“Prog-rock icons Rush brought their R40 North American Tour 2015 to a near capacity crowd at Scottrade Center in St. Louis Thursday and the resulting show was twice what most other bands half their age would perform.”
Daniel Durchholz wrote a review of Rush’s show in St. Louis for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: “…Big is what Rush does best: big stage, big spectacle, big songs — lyrically complex, multi-part epics replete with Lee’s thundering bass, Alex Lifeson’s shredding guitar work and Peart’s drum solos (plural). And they still do it so well.”
The reviews keep coming. These are about Rush’s show in St. Paul at the Xcel Energy Center.
The Lincoln Journal Star’s Jeff Korbelik penned a review of the band’s show in Lincoln, NE on May 10. The Canadians—Lee, guitarist Alex Lifeson and percussionist Neil Peart — proved again Sunday night at Pinnacle Bank Arena why they are three of the greatest rock musicians to ever grace a stage.
