After weighing in all factors for attending the R40 show.....

Recommended Posts

After combing through all pertinent variables including BluesChica's R40 instagram photo link, youtube vids, and setlist for Tulsa, I have noted the following critical parameters of the show

 

Multiples of historically-significant and unique instrumentaria- Check

 

Historically-significant loudspeaker system- Check

 

Heterogeneous, nonwallofsound sonic quality- Check

 

Significant/critical representation of songs from classical period- Check

 

High-calibre visual effects representation- Check

 

Musicians in (relatively) top-form, performancewise in every aspect- Check

 

Fog- Check

 

Minimalization of posthiatal material- Semi-Semi-check

 

Critical, full experential period-specific show ambiance(setting)- Check

 

Effort taken in appeasing the traditionalist/purist original/core discriminating followers: Exceptional- Check

 

Logo-emblazoned t-shirt or hipster sneakerwear worn by lead singer: Absent- Check

 

 

R40 show-quality score(unattended): 4.75/5 stars

 

 

Based on the above factors I WILL be attending the May 30 R40 show!! (in close proximity to band nucleus :) It is now appropriate to state..FCK YES! I have been awaiting a show of this magnitude for decades. The Syrinx priests (yes, Rush) have finally acknowledged and embraced "ancient ways". Never thought I'd see them go full circle (not backwards!). I commend thee, Alex, Ged, and Neil on going the distance in making this historically-relevant tour idea a reality!

 

Thanks again for all who helped compile Tulsa info for me!

Best,

 

Kurt

If he wasn't wearing his hipster sneaks, what did he have on his feets?

 

Yeah he did have on his Chucks.

You are really excited, aren't you? You normally don't sound so enthusiastic. :)

Ok man, here's your card back. I appreciate you changing your tune on Clockwork Angels. I knew if you actually listened to it, you'd love it.

I realize Im considered an outlier among Rush fans, but if they can please me it will be a grand slam for them for this tour. They've really pulled it off this time around!
