Lorraine Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) I'm interested in knowing who here has been to see Rush in the seventies and eighties. Please include date and place of concert. Thank you! :) P.S. I want to know who to envy and be in awe of. ;) ;) ;) Then I will proceed to beat myself up and make myself feel even worse than I already do for never having gone to see them back then. :whip: :poke: :boo hiss: :boo hiss: :boo hiss: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: Edited August 4, 2015 by Lorraine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 And while you are here, maybe you can tell me how they managed to always sound in concert as they did on an album when no other band could do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not forgiven them!!! Well now that it is written and it is 2015 perhaps I should. You see back then I was a senior in high school. When I knew that Rush was going to play on the 24th of May a bunch of my Rush buddies and I thought they were going to play "Lakeside Park." Of course they never did but wow worth the wait? HELL YES! I was amazed they played it in 2015!! So yes, I will forgive my parents today! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleMoon Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 My first was during the Hemispheres tour, Dayton Hara Arena, December 1st, 1978 After that was: 1979 - Hemispheres/Permanent Waves tour - same venue1980 - Permanent Waves - UD Arena 1981 - Moving Pictures tour - Hara Arena1983 - Signals tour - Cincinnati Riverfront Coliseum1984 - Grace Under Pressure tour - Columbus Ohio Center After that it was almost a decade before I saw the next tour for Roll The Bones. Some of that was due to not liking the way the music had changed and some of it was due to moving to another city and getting a different job. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
