The Pass

is very likely gonna be played every night and will be a tribute to Neil, as it fits the bill and was one of his favourite lyrics he's ever written.

Xanadu is pretty much confirmed, as Rik Emett revealed in an interview that both him and Alex are taking their Gibson EDS's on tour this year with their respective bands.

Those songs I've mentioned are on a playlist on Anika's personal spotify, where she has some Jeff Beck playlists as well. Also, By-Tor was added mid februrary, around the time in which Ged and Al told they just added another song to the setlist.

I don't know if that's a controversial opinion or not, but Rush sucks without Neil Peart (in any case) and it's not REAL Rush to me. Neil Peart made Rush to be real Rush.
They sucked in 1974 and they suck today with Anika.

I agree in terms of the music - the first Rush album was mostly terrible save for the cult classic that is Working Man. I have zero interest in new Rush music because the missing piece that made Rush great songwriters was always Neil.

Anika is a great drummer, I'm sure she'll play the songs we love very well. I'm not interested in paying $500+ to see them play without Neil, though.
