(4,475 posts)in New Orleans. I don't live there, but I am taking a big road trip vacation and combining it with the concert. I am very excited!
The rumor is that this may be their last tour.

(35,015 posts)I am not a fan, never bought a record, never went to a concert. HOWEVER - my brother idolized them as a kid, and learned to play guitar by ear to their songs. I was forced to listen to Rush on a nightly basis, snippets of songs for hours and hours, as my brother picked them out in the next room. He is a fantastic guitarist now.
SO - when I hear Rush on the radio or anywhere else, it reminds me of my brother and those times. I listen because it makes me feel happy. Thanks Rush!
