Bigger, better, funnier and more bombastic. Usually as time passes, artists find it hard to maintain the level of performances that defined their legacy, let alone surpass them. Not so with Rush. Somehow, Rush defies the odds and gets better with each passing year and tour. This past week at the United Center proved that. Before a packed house of Loyal Loopers, Rush upped the ante again and delivered a show that whipped the crowd  into a delirious frenzy. "Farewell To Kings"? Long live the kings!
