I'd like to see Rush on their current tour if possible - Possibly in Seattle in October. Their opening night was last night (June 7) in Los Angeles. I saw that someone recorded it and posted it on YouTube.

Annika Nilles did a wonderful job at the gig, kudos to her.

Unpopular opinion: I'm not a fan of Geddy Lee's singing recently. He's
having a harder time hitting the high notes, understandably, and it
seems like he either drops it down way too far or struggles to his the
notes he used to hit. I'd think taking everything down a notch might be
better.

I've noticed his voice changing, although I think he sounds better in the videos I've seen of their recent opening concert, compared their last concert tour in 2015.

It's definitely not the same, though I'm thankful they decided to continue touring. And I think Anika Nilles is doing a great job.

I thought the same about Chris Squire. The only person I thought who
could fill in for him was John Wetton, who'd also passed away.

There's a live recording online of John Wetton playing the bass line
and singing Roundabout on one of his solo shows, that's a handful...

Hearing Geddy Lee play with them on their hall of fame induction was
nice, Geddy did an impressive job IMO.

I'm seeing them tomorrow night. Anika is killing it. She doesn't play every part exactly like Neil, but I think that's part of what make it special. There are plenty of drummers that can play those songs note for note. It's nice hear a fresh take and her style is pretty incredible all on its own, so adding that to Rush is a plus.

I had a long commute last night, ran into a couple of accidents on my
(normally) 2 hour commute. Listened to Signals and Grace Under Pressure
back-to-back on the way home. I so should have gone to see them on the
Signals tour...

Yeah, from what I've seen, I think she's been doing a great job. I'd thought about possibly going to LA to see them, but I'm considering possibly seeing them in Seattle, which is scheduled for October.

They were great. I love that they're playing a significantly different set each night. We were treated to all of Moving Pictures, in order (Tom Sawyer, Red Barchetta, YYZ, etc.). Dreamline and New World Man were also surprise "first time played" this tour songs. I think there are still some unplayed songs that they've likely worked-up for Saturday and future cities/shows. So far, they haven't played anything from Caress, Power Windows, T4E, or Vapor Trails (maybe others I'm not recalling), but still - a very full night of music. And Anika killed it. I've been a fan of hers since she first appeared on YouTube like 12 or more years ago, and though she's not traditionally a "Rush-type" drummer, she's absolutely an incredible drummer and she's sounding great with Rush. A great choice. Highly recommended.

It sounds like it was an awesome set. In particular, I think it would be awesome to see them play all of Moving Pictures. I considered going to their Time Machine tour in 2011 but I didn't - I wish I had. I have the blu-ray of that tour, and sometimes I like watching bits of it (as I do with their other tours that I have on DVD/blu-ray).

I have seen Rush a few times, and the first for me was their Vapor Trails tour in 2002. There was one point where they were jamming and Alex went into one of his silly stories (which I think he is known for): "I'd like to tell you about a time when I was attacked by a sandwich.." In their concert videos, I think they tend to leave out things like that, but I wish they'd leave them in. He doesn't do that at every show though.

I posted a couple live vids here a few days ago. There have been more popping up on YouTube as they've played a couple more shows so far.
