Did anyone go to this? It looks like it was a hell of a time. I didn't even know about it until now.

They did a big show where they played lots of their songs from South Park, and Ween, Primus, and Rush played some songs as well.



First song played by Matt and Trey

Kanye - Gay Fish

I went last night. Incredible experience being a giant South Park and Ween fan. Had no idea what to expect going into the show, and definitely did not expect to see a collaboration of all 3 bands. You could tell Trey was living out his dream of being in a band. They all did a great job rehearsing bc every song was done so well.

The South Park cast & crew was in the reserved seating, and families were close to stage. Great energy all around. And apparently Matt is a huge Rush fan. Trey was thanking Matt for 25 years, and surprised him by bringing out Rush. Hard to list highlights, but Uncle fricka, Blame Canada, On a Colorado Farm, Gay Fish, Merry fricking Christmas and Lemmiwinks to name a few. Looking forward to watching it again on Comedy Central on Saturday.

That is awesome. I’m so jealous as I’m a huge South Park fan, and have been from the moment my town finally got Comedy Central in 1999. Before that, a neighbor of mine had a vhs of several episodes and that was the only way I could watch.

South Park has been a huge part of my life growing up. It first aired when I was in 4th grade and I never missed an episode since. Luckily, my parents assumed it was a normal cartoon show

They did a poor job advertising the concert. From what I remember, they announced it on Comedy Central and the lotto was a couple days later. I got super lucky and drew 2 through the lotto. It sold out instantly and apparently tickets were really hard to find.

With as much fun as Trey, Matt, Primus and Ween had, I'm hopeful that they'll do it again for the 30th anniversary. It was one of the best shows I've ever been to. Really glad Comedy Central filmed it so that everyone will be able to enjoy the concert.

Um.....Geddy and Alex on stage doing a Rush song is yuge. I could have sworn that they said no more Rush tunes since Neil was gone. This makes me think they bring it pretty big when they do the Taylor Hawkins concert. Would love to see them and Dave Grohl on drums do some music together.

Danny Carey was there as well. He would be about the only one who could fill Neil's shoes.

Not quite. IIRC they said that they would never appear on stage as "Rush" or release music as "Rush." They were always open to playing Rush songs under the right circumstances.

Like this!

I watched it this morning. It was a great concert, but why the hell they didn’t play any Faith + 1!?!?
