Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson & Neil Peart packed the grandstand and the “Great Minnesota Get Together.” From the super fans with their StarMan tattoos prominently displayed on their forearms to young teens at their first concert, everyone was pumped to see the aging rockers. The steam-punk 
stage design kept true to the tradition that Rush is one of the most bizarre bands in history and their pre-taped skits and on-stage antics gave every indication that they have no intention of changing that perception. Geddy Lee’s stage presence and awkward falsetto, highlight the fact that he’s a child at heart. Lee wailed and hopped around stage for all 3 hours, like a true rock legend. Lifeson, who celebrated his 57th Birthday at the show, was a consummate professional and almost never cracked a smile except for when his band mates had the gift of a foot long corn dog delivered to the stage.
Neil Peart is otherworldly. I mean that I literally saw him grow 6 extra arms and casually spend 10 minutes slamming out some outrageous beats on his ~4,000 head, 360 degree, revolving drum kit.
The evening ended with a fireworks display which was far less awe inspiring then the concert, but it was a nice way to cool down a very excited crowd.
