UPDATE - 10/22@4:23PM: Apparently there was a little snafu of sorts during 2112 when Alex stepped on a button he wasn't supposed to, creating a jazz version of the song as Lerxst explains here. And for Anika's end-of-show gag, she took some time out to do a little cleaning, as seen in this video:

UPDATE - 10/22@8:41AM: Rush gave us another version (G-3) of their G(orgo) setlist last night, this one featuring Distant Early Warning and A Farewell to Kings in set 1 along with some other nice surprises. In set 2 they inserted Closer to the Heart between the Time Stand Still tribute and the full Moving Pictures. Full setlist here.
UPDATE - 10/21@10:14PM: It's intermission time, and Rush looks to be playing the expected G(orgo) setlist tonight, although a new variation. Set 1 is similar to the other 2 G shows in Fort Worth and Houston, but it had some nice surprises including Distant Early Warning and A Farewell to Kings. Set 2 should open with 2112 in full, then Time Stand Still and close out with MP in full (out of order so they can close with Tom Sawyer). Full setlist so far here.

The show will go on! After being forced to cancel this past Saturday night's gig in San Jose due to drummer Anika Nilles coming down with the flu, Rush heads back east for a couple of one-off shows starting tonight at St. Louis' Enterprise Center. The band's show earlier this month in Houston was the only other one-off show of the tour so far, and that performance featured the rare G(orgo) setlist that includes BOTH 2112 and Moving Pictures in full. The only other time they've performed that set was for the Fort Worth make-up show. In both cases, the band opened set 2 with 2112 in full, played the Time Stand Still tribute, and then busted into Moving Pictures (albeit not in album order). However, the first set for both of those shows varied considerably, so there's no telling what that might include (outside of the Xanadu opener and Bravado tribute). All that said, since they are also playing yet another one-off show in just 2 days in Cincy, it's possible they might do something different rather than do 2 back-to-back G(orgo) shows. Suffice it to say that we'll be keeping a close eye on the setlist tonight, and it's not at all unlikely that they do something unexpected. For now, we'll assume they'll be doing a G(orgo) set but will chime in if anything changes. Full expected setlist here. The St. Louis-themed merch for tonight's show is featured in this Instagram post, and early merch sales begin at 4PM at the Clark Avenue entrance near the parking garage. The doors open at 6:30PM and the show starts at 7:30 (ish). For everybody going tonight, have a blast!!!!
