At the Clockwork Angels tour, there was only one group around us that wasn't a male/female couple. The pair behind us was coed friends.
Also, CA is likely a top 5 Rush album IMHO. And I love the early stuff. I can't stand albums after Signals and before Presto.
I guess their fans are getting older like them. Now they probably draw married couples with their one night out per month away from the kids. The guy gets his Rush show, and in return has to reciprocate when the wife wants to see Celine Dion or some shit.
Agree about the post-Signals era. A few good songs here and there, but nothing solid top to bottom like the output from FBN through Signals.
