The First Rush Reunion Concert in Los Angeles

from The UCR Podcast

We've got a TON of coverage including lots of photos and videos of the first Rush reunion concert which happened last night (June 7) in Los Angeles at the Kia Forum. For today's podcast episode, Matt welcomes the person who was not only at the L.A. concert, but he's also responsible for hooking Matt up with tickets to the very first Rush concert he ever saw back in the '90s. Matt Surrena, a longtime radio and music industry veteran, joins us to share his reactions to the L.A. reunion performance. We cover a lot of ground, including how the gig lived up to the expectations he had going in, Geddy's voice, the expanded Rush lineup, Drummer Anika Nilles and what she brought to the performance, their surprising opening song choice, what he wants to hear them play at other shows on the tour and plenty of other topics. Thanks to Matt for taking the time to revisit his experience with us. For complete coverage of the Rush reunion, check out the many links here: https://ultimateclassicrock.com/tags/rush/
