This is one of the best ( of many! ) Rush concerts I have attended! I went to the show in Columbus, and the sound, lights, and the performance, were awesome!
Great selection of songs, and Moving Pictures, in its entirety! Some fans love there old stuff, some like the new, or fans like me, love all of it!
The video your talking about, is one of several little comedy skits, that the band "acts out". The fat guy ( portrayed as Ray Daniels, there tour manager since the beginning ) is Alex Lifeson ( guitarist, keyboards), the mail man is Neil Peart ( legendary drummer, everything percussion ), and the polish butcher is Geddy Lee ( vocalist, bass guitar, keyboards ). It's just a little twist of their music, and humor. Needless to say, they love having a good time, great laughs, and put on a great show.
There are so many cool elements about this show. From the steampunk drum kit, to the steampunk guitar stacks, and Alex's steampunk guitar pedal board! To a great stage show. It's what has made them one of the best touring bands in the world!
I'm sure it will be played on Vh-1 after a little while, but I want the blueray!
Oh, and as far as The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I would consider it an insult for their induction, at this time. Their album sales far out way, those that have been inducted. Not to mention, their joined at the hip with "Rolling Stone" magizine. That as done nothing but bad mouth them for years. About a year ago they decided they are now finally hip. Whatever!
