UPDATE - 7/16@11:41PM: That's all folks! Rush treated the Chicago crowd to Setlist A as expected. They'll be back at it on Saturday night! Full setlist here.
UPDATE - 7/16@10:03PM: It's intermission and they are sticking with Setlist A as expected.
UPDATE - 7/16@7:29PM: The doors are open and the show should get underway within the next hour and a half. We are expecting Setlist A and have pre-loaded the setlist page with that assumption. We'll jump in if there are deviations or if it's a different setlist, and finalize things at the end of the night. Have a blast everybody!!
UPDATE - 7/16@2:32PM: Rush took some time out for dinner at Chicago's Au Cheval yesterday evening, and redditor vatoman78 posted a photo which includes Alex, Geddy, Howard Ungerleider, Anika Nilles (we think - looks like she's hidden behind Geddy but might be someone else) and another dude.

Ten shows down, 78 to go! Rush takes the Fifty Something tour to the Windy City this evening for the first show of a 4-night residency at Chicago's United Center. Since this is the first night in a new city, we're expecting Setlist A - the same that was played on night 1 in both LA and Fort Worth. Anything can happen though, so we'll chime in if there are any deviations from that. United Center parking opens up at 5PM, doors open at 6PM and the show starts at 7:30 (likely closer to eight). In the lead-up to tonight's show, the Chicago Tribune posted this article where they reminisce about 10 of the most epic Rush shows that have been played in Chicago over the years. Just like for LA and Fort Worth, Rush has a batch of Chicago-themed exclusive merch for the Chi-town shows, as seen in this Instagram post. They also posted this fun little reel to welcome Chicago fans. For everyone going to the show, have a blast!
