 2 set from LA - which featured 2112 in its entirety - assuming they keep to that pattern. Despite not having them ready in time for Mexico City, they do have tourbooks available in Fort Worth. As we'd expected, these are slightly different from the exclusive LA tourbooks in that they include photos from the LA shows rather than rehearsals. They also have some great exclusive merch for Fort Worth, including some LE litographs and t-shirts as seen in this Instagram post. For everyone going tonight, have fun!!
