RUSH to Return for 2026 North American Tour

[Floyd Eye]

i understand wanting to play live, but cant they do that in smaller venues as solo artist, or "Alex and Geddy", or as PanterA should have done, start a new band with capable musicians where they can do an extended "tribute" set every night to scratch that itch if it wasnt really about money??

Yeah I’d prefer that too. Not calling it Rush, but it’s not my business.

I'll wait to see some show reviews or YT videos before deciding if I want to make a trip to see them. I have played in a Rush tribute before with a drummer who made up his own parts and it made my blood boil. And I have played in one where the drummer nailed it every time exactly as on the album (studio or live version), and I loved it. So I am a cork sniffer. But for what these tix will cost, I want some assurance of satisfaction. Flame away.

They may very well just want to get out there and play again and good for them. Is she the best drummer they could find?.....I don't know but I'm not sure she is up to Neil Peart's standards, I could be wrong I don't know much about her.

Those prices for tickets are kind of a Fuck You to the fans though.

well, she's no Bun E. Carlos,


/S


but Jeff Beck approved

Last time I saw Jeff Beck, Vinnie Colaiuta was on drums and I think JB had a cellist too. IIRC, Sting calls Vinnie "the thief" because he steals every show. And he did on this last JB show too. So I don't know that JB's choice of a backing band means that much. He's not gonna work with hacks, but he was never playing to a Rush nerd audience either.
