Neil Peart -- The Latest News

John from Cygnus-x1.net posted an excellent photo gallery from the last Rush show of 2013 in Kansas City. Looks like quite a party!

The photos were taken by Pat Tinney, Chubert, Robert Clayton, Lynne Clarkson Gore, Joe Pesch, Kelly D, Kevin Millette and others.

Go to Cygnus-x1.net or click the photo below to see the entire gallery.

Here's a great one of Neil:

Thanks to John for posting these, and all the photographers who shared the photos!

I attended the final show last night at the Gorge in Washington State. While I'll be writing up a full review, my short review was that the show was the best I saw on the "Time Machine" tour.

My brother Erik took a bunch of great pictures, which you can view here:

Rush filmed this concert for an upcoming DVD (directed by Banger Films, producers of Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage) in the city where it all began for them.

First, here are some photos by John Arrowsmith -- one from behind Neil, and one from the back of the hall. I'd say this show was sold out.

Next, I got some great photos from Pete Roche at www.theclevelandsound.com of Neil. (Notice that Neil is wearing in-ear monitors for this performance.)

Update - 4/18 - See the rest of the photos and the review here:

RUSH live at Quicken Loans Arena 4/15/11

Finally, before the show Rush fans gathered at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to protest Rush's exclusion there. Ed at Rushisband.com shared this great photo via the Canadian Music Scene.

Here's the first "Photo of the Night" for the Time Machine 2011 tour, taken by John Arrowsmith (Rush pyro tech and photographer). I'll be posting at least one from each show. Click the photo to go to the entire set from Sunrise, FL. You can also purchase these photos.

Looks like Neil's still wearing the headphones -- most likely to prevent the ear problems he experienced on the 2010 tour.

Two from Santiago. The first shows a woman with tears of happiness (probably one of the best images from the entire tour). The second shows that Rush added a graphic of the 33 miners rescued in Chile to the screen during "Stick it Out."
