After their 4-night opening stint in LA, and a 2-show detour south of the border in Mexico City last week, Rush returns to the US this evening to kick off a 4-night mini-residency at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas. Given the host of surprises we've witnessed over these first 6 shows, we're not going to even attempt to predict the setlist beyond saying there should be a similar distribution of songs over the 4 nights as there were in LA. Meaning that a couple of shows will likely include 2112 in full, at least one full performance of Moving Pictures, and we should see a repeat of Natural Science, A Farewell to Kings and others at some point. The only things likely to remain consistent with all the other shows is the Xanadu opener, the Working Man closer and the 2 Neil Peart tributes during Bravado and Time Stand Still. There's also the question of whether Aimee Mann or some other surprise guest might appear at some point (we're not expecting her at any of these shows, but you never know). On that note, Les Claypool's Claypool Gold tour (a show featuring Primus, Les Claypool's Frog Brigade, and The Claypool Lennon Delirium) played a show in Austin last night and will play Irving (between Dallas and Fort Worth) tomorrow night, with an off-day today (thanks Tom D). Could we see Les Claypool make an appearance on stage tonight? Might Geddy and/or Alex show up tomorrow night on their off night for Claypool's show? It's a long shot, but with all the surprises we've seen so far, I wouldn't discount the possibility. If you don't have tickets to tonight's show yet, there are plenty available on the re-sale market and via brokers. For everyone going to the show, have a blast!
