UPDATE - 5/29@10:21AM: Attendance / Capacity: 8432 / 8432
Gross Ticket Sales: 568067

UPDATE - 4/14@1:00PM: There are already a bunch of pics from the show up on Rush.com in the Multimedia: Rush on the Road section. As a bonus, they include some pics of the crew loading up the equipment for the crossover to the US. Cool.

UPDATE - 4/14@11:56AM: There are no official attendance figures for this show yet, but the entire upper deck was curtained off, and tickets reissued for all those sections for the lower bowl. Thanks to Sean for the info and the pics.

UPDATE - 4/13@11:04PM: Show's over. Same setlist as opening night.

UPDATE - 4/13@9:03PM: The show started around 7:45. It's now intermission and the first set was identical to the setlist from opening night (thanks Sean).

Rush plays their first US date on the 2008 leg of the Snakes & Arrows tour tonight in Sunrise, FL at the BankAtlantic Center. Here's a little preview article for the show that reader Sean sent me from the South Florida Sun-Sentinel titled Enduring Rush, Geddy Lee keep creative, play Sunrise. It contains a few interview segments with Geddy Lee.

There's some speculation that the band might have a slightly different setlist for the mainland US dates so we'll keep a close eye on things tonight. I have a spy in place that will be texting me the setlist, and if there are any changes/additions or interesting tidbits to report I'll post them here. For those of you going tonight, have a great time!

Date/Time: Sunday, April 13th @ 7:30PM
Show Number: 2
Venue: BankAtlantic Center
Place: Sunrise, FL
