I figured demand might cause that number to go up!

Yeah, there is that risk but I suspect that Rush would attempt not to make
that so.  Speaking of, I saw them twice on the Roll the Bones tour.  The
first time, they were pretty tight and is was awesome.  The second time, a
few months later, the set was shorter for sure, and they also seemed off.

I guess the risk with a long tour is that the later shows could also be the
ones that fall off.  Trying to be "on" every night has to be tiring.

They did a song called "Kay Leigh" that is one of my all time favorites,
but other stuff of theirs I have listened to didn't strike me like that one
did.
