That's from my handheld Flip camera...

I wasn't recording footage for a DVD - I just caught the encore. (But the rest of the show was recorded by at least two cams...) I was too busy taking photos.

Wow Chris!!!

Amazing photos!

Even more amazing video of the encore! Felt like I was right there at the front with you.

My wife's favourite band is Rush (haven't converted her to making the Hip number one yet) so when I had her read the set list yesterday morning she literally screamed (and woke up my daughter) when she saw Alex had played with the boys for the encore. She was pissed that we missed that one! We both just sat down and watched your great video of that encore - really wish we had been there!

Man I love this band...looking at the tour schedule now and planning a road trip to Rochester, N.Y. or Shelburne, Vermont - two months til those shows seems like an eternity though! I love it when the boys are touring and you have lots of opportunities to see them play

Thanks again Chris (and others) for posting your pics and vids.

By the way Chris, what type of camera was that? The sound and video are amazing!!!

Plus a hefty duty charge, and likely the recordable media tax... unless you get a seller to fake the paper work.

So I dont know if it was me being so hyped up because I hadnt seen them since the World Container shows in Barrie but this was the best show i had seen.His voice was clear and they seemed too have really matured as performers.I loved the accoustic set they did-- and got too hear songs performed for the first time live. i am sure the venue played into how great the show was but for me this really was a memorable experience.

Alex Lifeson seems to perform these songs rather lazily and with no character.

Proove me wrong.

It was a Hip show not a Rush show, only a asshole would try to show off at another bands finale of 6 shows.
All I see is class.

I did see him punch a cop in the stairwell on the way out, though.
