I think there are parts folks are gonna expect, but I wouldn’t expect her to try and be a robot and just play it exactly beat for beat.
I do wish them well, and while I’m cool with what they are doing, I just don’t care to go see it. If you gave me some free tickets I might go.
I don’t think they have plans for such, but I at first thought if they tried doing new songs with new drummer I wouldn’t want that at all. But, the more I think about it, I think that would actually be a lot more interesting than this tour.

I have to say Anika nailed it.
I agree and think of all the pressure and shoes she's trying to fill. I watched the youtube show where's it's just focused on her. She's solid. Go listen to that La Villa. That's a tall order. I think Tom Sawyer might be the only deviation but the band even altered it a bit.

Bought my tickets the day they went on sale. Have great seats, but wish I would have gotten a couple of extra ones. Not selling as no way am I missing this, but they’re going for 5X + what I paid, > $2k now.

The choice of her is brilliant. No man, however good, would have been accepted by Rush fans. Now, she is a great drummer, but as long as she is great "for a girl drummer", any criticism will be relatively blunted.
I mean, at a certain point, the choice is this version of Rush (and I think Geddy sounds fine - certainly as good as he has since the HoF performance) or tribute bands.
I was a kid and the perfect age for the Permanent Waves/Moving Pictures/Signals/Grace Under Pressure era. Rush was a great live band and I just never got to experience it then or even later. But some folks are going to get one last experience with Alex and Geddy and that's a good thing.

R50 will be my 12th show. Seen every tour since Presto.

I went to the 3rd show last night, they played Moving Pictures in its entirety to open the 2nd set. Really great show. Geddy’s voice not what it used to be but who’s is at 72? Anika Nilles was impressive, incredibly talented excellent choice to play Neil’s part.

Ill see them in Cleveland in September

I saw the first two in LA, we barely missed each other! The variations in the setlists is what has really shocked me so far. Anika is really great, despite the huuuge shoes she is having to fill!
If you have a chance to see them, do it!!!!!

Agreed. She's going to bring a new generation of fans while preserving the musical legacy.
I thought she was magnificent.

That opening to Tom Sawyer is epic imo. Even if you don't know rush or the song by name, chances are you still know it's "that song".

Sucks getting old. This is what I feared.

To our fans, We are deeply sorry to share that we must postpone our June 30 and July 2 shows. Geddy has been diagnosed with laryngitis and bronchitis. After being evaluated by his doctors, he has been advised that he needs additional time to rest and recover before returning to the stage. This is incredibly disappointing for all of us. We know many of you have made travel plans and have been counting down the days to these shows. Please know this decision was not made lightly. After more than 50 years of touring, we’ve always believed that if we’re going to step on stage, we owe you the very best performance we can give—and right now, that simply isn’t possible. We’re grateful to everyone involved for helping us quickly find new dates to celebrate together..

This Fort Worth mini residency is cursed. So glad I didn't get tickets for these shows. 2nd postponement. DFW is insane right now with the World Cup going on at Jerry World & all the fans from different countries all here.

Really glad I went in LA plus Aimee Mann for Time Stand Still

John Rutsey should be on there, not Anika Miles. Rutsey was a founding member and drummer for about 6 years and played on their first album. I think his credentials outweigh someone who has played 4-5 shows with the band.
