Pags Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Sorry little dude. So far, it looks like the consensus says to lose the Avatar. It is a heartless universe, after all. I'm just psyched you have the entire collection already, and have seen the live act. WTG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they'd opened with 2112 until the Permanent Waves tour in 1980, at least as a headlining act, and I'm not sure they will still supporting other bands by that time!

But better then EVER.LONG LIVE . Man, it's nice to associate with other old-school fans who still appreciate the blood & sweat these guys still put into their tours and music. I get so pissed off when I hear "fans" say crap like "(grunt) They sucked after '2112'" or "(belch) 'Roll the Bones' is gay". Long live Rush indeed! ...back to the topic at hand...my first Rush show was June 1981 at Madison Square Garden in NYC on the Moving Pictures tour. I'd been a fan since hearing Xanadu in '79 and turned into a complete fanatic the next year when Permanent Waves came out. The MSG show happened when I was in my last week of 8th grade and I was so excited I cried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who missed that tour missed "Countdown." Holy crap, I was at that show too! I only remember bits & pieces though...it was my second Rush concert and I imbibed in the parking lot with a little too much youthful enthusiasm. Almost 10 years later, when Primus opened for Rush in March '92 (also at Nassau Coliseum), Les Claypool introduced their cover of "YYZ" with a tale of drinking & puking before his first Rush concert. That story brought back memories... 12/8/82: I believe Rory Gallagher opened...I remember "Countdown" because of the second verse where Geddy simultaneously sang, played an open E on bass with his right hand, a low E note on the keyboard with his left hand and Taurus pedals with his foot. I remember being disappointed that they didn't play "Jacob's Ladder"...almost getting my ass kicked when I accidentally kicked a guy while jumping over the barrier from the first level to the floor...I think that's the only time I ever saw them perform "Chemistry"...and I'll never forget some dude driving around the parking lot with a "2112" car. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

launchpad67a Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 I should chime in on this thread. First consert was Kiss/1976. Next concert was Rush 1976/Hemispheres, what a show! I was 9 yrs old, my father took me to these shows. I'll never forget all my first concerts...They made me a musician! To date, I have been to over 500 concerts!
