UPDATE - 9/24@10:31AM: Here's some video of the encore. It doesn't look like Anika did any kind of special "gag" this time from what I can tell:

UPDATE - 9/23@11:59PM: That's it for night 1 in San Antonio! They'll be back at it Friday night. Rush gave us yet another version of their Bravo setlist tonight (B-8), this one with Distant Early Warning in the slot just before the set 1 Limelight closer, and with Witch Hunt in place of The Garden just before the Tom Sawyer closer. Full setlist here. Good night!

UPDATE - 9/23@10:17PM: It's now intermission time and Rush stuck with the Bravo setlist in set 1 ... mostly. We did have one deviation; they put Distant Early Warning in the slot just before the Limelight closer, making this yet ANOTHER variation. Full setlist up to this point here.

Date/Time: Wednesday, September 23rd @ 7:30PM
Show Number: 33

Rush is now over halfway through the North American leg of the Fifty Something tour, and they'll kick off the second half by heading back to the Lone Star state this evening to play the first of a pair of shows at San Antonio's Frost Bank Center. We're expecting some form of Rush's Bravo setlist this evening, although which of the many versions is anybody's guess. Night 1 in Cleveland saw the most significant changes to that set to date, where set 1 was more like the Delta sets than anything else, while set 2 followed the B pattern closely. Whatever version they end up playing, fans can be fairly certain that it will include 2112 in full to begin set 2, as all the Bravo sets have featured that performance. Full expected setlist here. The San Antonio-themed merch for tonight's show is featured in this Instagram post, and early merch sales begin at 4PM at two locations; SE Exterior Box Office, and also at the East Gate Entrance. The doors open at 6:30PM and the show starts at 7:30 (ish). For everybody going to the show, have a great time!!!
