Lit up with anticipation
We arrive at the launching site
The sky is still dark, nearing dawn
On the Florida coastline
Circling choppers slash the night
With roving searchlight beams
This magic day when super-science
Mingles with the bright stuff of dreams
Floodlit in the hazy distance
The star of this unearthly show
Venting vapours, like the breath
Of a sleeping white dragon
Crackling speakers, voices tense
Resume the final count
All systems check, T minus nine
As the sun and the drama start to mount
The air is charged - a humid, motionless mass
The crowds and the cameras,
The cars full of spectators pass
Excitement so thick - you could cut it with a knife
Technology - high, on the leading edge of life
The earth beneath us starts to tremble
With the spreading of a low black cloud
A thunderous roar shakes the air
Like the whole world exploding
Scorching blast of golden fire
As it slowly leaves the ground
Tears away with a mighty force
The air is shattered by the awesome sound
Like a pillar of cloud, the smoke lingers
High in the air
In fascination - with the eyes of the world
We stare...

I don't think there'd be much of a Rush fanbase down there, don't you think?

If they played La Villa Strangiato, the world who combust due to the sheer amazement. By far the most instrumental-oriented and difficult song ever created.

Hell yea man :D That would be sweet. Haha they'd probably play Tom Sawyer, Limelight, and YYZ. I'd prefer Subdivisions, Losing It and Countdown though :D
