North American Dates!!!

Recommended Posts

does anyone know if they're coming to Vegas? I got front row in November, and I was the only one on the front row that knew all the words and every beat and fill. As much as it doesn't sound right, Vegas isn't a fun crowd. So I have no idea if they're coming back around...

 

My wife and I have seen them in Vegas 3 times. My impression was the same as yours. The crowd at the front were a bunch of comped gamblers and VIPs who didn't seem to be Rush fans (or at least, were no more than casual fans).

 

Vegas is a city that repopulates itself every few days. A completely different dynamic than other cities.

 

Having said that, if the go to Vegas this tour, we'll probably be there...

 

:LOL:

 

right?? you are so spot on! ugh.. haha that makes me so disappointed. If they did come back to Vegas, I just don't know if it'll be worth going again because one thing I hate is being squished between drunk guys that record the whole show on their tiny flip phones that they wave in your face...

 

but, I mean, its Rush! of course I'd want to go! I just... dont.... even know.. lol

Am I the only person who met lots of Rush fans at a Vegas show and had a great time? I remember seeing Rush at the Thomas and Mack Center back in '96 and there were both pre and post-show parties at Moose Mcguillicuddies, a nearby bar that was packed with Rush fans. I wonder if the lame crowds coincided with the move to the MGM.

No Vegas. :( Almost no repeat cities on this leg from the fall leg.

Any Albuquerque date by chance?

How about an Ottawa date?? They didn't hit it on the first leg and it's the only other major Canadian city in the province that ush are from. They came here on the Snakes & Arrows Tour, as well as in 2010 on the Time Machine Tour.

 

If there is a date, I'm hoping it's in August. If it's in July, that means they will more than likely play sometime during Bluesfest, which goes for 2 weeks like they did on the TMT in 2010. I want them to play at Scotiabank Place instead. maybe if it was a proper outdoor venue, then cool. But it's just a field. Not my ideal show.

 

However...if there's no Ottawa date, then I will go to the Hamilton show(which I will do anyways), and Quebec City(if there's a date) and Halifax. I saw this tour in Toronto and Montreal in October and I NEEEEEEEEEEEED to see it at least 2 more times. Preferably 3 or 4.

 

I'm even contemplating going to seeing a show in the States. It has to be done at some point. I have 5 weeks vacation this year, so why not try.

 

Now release the damn dates already!! And don't but the pre sales on the same day that the dates get announced!! It will give me no time to ask friends if they want a ticket or not. By the time I get home from work, and figure that all out, the entire floor will be sold out. Not cool!!

We did have a meet-up and had a great time. It's just that the crowd energy seemed different. That's my only comment. The show was epic, as was the drinking and carousing beforehand.

Hey Superconductor - great sig. I have a limited Fruity Oaty Bar print and the Visit Tranquil Miranda poster on the walls of my Command Center at home. Browncoats for Life!!

 

On topic. I traveled from NoVA to see the Vegas show and had a great time. I was Lower level, fifth row - about center ice on Ged's side (this was only my second show, but after starting to watch all the DVD's I have learned that its Ged - hehe). All around us were fans. Next to us was a father and his 20 something son from Calgary and in front of us - a family with two kids that were under ten. I saw a lot of families at Jiffy Lube in Sept as well. I have tickets to three more shows, including Helsinki in June!!

 

Anyway. Lots of great info here. Thanks for making this New Guy feel welcome.

Excellent. Superconductor is my level. My username is Unattractive Truth.

 

I have a Fruity Oaty Bar T-Shirt I wear regularly. I also have a Serenity movie poster in my office.

 

Browncoats Forever!!

"These will include but not be limited to"

 

I'm sure the band will include some California dates as well as the seemingly obligatory Vegas date. It is one of the biggest money makers every tour, they have included it on multiple legs for years now.

 

No Vegas and No California. The press release pretty much listed every city remaining other than one or two.

Come on and announce Milwaukee already - I have money earmarked for 4 tickets,

four? Can I have one? :eh:

 

Ok, 5 :) You can pay me back. I have seen Rush with my wife or son at least once (a couple times twice) since the R30 tour.... now my daughter REALLY wants to go. She wanted to see them, but now that they have the orchestra, she really wants to see them - she plays the Viola.

Based on the logic on RIAB this morning. I really will be suprised if the second summer North America leg doesn't have Vegas and California as the 2-3 adds.

Well I like his logic of starting the tour off in Hershey! THAT would be fun for me!! (and not conflict with my conflict)

I got Mrs. Snowdog to see them during the Vapor Trails tour. She enjoyed the show, but has no interest to see them again. My daughter wants to see them now.

Yeah, my wife might go because of the orchestra, but she doesn't think it's worth the cost for her to *kinda* enjoy the show.

 

Once we get a confirmed date - we can figure it out, unless you are going to take your daughter to Chicago.

Please tell your daughter that guy from Canada thinks she is cool, smart and has good taste in music!

How'd you read my mind?

what about another atlanta?

 

Nope. The leg beginning late June is Northeast --> Midwest --> Canada --> ending in the Northeast. Then the final few dates after a break are NW Canada --> Northwest --> Midwest.

 

IF this turns out to be true then forget them (trying to be nice). I wasn't able to make the prior Atlanta show and highly unlikely I can go to the Nashville show. Oh well, I'll go the cheaper route and get the dvd or blu-ray.

How about another Indy or St. Louis show?

Odds are against either of those cities this year.

Any city that isn't Chicago, NYC or possibly somewhere in California most likely wont get a show if they had one in 2012.

 

Closest show to Indy will probably be Cincy and the closest to St. Louis will be KC.
