UPDATE - 7/11@11:59PM: That's a wrap! As expected, they played the same setlist as LA night #3 (setlist C). Geddy sounded great and they'll be back at it Monday night. Full setlist here.

UPDATE - 7/11@9:42PM: We're about half-way through the first set, and they are playing setlist C (same as LA night #3) as expected so far. Several fan reports saying Geddy's voice sounds just fine, so that's great news! Follow along with the setlist here.
UPDATE - 7/11@8:36PM: The show should be getting underway soon, and there are a good number of empty seats due to the reschedule. We'll soon find out how Ged's voice has held up after the illness. We're expecting the same (or similar) setlist as LA show #3, but will chime in if there are any deviations or anything noteworthy to report.

Rush returns to Fort Worth tonight to finish off their 4-night stint at Dickies Arena that was supposed to have wrapped up last month, but was delayed due to Geddy Lee being diagnosed with laryngitis. Geddy's feeling better, the truck rigs are at the arena, and the stage is set for another epic show. The first 2 Fort Worth shows took place without issues, and saw the band perform the exact same sets that they performed on nights 1 and 2 in LA. So we expect that tonight's show should then mirror LA night #3, which saw the band perform the entire Moving Pictures album. The Texas shows are also the debut of Rush's standard tourbook - identical to the exclusive LA tourbooks except for the photos, which include shots from the LA shows as opposed to just rehearsal photos. There is some some great exclusive merch for Fort Worth as well, including some LE lithographs, t-shirts and jewelry as seen in this Instagram post. Geddy Lee posted a video message to Instagram yesterday, with his dog Dottie in hand, saying how bored they both are of rehearsing and are ready to get back out on stage:
