UPDATE - 8/13@10:44PM: That's a wrap on night #4 and Rush's Toronto homecoming residency. They'll now take an 8-day break and pick things back up in Philly next weekend. Although Rush did play their expected Delta setlist, they opted for a version similar to the one they played for MSG night 4, with Distant Early Warning dropped and a different song order in set 2. However, this time they also swapped out Finding My Way for By-tor and the Snow Dog. So we have yet ANOTHER version of the Delta setlist; we'll call it D-3. Also no Aimee Mann as expected. Full setlist here. Here's a short clip of Geddy introducing The Pass and paying tribute to Neil:

UPDATE - 8/13@10:22PM: It looks like Rush is playing their D-2 set again tonight - the same one they played at MSG night 4, which means they dropped Distant Early Warning and changed the order of the 2nd set. Why? Unsure. I've updated the expected setlist page to reflect that.

Date/Time: Thursday, August 13th @ 7:45PM
Show Number: 22
Venue: Scotiabank Arena
Place: Toronto, ON
Setlist: View
Photos: TBD
Reviews: TBD

Rush will wrap up their epic, 4-show homecoming residency at Toronto's Scotiabank Arena tonight to yet another sold out crowd. We're expecting Setlist D (Delta), and likely the standard one (D-1) and not the odd D-2 set they played for MSG night 4 where they dropped Distant Early Warning and changed the order. We'll pop in if there are any deviations from that. It's also unlikely Aimee Mann will show up since she was not on hand for either of the last 2 shows; it looks like she was only available for night 1. So tonight' crowd should be treated to 2112 in full, A Farewell to Kings, The Pass and more. Just like for all their tour stops so far, Rush has a line of Toronto-exclusive merch which fans can purchase at the venue or at the pop-up shop at Henderson brewery. Doors for tonight's show open at 6:30 and the show will start at 7:45. This is the final show to be filmed, so be sure to bring the energy and make a lot of noise for the film crews, and give Rush a great send-off. Rush!!!
