I used to be a big RUSH fan when I was in high school, and I had the chance
to see them in concert along with Max Webster (another Canadian band)
while they were doing their _Farewell to Kings_ tour.  Frankly, I was
pretty disappointed with the performance, and this was when I liked them
the most.

I felt that Max Webster stole the show.  Max Webster was 
energetic and fun; he had the crowd on its feet for the whole set.  Then
RUSH came out and put everyone to sleep.  Liefson's solos were long and
uninteresting.  In generel, the show was static and lame.  At one point
they were actually booed by the crowd.  The only time the crowd showed any
approval at all was during a condensed version of 2112.

Needless to say, I am no longer a fan of RUSH.  They seem to be playing
to a adolecent mentallity, which is fine if you're an adolecent.

                                        "Just count the rings"
