Hello there. I`m from the netherlands and went to the Oberhausen show. It was only a 90 minute drive from
our house so that wasn`t far. Nice show , only half the venue was filled with people!?
Here`s the rant of Alex:
I also went to the Frankfurt show last Friday. I was suprised that he almost did the same thing.
If I look at the other rants he did, then I guess he`s just not in the mood anymore.
He doesn`t tell stories, he`s just making weird sounds now at the European shows.
Anyway, still I think this is the best tour they ever did. Did you know they filmed the whole show in Frankfurt?
They took off almost all the cellphones and cameras at the security gates before entering the hall.
I hope you`ll place the RANT on your site. You have a really great Rush site. Visit it almost every day now.

REPORT FROM THE LAST SHOW
Concert was just ike the others, only Alex seemed to have more fun.
He had lots of fun playing , but there was no extra thing during this last show .
During the first half of the show, 2 women came on stage to get some shirts from the dryers ,
and put them back again in the dryers.
During La Villa ..... 2 other nice looking ladies came on stage and walked with a pirate banner
for a few minutes . I just don`t remember the rant from Alex anymore.
It wasn`t something special. Maybe someone else can tell you the rant .
Rotterdam show was just another good show from Rush .
I heard someone else who spoke to Howard Ungerleider, the road manager .
On the question why Rush didn`t do anything special on this final night of the tour,
he replied by saying:
"This show is so damn good , we simply don`t know what to do extra .
It`s allready an over 3 hour show , and everything has to run synchronised together.
If we would have done something special , then we would have to do it on all shows.
All shows were just good."

Check out how many concerts Martin has been to!!!!!! I think he might be deaf. CONCERT LIST
Oberhausen, Germany (9/17) - Lerxst mumbled a few things as if he had a bad cold or something, sounded a bit
like he was choking. So he didn`t do anything spectacular.
