Rush plays show number 2 at Cleveland's Rocket Arena tonight before heading to Texas next week. Rush surprised us with a very different Bravo setlist Thursday night, which was really more of a combination of the old night 4 Delta setlists and the Bravo setlist. The first set followed the Delta setlist exactly in set 1 except with La Villa Strangiato replacing The Camera Eye, while set 2 followed the last several Bravo sets exactly. Despite all that, in the setlist photos that have emerged online, Rush is referring to this one as a Bravo setlist, so we'll keep that convention. For tonight, we are expecting the standard Charlie setlist, although after what we saw Thursday night, it's anybody's guess. I think it's safe to say that we'll get Moving Pictures in its entirety though. Full expected setlist here. The Rush the Rock Hall event got off to a great start yesterday with panels featuring Hugh Syme and Kevin J. Anderson, along with a panel featuring Donna Halper called From Working Man to the Spirit of Radio: Rush, Radio, and Industry. Today's festivities include a Rush Nerds Rush the Rock Hall Panel at 2PM with yours truly (Ed Stenger), Jillian Maryonovich (RUSHCON), Matt Wardlaw (Ultimate Classic Rock), Annie Zaleski (author) and Rush superfan/archivist/historian Ray Wawrzyniak. The Cleveland-themed merch for tonight's show is featured in this Instagram post, and the outdoor merch booth will open at 3PM outside the venue. The doors open at 6PM and the show starts at 7:30 (ish). We'll be attending the show tonight, so we won't be posting many updates to this thread in real-time throughout the show. I'll instead be posting any updates to social media, so be sure to follow RIAB on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X and other channels to get all the updates. For everybody going to the show, have a blast!!!
