RUSH Planning 'A Few Changes' To Setlist

March 13, 2008

RUSH drummer Neil Peart has issued the following update:

"Early in March I will have to start preparing for another series of concerts, a 'continuation' of the 'Snakes & Arrows' tour (The Snakes & Arrows 'surge,' I call it).

"We had planned to end the tour in Europe last fall, but apparently more people want to see us, or see us again, so we were asked to do more shows. Some of them will be in places we haven't got to for a while, like New Orleans, Oklahoma City, and Winnipeg, and that is nice, plus we plan to make a few changes to the setlist and presentation to freshen it up a little. Although the world knows by now that I'm not crazy about touring, I sure don't discount the good fortune that we can still do it, personally and professionally — that we can play better than ever, and that people will come and see us. That's not something I have ever taken for granted. As I have said to friends who might be having their own work difficulties, 'at least if I have to work, I’m glad I can.' And not just any old job, of course — pretty much the best job there is — but nonetheless a hard one."
