UPDATE - 9/1@9:31AM: Here's a review from CityPages.com.

UPDATE - 8/28@5:03PM: Official photos have been posted over at Rush.com in the Multimedia: Rush on the Road section.

UPDATE - 8/28@11:43AM: Here's a review from the Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune (thanks Jim M). The crew wore some special Big Al'z 57th Birthday t-shirts modeled off of the label on Heinz 57 bottles to celebrate Lerxst's birthday. Reader hermy snapped this photo of his son with Rush lighting director Howard Ungerleider who is sporting one of the shirts.

UPDATE - 8/28@9:56AM: Here's a review from the Pioneer Press (thanks katskahnne). It sounds like Alex had a good birthday:

... Lifeson — who celebrated his birthday Friday with the onstage presentation of a foot-long Pronto Pup and a pork chop on a stick — let loose with the kind of classic rock solo filled with the grandeur of guitar gods. ...

Rush plays the Grandstand at the Minnesota State Fair this evening for show #26 on the Time Machine Tour and to celebrate Alex Lifeson's 57th birthday. Fellow longtime rockers KISS will also be playing the Fair later next week, and the Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune recently featured a couple of articles on the fans of both bands. There's this article which focuses on the love 'em or hate 'em attitude most people have regarding the two bands. And our own Rush/Geddy Lee superfan PetieLee was profiled (along with her awesome Rush tatoos) in this article titled Some fairly fanatical fans. For everyone going to the show have fun, be safe, share your photos/videos/reports and wish Alex Lifeson a happy birthday for us all ... And don't forget to keep voting for Rush in the NASA Space Rock contest (the cheating by certain Trekkies seems to have been curtailed for the time being)!
