The 13-track collection, produced by Rush with engineer Paul Northfield (Marilyn Manson, Hole), is set for release on May 14, 2002. VAPOR TRAILS sees the legendary power trio - Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart - redefining their intensely individualistic music, blending their famously complex dynamics with driving melodic hooks and a passionate, personal lyrical approach. Tracks like the kinetic "How It Is," the emotive "Sweet Miracle," and the propulsive album-opening "One Little Victory" are angular, atmospheric and altogether extraordinary. With the visionary new VAPOR TRAILS, Rush has taken a bold step forward, making it clear that one of rock 'n' roll's all-time great bands are more than just back, they're better than ever. The album will be heralded by the single, "One Little Victory," slated to ship to rock radio outlets nationwide on March 29. The band is currently finalizing plans for a major North American tour. Tentatively set to kick off in late June, the trek will mark Rush's first live performances since July 1997. The tour's first leg will be announced shortly. VAPOR TRAILS is Rush's 17th studio recording, and their first all-new collection in over 5 years. The Canadian trio's 22 albums have virtually all been certified CRIA platinum-or-better, with cumulative worldwide sales of over 35 million. The band were inducted into the Juno Awards Hall of Fame in 1994, received the esteemed Order of Canada in 1997 and were given their own star on the Canadian Walk of Fame in 1999.

Some people happen to believe that drums are as much a musical instrument as it is a percussive one, and that harmony theory applies to percussion in many ways that it applies to a guitar or a keyboard, or any other melodic instrument. Also, there happen to be some people out there who like making music interesting by making it intricate, and doing so with drums is not wrong, just as it isn't on any other instrument. And sometimes yes, this involves overplaying... why is that a bad thing? If you're a minimalist in your approach to music, it's a shame that you can't appreciate someone who overplays, particularly when he can do it well. The reverse is true: anything that's minimalistic in conception can very well be appreciated by someone who overplays (or just simply loves overplaying). That's all I was saying. - Ilia. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I've included the set list for you as I remember it (probably not in the right order). The show was VERY LOUD as was previously stated on here. People were talking about it after the show. When DT first started playing, the music was so loud and distorted that it was difficult to understand, but then seemed to get better. The band appeared very relaxed and seemed to really be enjoying themselves. They were being comical with one another and the audience. Mike was even humping the gong in the back of his drum set! Enough said. I HOPE THAT ALL OF YOU WHO WENT TO THE CHICAGO SHOWS START POSTING SOON!!! WHAT WAS THE SURPRISE??? Here's the set list-- NOT EXACTLY IN THIS ORDER!!
