"Echoes with the sounds of salesmen"

Rush Concert Review live at Amway Arena
Orlando, FL Tuesday April 15th

In todays musical landscape, where pop artists lip synch 40 minute sets, rock bands sell out faster then Playstation 3’s, it was a breath of fresh air to witness RUSH perform a marathon 3 hour 15 minute.

After the first few songs, Geddy Lee stated: “We aren’t Spring Chickens,” so it was only fitting they would play a heavenly inspired set playing old favorites, rarities and a huge chunk of material from their new album, “Snakes and Arrows”, which is superb. Drummer Neil Peart, Vocalist/Bassist Geddy Lee & Alex Lifeson showed that their musical chops and prowess are as intense as ever. One of the most highly influential bands, air-drummers in the audience outnumbered about 7 to 1. In an era when there is a lack of honesty being bellowed by artists and musicians, it is truly enlightening to see a band together for over 30 years still cherish each song, each show and display a musical integrity which needs to be re-administered into a stale Rock n Roll environment.

RUSH ROCKS!!
