[Rush Petition]

If you've kept in tune with the online Rush fan community over the last few tours, you are probably familiar with the Rush Petition website which just re-launched earlier today in preparation for the upcoming 2010 Rush tour. The site was the brainchild of BOS Music co-founder, Rush fan and RIAB reader Skip Daly and his partner-in-crime Al Horta. The two created the site as a means for Rush fans to voice their opinion on which Rush songs they wanted to hear live. It was first launched prior to the Vapor Trails tour back in 2001 and has been re-launched prior to every tour since then. The band has admitted in interviews that they are familiar with the site and have taken it into consideration when building out their setlists. From the revamped website:

Hello Rush fans.

With a new Rush tour confirmed to be happening in 2010, we've decided to re-launch this site for the fourth time, and do another round of fan voting. In the interest of encouraging the band to pull some 'fresh' songs out of the vault, the song list (below) is being limited to songs that Rush has not played live in the past 20 years - i.e. since the Presto tour (1990). Songs that were played live between 1991 and 2009 are excluded. As in the past, each person gets to select FIVE songs from the list below and submit their votes, with each individual being allowed to cast one "ballot". No guarantees, of course, but with any luck the band will keep an eye on the results and take the results into some degree of consideration. (We'll certainly be letting Anthem/SRO know the site is up and running again).

Please help spread the word about this page, and let's get some votes going!

Thanks!
-Skip Daly
