I did see R30 and the Time Machine Tour, but when R40 happened, I'd moved to Idaho from Los Angeles, and so the closest to me I think would have been Salt Lake City, and I just didn't make it. I will kick myself for ever over that decision.

I can understand that, I kicked myself for missing Time Machine. But at least you got to see them, you'll always have those memories

i kinda regret not going given the setlist but its all good now for me. i had a good run, though perm waves tour at 13,ESL tour and 2nd row for signals at 16ish
i took my son to the time machine tour which was my last show. 17 tours total. really at the end, i felt the cost of even mediocre tickets wasnt worth it.....
you did catch two great tours and thats more than i can say about about a bunch of my favorite bands

Don't feel bad about it. Real life got in the way. You had to move and that can make things like seeing a concert a bit harder to do depending on where you live. I'm guessing not too many bands stop by Idaho at all.

I would have made the trip to Tampa to see them but once word got out that this tour was it, tickets disappeared into the hands of the f--king scalpers, and prices got too out of hand. Oh well.

I think a lot of us have shows that we wanted to go to, and couldn't. In my case, I wanted to go to LA on R40, could have gone, and just didn't. I also could have gone out to Red Rocks on tours past to see the boys. Didn't do that either.
It happens. Don't sweat over it. IMO, be thankful for what you did get to do.

I had to turn down a chance to add to my Rush show count due to a serious family emergency. Hey I'm still a bit sad about it but we have decades worth of music to enjoy from The Holy Trinity.

Really good point. I saw them 7 times and it could have been a possible 11-12 but that would have been more money and opportunities would be taken away from seeing other acts. 7 times is pretty good considering I'm a younger fan that saw them all those times over a 10 year span or so.
Every moment with the band was a special one. Let's be content with what we have vs what we could have had.

I was angry for a very long time on the guys for not doing R40 in europe, I did not even listen to their music for a long time after they ended the tour (almost a year). Because I saw the amazing set list, and I was so happy that I would get to see some of those epics songs. And I was sure that they would come to europe, so I just waited for them to add more dates on their website. And when I understood that they would not come to europe, I could not travel to USA, because I had just got a new job, and I did not either had any money to buy both the concert ticket, airplane and hotel. I was angry at my self that I did not see R30 Tour (first time Rush played in sweden since 1978) because I was not a fan then, became a fan 2011 when I saw Rush live first time. But I did get to see them during Time Machine Tour and Clockwork Angels Tour (twice).
