11-04-2015 - La Villa Strangiato Rush tribute @ The Musician

20150411_220648_3

What a great night this was. Never been to this venue before and it is great. Never seen this band before and they were excellent!

I love Rush and this lot are about as close as it gets. They also mix it up a bit with some great medleys!

Totally acoustic, The PA was not getting the guitar so we stood in silence and he did it unplugged. Big thumbs up!
