Rush heads down the US West Coast to the Bay Area tonight, bringing their R40 Live tour machine to the SAP Center in San Jose, California for show #31. After tonight only 4 more dates remain beginning with a Las Vegas show on Saturday, then Phoenix, Irvine and the final show in Los Angeles next week. After beginning the third leg of the tour with their standard three-setlist, A-B-C rotation, Rush treated the Vancouver crowd to their special G setlist last Friday night (just a variation of C). Since then they've seemed to have thrown that A-B-C-setlist sequence out the window, playing setlist B in Seattle and A in Portland. If anything, it looks like they may have reversed the order and the sequence is now C-B-A! If that's the case then we should expect setlist C tonight, although that's just a guess on my part - B would be another possibility. For more discussion on the potential setlist along with a preview of the show, check out the pre-show SPOILER review below the fold. There will be a Rush pre-party at Teskes Germania near the venue beginning at 3PM. Doors at the venue open at 6:30PM with the show scheduled to start at 7:30PM, so the band should hit the stage around 7:45-ish (PST, 10:45PM EST). For everyone going to the show, have fun, stay safe and be sure to share your reports, reviews, photos and video with us. Ruusshhhhhh!!!!!

*** pre-show SPOILER review *** As I'd mentioned above, after beginning the third leg of the tour with their standard three-setlist, A-B-C rotation, Rush treated the Vancouver crowd to their special G setlist last Friday night (just a variation of C with Losing It swapped in). Since then it looks like they may have reversed the order, playing setlist B in Seattle and A in Portland. If that's the case then I would guess that we'll see setlist C tonight, B would be another possibility. In any case, we don't expect any of the special Losing It setlists. We likely won't see that until the show in LA next week.
