Rush and Chocolate ... Perfect Together
Rush continued their Clockwork Angels tour on Saturday in the land of Chocolate - Hershey, Pennsylvania. Playing to a nearly capactiy crowd at the Giant Center, the band certainly did not disappoint as was evidenced by the roaring crowd throughout the night. The band, fresh off a ten-day break following the European leg of the tour, seemed jubilant throughout the night, particularly the usually stoic Neil Peart who was seen flashing smiles left and right as the evening progressed.
But Saturday night was special for another reason. Actually, two. First, it was a thrill meeting up with numerous other fans prior to the show, particularly those who were attending the RatCon 2013 Rush fan convention. Meeting up with Petie Lee, KellyD, Lance, Daria and so many other fans was great. And having another chance at meeting two of the Clockwork Angels String Ensemble performers ... in a word, magical.
But beyond all that, what really made Saturday night special - and even happen - was all thanks to my 10-year-old son, Michael. Not two days before the concert, Michael asked and pleaded for me to take him to the Rush concert. At that point, I wasn't even planning on going to Hershey due to some scheduling conflicts. But seeing as Michael's appreciation for Rush was building, how could I say no?
Besides, it would be his first concert - so it HAD to be a Rush concert. Between his open-mouth reaction when the band took the stage, to his asking me if he could have a drum-set at the break to his jumping up and down when Rush started playing YYZ ... yes, it was a great night.
And in between it all, I snapped off a few pictures - which you can see below.
Enjoy...
