Evenin'/morning all -Just got home.

Leodis9, I think it's very presumptious of you to assume that tonights show was their last British gig ever. Based on the band's enthusiasm and the crowd's enthusiasm and Geddy's "hope to see you all again sometime down the road" I would think there is a decent chance of a return. We can only hope.

I'll post a review and pictures of EuCon/the gig tomorrow.

Yawn :-O)

I spoke to Howard Ungerleider at the gig and he said that they would definitely be returning. Geddy has repeatedly said (I have been to 3 shows on this leg of the tour) that they "will see us further down the line, sometime"

They will be back!

Great gig tonight, the sound was excellent.

News out of the review section is that Terry Brown said he dropped Rush - due to overuse of keyboards - not the other way around. Or perhaps it was mutual. We need to know more of what he said, but it's interesting. I'd never heard that before.

Yesterday was another chance for us to enjoy a night with the worlds greatest musicians rush and they delivered another fantastic memory.I was seated in block 104 with a great view and the sound was great from there, as most people have commented already there were a few repeated lines and a few guitar/bass short comings. I enjoyed the mix of songs they played, main monkey,spindrift,far cry stood out for me amongst the new ones and i felt the atmosphere just went up a level for the older material. last night was special for me as i took my 11 yr old son to his first rush concert,as the concert progressed i watched him drumming and air guitaring his favourite tracks i remembered my first concrt in 1977 t.o.t.h when i snuck in through a side door at the empire liverpool and could'nt imagine then rush spanning a generation in my own family. So a big thank you to all present last night for bringing rush to life for him in that great atmosphere

I was at the gig last night and I was amazed. As soon as they came on and played Limelight i was so excited I nearly cried, the sound was absolutey amazing and the videos were so funny. The whole band were on top form, excellent gig *****

Manchester was my 4th gig of this tour.Crowd were very good(better than London,but just behind Newcastle for energy and participation.The band were really enjoying themselves,even Neil stood up,and jokingly staggered at the end of Tom sawyer,after it seemed he made a slight mistake.If someone can confirm this i would be thankful.All the new songs benefited from being played live.Looking forward to the next time,maybe 2008?
