I attended a Rush show in Berlin two days ago, and it was the best concert I've ever seen. It was also the peak of my concert insanity, being that never had I traveled such a long distance in order to see a band - not to mention that it wasn't too cheap, but man, was such a once in a lifetime experience worth it or what? Kudos to Rush, they set the bar as high as possible.

Set list:
https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/rush/2013/o2-world-berlin-germany-2bd9f06a.html

I was there to and it was defiantly one of the best I have seen on this tour. I have really enjoyed the string section throughout the tour. I love the sound they bring to Manhattan Project, YYZ, Dreamline and Red Sector A.

And yes sometimes you have to travel great distances to hear great bands. Especially with a band like Rush, since they most likely only have one more tour left in them
Here is 2 videos from Berlin. I had the best spot on my entire tour de Rush :) third row on Alex's side :metal

Wow, thank you so much for sharing those clips, they are incredible. I loved the songs from the new album, it's very likely that those are the ones I enjoyed the most.  :metal

Very nice!!  I loved Neil mouthing "We have assumed control" near the end.  Geddy's vocals will likely be a bit hit or miss, but that is pretty standard nowadays, so I can deal with it.

The presence of the R30 Overture alone makes R30 great.  I think I had forgotten how great that medley was.  And frankly, I don't know why they don't do that type of medley on every tour.  It is obvious that Geddy cannot sing a lot of those old songs anymore, but doing instrumental medleys of those 70s songs would at least be throwing a bone to fans who long to hear the band play some of that material again.

The first time I saw it, I would have agreed with you, but I really don't think it holds up well and it sounds a bit old and clunky whenever I revisit it. 

They just aren't in that space right now and it kind of shows there. I agree that it was a bone thrown to some fans more and it was probably a good way to warm up for the rest of the show.

Points for trying to make it work though.....

That's awesome!

I can tell already that as awesome as that first set is. The second set is the proverbial "whole other level"

It's going to be ridiculous. Would have been better off not knowing about it until walk into the store a few days before it comes out and grab a copy.

Not officially.

The CEO of the company that filmed it said (or let slip) it would premeire on HBO beforehand which leads to speculation that Hall of Fame footage may be included.

Trying to decide if it would be worth it to see Rush this weekend. I'm a student in Manhattan, so getting out to the Jones Beach Theater by public transportation on a Sunday evening is shaping up to be a pricy, convoluted, and time-consuming ordeal... then again, it's Rush.
