Fifteen minutes till Rush takes the stage, and the crowd is slowly filtering in to Rogers Arena. Jethro Tull's "Locomotive Breath" on the P.A., followed by a Pink Floyd number which might be "Pigs". Just saw a hardcore fan wearing a sandwich board reading: "Oh God, there is no f***ing drummer better than Neil Peart!" That's from Family Guy, in case you didn't know.

Georgia Straight music writer Steve Newton is posting items of interest from tonight's (June 30) Rush concert at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver. Check out the full review tomorrow at www.straight.com/music.

totally....he's our buddy rich....that smashing pumpkins drummer is also a kick ass drummer too....anway, i never tire of watching neil peart, just as watching bruce lee: fast, powerful and exudes so much energy that your whole body comes alive.
