While I would rather have been at the Toronto shows in person (as I was back in 2007), Twitter lets me follow along from Seattle.
Here's what I retweeted in more or less chronological order:
October 14: Toronto 1
October 15: Interlude
October 16: Toronto 2

Drummer's Database is holding a contest where you can win a package of signed items by Neil Peart -- including the drum head from the "Time Machine" kit!
Info from website:
This month we have teamed up with the awesome folks over at Hudson Music to celebrate the launch of "Neil Peart: Taking Center Stage - a Lifetime of Live Performance", the latest book by esteemed drummer and writer Joe Bergamini. View the full press release.
Neil Peart not only wrote the foreword for the book, but also supervised the project and provided additional factual editing. This book is easily the most complete retrospective on Neil's long career available in print today.

From everything I've read and the photos I've seen, the first Toronto show looked like a magical show. I think this John Arrowsmith photo captures it quite well.
All this reminded me of when I saw Rush in Toronto in 2007 on the "Snakes & Arrows" tour. I've seen Rush in a few cities around the U.S. and Canada, and those shows in Toronto were definitely some of the best. Here's my blog from that tour if you're interested in reading more.
