Yeah, I gotta go with this. 2112 was an amazing tour indeed. I truly loved Rush. Exit Stage Left was a great live album. Moving Pictures was epic, Tom Sawyer is a classic. =d>

I saw the 2112 tour in Nashville. That was WAAAAAY before most bands even had those laser light type shows, BUT, they had a GIANT screen behind the stage and as the intro for one of the first songs, a spaceship was flying around moons and planets, etc. Then al of a sudden, they hit a hard chord and Peart pounded the bass drum at the exact same time some of the BIGGEST multiple sets of fire type cannons blew off and I was right on the front rail, I could feel the heat and that set the stage, they rocked the hell out of that place!!! They had one helluva laser show as well along with that big screen behind them while they played.
Honestly, you had to be into their music to enjoy the 2112 album, I enjoyed hard rock and the setup that Peart had, I'm talking tubular bells that were huge, as well as a long set of smaller chimes. Technically, he was hard to compare to any other drummer, but that's just my opinion. Although I've been to see hundreds of bands in my lifetime.
On that note, my wife is a few years younger and had hardly been to ANY concerts when we married in 2005, so I had seen most of mine during the 70's and 80's. Most in the 70's were just $6-8, and at Carnival Musicfest/Memphis in May, there would be 4-5 stages with bands playing at all times!! So, I decide to treat her to a Boston concert and HOT DAMN, was I in for a surprise!!!!! It costs an arm, leg and possibly a nut as well to get near the front of most concerts nowadays!!!!! The ticket prices start at the 100 buck mark and then they start adding on fees, etc, etc. Normally a couple hundred bucks to get in a riser section!!!!
