Itsounds like it was an awesome set.  In particular, I think it would be awesome to see them play all of Moving Pictures.  I considered going to their Time Machine tour in 2011 but I didn't - I wish I had.  I have the blu-ray of that tour, and sometimes I like watching bits of it (as I do with their other tours that I have on DVD/blu-ray).

I have seen Rush a few times, and the first for me was their Vapor Trails tour in 2002.  There was one point where they were jamming and Alex went into one of his silly stories (which I think he is known for): "I'd like to tell you about a time when I was attacked by a sandwich.."  In their concert videos, I think they tend to leave out things like that, but I wish they'd leave them in.  He doesn't do that at every show though.
