pm1970 Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 I don't know if this is real weird but, it seemed odd to me and everyone near our seats. this guy at the Milwaukee show was eating what looked like either applesauce or some kind of pudding in one of those snack pack contaibers - too far to tell what it was but, we thought it was an odd thing at a show. it looked as if he packed a lunch-I don't know where he got ot I'm sure they won't let you bring it in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReflectedLight Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 QUOTE (launchpad67a @ Sep 28 2004, 08:40 AM) Not too uncommon, if your a musician/drummer. But in Phoenix this year, during the very first song, Neils main kick drum pedal broke. He played most of the tune with the 'aux pedal' on the left, while the drum tech changed out the broken one. I've had this happen before and it's a real drag, especially on the first song. Thank goodness for auxillary pedals. Mike I was 5th row and didn't even notice.

doublereeder Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 When I saw Snakes and Arrows, I swear to God during Tom Sawyer when Geddy sings, "The world is, the world is.." Everyone (except me) rotated their arms above their head in a strange circle thing. I saw the whole audience do it even the guy I went with did it. When I asked him about it he just gave me a: face. It wasn't like, waving or anything. It was almost like a dance.. Great thread, by the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dances with the Moon Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 QUOTE (PuppetKing2112 @ Jul 5 2008, 03:18 PM) At the Portland show last year there was an owl that was flying up in the rafters of the amphitheater at one point. Had they played anything off Fly by Night it would have been perfect. I was at that show last year and didn't even see the owl. I sat on the grass last year, all I noticed were bats.

skullchrist Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Every time I've seen them it's rained. I've only seen them four times since 2002 but still. I saw them twice in West Palm, once at Red Rocks and once at Nissan Pavilion and it's rained every damn time. We'll have to see if the trend continues when I see them on the 19th. It's a sign to me that they should play Camera Eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it didn't rain but my friend did cry, his mother recently died and he was overcome with emotion during the show, so in a strange metaphysical way that counts. Besides that it was hot as s**t out but the sunset was phenomenal at Nissan. If I can ever figure how to get pictures off my cell phone I'll post it sometime. That's why I feel sorry for people who sit in the arena they tend to miss things like that. AND HOW CAN YOU BEAT A $10 LAWN TICKET! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tupelobarchetta Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 While at the R30 tour opener in Antioch, Tenn., I ran into the assistant golf pro of a course that was hosting a benefit tournament I had organized. The tournament was the next day, and there we were about 230 miles away from home and the course enjoying Rush. I had no idea he was going to the concert. Heck, I didn't know he was a Rush fan. He rode with friends to the show; I came alone. Had I known he was going, I would've bummed a ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Promark747 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 At the 2011 show in Cincinnati, they actually played The Camera Eye during the 2nd half... Wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 This is more of a weird Rush coincidence. I went to a see a local Shakespeare production the night before the Atlanta show. The play was 'As You Like It', featuring the line we all know so well, "All the world's a stage. . ." (Yes, Bill Shakespeare wrote the original. Not NEP .)

PanaceaFish Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Nothing weird happened onstage at the PNC (and even if it did, I couldn't tell as I was on the Lawn) 2 weeks ago, but I did have to fend off the drunk, stoned retard I had went there with (thought he was a friend) from groping the hell outta me...Fortunately, we had gone with 2 other people, and one of them told the jerk to cool it...Several times!

indydog Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Man this is a good question! a geezer like me who have seen rush 14 times I would have to say the most unusual thing I've ever saw was, and I'm not sure of the year,mid 80's I think? was my step daughter who was about 12-13 years old and was totally into new kids on the block, when I took her and my wife to see a real concert! rush at alpine valley Wisconsin, to see the presto tour, anyways after the show in the parking lot she gave me a hug,and thanked me for a great time! now that was weird big time!
