Well, it’s been a long wait between the first announcement over a year ago and the Big Event itself. But the UK leg of Rush’s Clockwork Angels Tour is almost here at long last.
It’s been a nerve-wracking year worrying if my ticket agent would get me decent tickets, but he’s come up trumps once more (including the O2 one this time). I also came within a gnat’s whisker of front row seats and a meet’n’greet, but that’s another story.
I’ll be at all five of the shows once again – in London, Birmingham,Sheffield, Manchester, and Glasgow – and I can’t wait. But it’s less than a week to go now. And I’ve got a shiny new camera to try out, too.
I’ve got a rough idea of the set list, but apparently they’ve been changing it around for each of the different stages of the tour. So it’s a case of wait and see, really (which I have to say that I prefer).
A DVD of the tour is already planned, but a release date isn’t yet known (earlier reports of 21 May have proved to be incorrect).
