i wasn't even a thought.

Your parents must have been younger than you are now! :LOL:

 

That is true in my case. Parents were still in elementary school during AFTK I believe.

:blink: ....

My mother was just born that year…

I was at all of the early tours. I kept the ticket stubs and next day concert reviews from most shows I attended. I should dig them out and post them here.

That would be cool. I still have the tour book from the Permanent Waves tour but I think that's the only thing I kept from back in the day. Not sure why that is all I kept but I have it in the attic somewhere....

My mom was born in '34. It makes me laugh to think of her at a Rush show. She's more a Patsy Cline kind of gal.

My dad was born in 34' and my mom in 38'..... :codger: :sigh:

Mine were born during World War 1. I'm ancient all around.

I think you have earned the "day off" tomorrow.... :)

Yeah, my dad . . . quite a bit older than my mom. He'd be 99 if he was alive today. I guess I'm lucky he still had some coal in the ol' furnace . . . can't imagine him at a Rush show, either. He probably thought Bobby Vinton was too loud.

My first Rush concert was AFTK with UFO opening 10/1/77. I spent $10 and was 8th row center at the Santa Monica Civic. It was my 4th concert after Jethro Tull, Yes and Led Zeppelin. It's vague but I still have memories of being blown away by Bastille Day, Xanadu and 2112. Needless to say it was pretty life changing for this then 15 year old.

 

Little did I know, these same 3 guys would still be my favorite band 37 years and 58 Rush shows later.

Neither. My first tour was p/g.

BTW San Antonio is beautiful country. I have spent much much time in the great state of Texas in my lifetime. Was just there (Lufkin) for 3 weeks last month.... :)

Agreed! But my first shows were in the Midwest. I grew up in St. Louis and used to see them in my hometown, Chicago, and KC, among a few others. In recent years I see them mainly in Texas, but am blessed to be able to travel to see them elsewhere from time-to-time. If they do tour in 2015 and they add some dates in Europe, I have promised myself I will be making a trip across the pond for a show somewhere over there. Where is not really a big deal.

 

PS If you come back this way, give me a holler. I always have some cold Shiner, a well used barbeque pit, and a fantastic view from the porch.

Great to hear. I can barely afford to go a few hours up the road to Charlotte to see them... :LOL: :cheers:

You are most fortunate to be able to go where you want when you want. :)
