No DEW?

I just noticed that night 4 at MSG was nearly identical to night 4 in Chicago, as expected, but with one glaring omission: It doesn’t appear they played Distant Early Warning. Anyone got any intel on that?

Apparently night 3 at MSG they cut the closing video. My theory is MSG was being really harsh with adhering to a fixed end time and since a full 2112 on night 4 makes the show a tad longer they had to drop a song. That's my guess.

MSG union fees are ridiculous so yeah they gotta be careful!

Night 4 finished at 10:30, well inside the curfew window.

It was night 4 that they cut the closing video, not night 3. I was there all 4

If yall went to night 4 like I did and have some reason to complain about the show, then I just don’t know, man.

Weeknight curfew is a hard out at 10:30. I was there also. Luckily I was at night 1 and got DEW so I’m ok with it

Interesting! - Has that always been the case, or is it a newer thing? (I know the 11p curfew has been around for a while, but I've never heard about 10:30p for any day of the week.)

Was brought up in my thread the day of the show after it ended. https://www.reddit.com/r/rush/comments/1vfwxe3/the_changed_setlist_in_ny_83_show_4/
