UPDATE - 3/31@9:51AM: Here's a photo gallery of last night's show from a local news station (thanks Power Windows).
UPDATE - 3/31@7:53AM: One new thing from last night were the t-shirts that get thrown out to the audience towards the end of the show. Alex did the honors this time and the shirt has his character from the concert videos - Slobovich - on them with the slogan, Slobovich says... (front) the last time someone grabbed my sausage ... (back). You can check out some photos sent in by reader angiodan by clicking on the thumbnails.
UPDATE - 3/30@11:12PM: The show's over and no setlist changes or new videos. As expected, it was the exact same show as on the 2010 tour.
UPDATE - 3/30@9:57PM: Rush.com has launched a newly refreshed website to celebrate the kickoff of the 2011 Time Machine Tour. Still no setlist changes or show surprises. It sounds like Alex wasn't lying.
UPDATE - 3/30@9:39PM: RIAB is having issues due to heavy traffic - it's up and down. But I've been told that there were NO setlist changes/surprises through intermission (thanks Mary Jo).
Rush will be kicking off the 2011 leg of the Time Machine Tour tonight at 7:30PM in Sunrise, FL at the Bank Atlantic Center. The band has stated in interviews that the show and setlist won't be changing from the 2010 tour, but if there are any surprises I'll post them here. And if you are going tonight and notice any changes, please let us know. For everyone going to the show, have fun, be safe and make sure to share your reports, reviews, and photos with us. Rush on!!!
