Rush kicks off their 2-night run at San Jose's SAP Center on their Fifty Something tour this evening at 7:30PM. We're expecting one of the many versions of Rush's B(ravo) setlist tonight, but which version we'll get is anybody's guess. Set 1 typically opens up (after Xanadu) with Limelight or The Spirit of Radio and closes with the same (whichever one they didn't open with). It also typically includes Freewill, La Villa Strangiato, Subdivisions and the Bravado Neil Peart tribute of course. Fans can also expect to potentially hear The Trees, Natural Science, Distant Early Warning or even The Pass at some point too. Set 2 opens with 2112 in full, and has been more predictable, with the only variation being whether they play Witch Hunt or The Garden before the Tom Sawyer closer; they've been favoring The Garden of late. Full expected setlist here. The San Jose-themed merch for tonight's show is featured in this Instagram post, and early merch sales begin at 4PM in front of the team store at Santa Clara Street. Teskes Germania restaurant and beer garden will be hosting a pre-show party at 2PM that will get underway shortly. Visit teskes-germania.com for all the details. The doors open at 6:30PM and the show starts at 7:30 (ish). For everybody going to the show, have a blast!!!!
