Rush Concert in Tampa's Ford Amphitheater Reviewed

[Audioholics]

Rush on their 30th Anniversary tour made a stop in Tampa in the new Ford Amphitheater Friday, July 30th. This is the first time in Florida that they have played in an outdoor arena. Having been a Rush fan for 27 of their 30 years and having gone to their concerts for 26 years, Ken Stein offers a great perspective on the latest performance including the songs, styles and performances of Geddy, Alexa and Neil.

I am also a huge Rush fan, although I have never seen them live in concert. However, I did pick up the Rush in Rio DVD that absolutely rocks. I too was and always have been quite impressed with Alex Lifeson's ability and have always felt he was very under rated as a guitarist. He, Geddy, and Neil are flawless players. Excellent article!

I managed to see them in Buffalo up close in the pavilion at the local ampitheater (Darien Lake). Then a week later in Toronto for the hometown show.
I hadn't been to Molson Ampitheatre before and it was almost too big. Way out on the lawn didn't compare to up close and personal. I probably could have skipped that 2nd show. Still good though.

I've only gone to shows since the Roll the Bones tour but I've managed to get in 7 of them! Always a pleasure.

Just wondering since there are some Rush fans here if anyone likes, listens to, or has even heard of Coheed and Cambria. They are pretty progressive rock like Rush, and the singer also sounds similar in that he sings really high. Their music is very good.

I hadn't heard of them before but I'll look them up.

Try finding either Time Consumer or In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth 3, those are really good examples or their talent and give good examples or their musical style.
