We had to take this one with Brian&#8217;s crummy work phone.  Photo quality is crap.  Even my HTC Touch Pro 2 probably would&#8217;ve been better to have with us.  Oh, well.<\/p>\n<p>P.S. My favorite songs came on at 8:35 PM, 8:45 PM, 9:15 PM, 9:40 PM, 10:05 PM&#8230; Actually, everything that happened after 10:05 PM was fantastic.  That&#8217;s when they really got going.  The video backdrop, lighting and visuals were fantastic all night, but in the last hour they had pyros and fireworks.  It was crazy!  Neil Peart&#8217;s drum solo was Brian&#8217;s favorite part.  I liked it because it led into Alex Lifeson&#8217;s guitar solo, which led into &#8220;Closer to the Heart,&#8221; one of my all-time favorite Rush songs at about 10:20 PM.  They closed with &#8220;Working Man,&#8221; another Rush classic. What a great show!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You want to know what else happened on Friday?
