I saw Rush last during there Grace Under Pressure tour.  I too saw them in
the Spectrum and I agree that it is a terrible place for a concert but Rush
had the best sound I have ever heard in the Spectrum!  Yes, they did cut back 
somewhat on their older songs and mostly played stuff from the last few albums.
I was very glad however when the returned for encores and did a medley of their
first album.  I wish they could of done more than what they did, because what
they did do was great!  I hate to say it but I even think I could stand to hear
their first few albums rerecorded by the Rush of today.  I must admit that is
is a real pleasure to go and watch three guys working hard to make a good
show that is enjoyed most by the quality of the music as a whole and not just
the light show or the expertise of one jammer who tries to show off all night l
long.  I would suggest returning to Rush concerts and listening to what they are
really doing, expecially if you just never thought it worth your while to even
bother to give them a listen.  These guys are intelligent, creative musicians
unlike most of the MTV style rock bands!!
