Veteran rockers spark a Rush to the SECC
Rush ***** (out of five)
SECC, Glasgow, October 3Rock's mightiest trio shook the SECC to it's foundations during this three-hour music marathon. Much of the show was taken up by tracks from new album Snakes and Arrows with **** and **** stand-outs. **** was the best song of the night, with Geddy Lee showing his vocal, keyboard and bass mastery. The band sprang a surprise for hardcore fans during the encore, playing old rarity *****.
- Monty Archibald
I commented out the song titles for those who haven't seen a gig yet.

According to saltire over at Rush Tour Fly By Night was played at soundcheck (here's the complete post). This is very interesting .... Early in the North American tour Rush was playing Distant Early Warning at soundcheck, and it eventually made it into the setlist. I wonder if the same will happen with Fly By Night?
