Cringe if you must, Rod haters, but by embracing The Great American Songbook, the man who almost single-­handedly brought disco to its knees has revitalized his career, earned a 2003 Grammy nomination, and launched one of the hottest tours of 2004. Shows will feature hits from the Mod Rod oeuvre - "Maggie May," "Tonight's the Night," and perhaps even "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?"- along with his latest batch of martini-soaked love songs. Turns out all those critics who said Stewart was a sellout were right.

You'd think a dinosaur awakening from its Canadian tar pit would be a lumbering beast. But the Rush 30th anniversary tour - featuring the original power trio Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart - shot out of extinction as America's top-selling concert when tickets went on sale back in March. There are still seats to snag for the monster shows - at Canadian concerts last year, the band was as tight and driven as ever - that feature a set list drawn from all 17 albums.
