Yayyy Oh Yay Ohhh Sinner Rush Are Back Touring the UK

The anticipation and atmosphere at the forum tonight must be amazing. 11 years since their last gig and into the unknown with two new members. Looking forward to getting up early tomorrow morning and seeing the setlist. Here's my first 3 song predictions...
Finding My Way
Subdivisions
Limelight
 
Just reviewed the setlist and watched a bit of video, including all of the opening Xanadu and the important bits of Tom Sawyer.

Setlist is fantastic.

Anika is superb.

Suspect Geddy’s vocals will divide opinions but they always have! Aging is almost always toughest on singers but I think he seems to be doing well if you take that into account. Looked like he was having a ball and was a bit like a proud father in respect of the other half of the rhythm section. Also, he played more keyboards than I was expecting based on the bits I looked at.

Don’t want to see much video before the first Manchester show, which I am now looking forward to more than ever.

I see they actually had Aimee Mann sing in person, guess that is just for LA.

Haven’t seen any footage. Did any of the songs sound different with an additional keyboard player? Was curious about that
 
That German lass knows her way around a drum kit, if she likes a pint or 10 I would marry Anika ;-)
Loved her on YYZ and Tom Sayer, I think she shut the f**king doubters up.
Sunday 14th March will be with my daughter Rachel and her hubby Nate and I'm staying in the new fancy stadium hotel thanks to someone of the " North stand extension thread " cheers blue.
 
Pleased with the set list; 5 of 7 on Moving Pictures (including Vital Signs!). I know they're going to move the set around as they go, and that the vocal work is hard for Geddy at higher registers, but I hope they bring The Trees back at some point. Having seen them twice in the early 80s I've no need to spend the dough on this tour but it's pretty amazing that they're back and still as beloved as ever -- if not more -- by the Trekkies that adore them.
 
I didn't expect them to open with Xanadu. I thought they might keep us waiting for that and then followed by Limelight. Wow two of my top half a dozen songs right there. I'm sure it will change by the time they get to Manchester. I have a sneaky feeling they will write one more album together to mark Anikas time with the band and if they can mix Geddy's vocals in the production maybe even a live album.

Yes, probably, but wow to see her out there singing on that song, it gave me goosebumps.

Very well done setlist with "Bravado", "Vital Signs", "Natural Science", "The Garden", and "By-Tor" being ones I'd really like to hear when I see them.

"Those guys are not spring chickens..." as the opening said.

I think the majority (will) think Geddy’s voice is better than it has been in year’s and that the vocal coach he has used made a positive difference.

I’ve seen four reviews so far (including. LA Times & Rolling Stone) and all have been positive.

They played 22 songs but are believed to have rehearsed 38 so I will be tracking set-lists with interest. I have tickets for 5 consecutive dates so hoping to see the full roster.
