UPDATE - 7/2@10:50AM: Here's a much better review at The Pitch to counter that crummy one in the Kansas City Star (thanks hermy).

UPDATE - 7/2@10:20AM: Here's a very unflattering review of the show from the Kansas City Star's Michael Judge (thanks third hand grace).

UPDATE - 7/2@10:14AM: Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy was at the show last night by Neil Peart's invitation and tweeted about it (thanks Mark R). Here are his latest few posts along with this photo of Mike and Neil in front of Neil's new kit:

# I am truly humbled to have developed a friendship with one of my childhood heroes...

# A big thank you to Bubba for his generous hospitality & the royal treatment he gave to me and Marlene at Rush's show tonight in Kansas City

# Not only is Neil Peart an exceptional drummer and an inspirational human being, he is an incredibly gracious host!

# As I have 2 days off from the DT tour, I'm flying to Kansas City to catch Rush...(thx to the gracious Mr. Peart for the personal invite!)

The Rush Time Machine moves east one timezone to play the Starlight Theatre in Kansas City tonight for show #2. A mystery reader texted me from the Kansas City Royals baseball game last night letting me know that Geddy was in attendance and included a couple of photos. Reader Zachary B was also at the game and says that they played Limelight and The Spirit of Radio during a couple of breaks, and even put Geddy's mug up on the jumbotron. For all those attending this evening, have a blast and make sure to share your photos/videos/reports.

Date/Time: Thursday, July 1st @ 7:30PM
