DirkPrattLerxst Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 A great show, I had the chance to sit next to Xanadu, we saw Red Barchetta, and it was awesome.Also the only concert I have ever been to walking toward the arena, and the air is filled with the smell of cheap booze and Coppertone.The MGM pool closed at 6, and the masses had to walk opposite direction Rush fans were headed.Alex played awesome, only 1 mistake.....show keeps getting better and better...I'm sure Geddy makes mistakes too, but we usually can't hear them.

Xanadu Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 ACT was me! Sorry about the inconsistency and the blurriness. I had a hard time keeping the camera focused, and I still wanted to be able to enjoy the show myself. Really had a fun time, and I hope the feed was helpful and enjoyable to ya'll! At least you probably had a decent view. I have to read up on tips or something and figure out why I couldn't zoom. The view made it look like I was a lot further away than I actually was and it was really pissing me off. That said, it was a great show (got my Red Barchetta!) and happy I made the trip. Back home today. :) I saw your feed but I couldn't get any video, just the audio. That's never happened. That's weird for sure. Glad you guys didn't have only me to rely on or God help you all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushman14 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) Finally back from the Rush extravaganza in Vegas. Great show! The band was very much on their game but what struck me most was how strong Geddy's vocals were. I read somewhere he was on some diet to help help him with his voice and it showed. He had no problems belting out Xanadu. Was also very cool to meet some TFR's. Here a photo with Godeater (left) and Citizen Of The World (Center). Great guys! I'm not as wasted as I look :) http://i493.photobucket.com/albums/rr300/Fatorgan/TRF_zpsvhv8fiws.jpg Also, here's some good footage I shot of the end of Spirit Of Radio. I panned the crowd so you'll get the idea of how packed the room was. http://youtu.be/GWTaot9oLCg Edited July 27, 2015 by Rushman14 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks :) Geddy rarely makes bass related mistakes as far as notes, but once in a while he'll hit a note on the wrong beat or something. He's more likely to make keyboard mistakes. Speaking of mistakes though, did anyone catch his stumble as he was getting up on the riser at the San Jose show?

I did something similar years ago and whanged the headstock of my bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I'm listening to Xanadu from the Tulsa show right now. Somehow I think that out of all of the shows, I would have loved to be at Tulsa. No one in the audience knew what was coming next. I would have gone ballistics as that second half of the show unfolded song by song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
