According to RUSH fan-site Power Windows, he 2008 leg of the Snakes & Arrows tour kicked off last night (April 11th) in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and will run through July 22nd in Atlanta, Georgia. The Opening Night setlist is very similar to the 2007 setlist, with four changes: 1) 'Ghost Of A Chance' replaced 'Entre Nous'; 'Red Barchetta' replaced 'Secret Touch'; 'The Trees' replaced 'Circumstances'; and '2112 (Overture/The Temples Of Syrinx)' is added to the set following 'The Spirit Of Radio', and the alternating songs which had preceded it, 'Summertime Blues'/'Distant Early Warning', were dropped. All the videos are the same with the exception of an all new video titled What's That Smell which includes all the band members, Barbie Dolls, chickens, as well as the return of both Harry Satchel (aka Geddy Lee in Scotsman garb) and Jerry Stiller. This video replaces Alex Lifeson's Plane Of Dharma video.
