I'm in my house, and it's mayhem and bedlam outside my window. Absolute chaos. All I hear out there is death and destruction and screaming and crying, and a loud booming voice from above saying over and over, "I F*CKING TOLD YOU!!!!!!" In other words, a typical Friday night in New York...see you tomorrow!

For those who missed it, the whole show has been posted to YouTube (minus the official studio tracks): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6pKXtF-ZXg

Well, I for one would have been pissed if the world had ended today. I have several days of PTO between now and the new year, and dammit, I want to enjoy them! So needless to say, I am relieved. As for the dumbasses who holed up in caves and such, we should just seal them in and improve the gene pool.

No you're not, you'll be stone dead in a moment...

This is priest_of_syrinx's spirit reporting from beyond the realm of earth. I can confirm that I left his body in the rapture at 5:11 AM CST.

15:23 UTC East Coast U.S.A. I have to poop. Hope this doesn't start the apocalypse.

So much for the apocalypse, huh? :) Now that we've gotten past 21/12, I went ahead and scanned all of the 'new' artwork and the 40-page comic book from the Super Deluxe edition of 2112 in 5.1 You can check all the information about the album via the following links: Complete Album Information, Liner Notes, Tracks and Lyrics: http://cygnus-x1.net...ms-2112-5.1.php Album Artwork http://cygnus-x1.net...db-2112-5.1.php Comic Book http://cygnus-x1.net...ok-2112-5.1.php Enjoy-

Huge improvement on the original. Thank you for this. Just so we're clear, the original what? It's obvious. My apologies -- didn't realise at the time that it was priest_of_syrinx, who I know is a DT fan. You just never know these days. A number of people seem to love bashing DT.

TSOR, for me. Begin the day with a friendly voice... Wonderful words to open a show and it always makes me smile. :)

2014 would be awesome if they played some rare ones and some more hits

Not sure more touring in 2014 is a good thing unless there are plans to write and record after next summer's tour. I didn't hear the interview but it sounds like another record is not a big priority. I was hoping they would make it a priority with their career winding down. At this stage I look forward to records more than tours.

Can the Mayan monster at least come to my house to snatch up my live-in mother-in-law????

"Attention all Planets of the Solar Federation Attention all Planets of the Solar Federation Attention all Planets of theSolar Federation We have assumed control We have assumed control We have assumed control..." :haz:

Remember where we parked, next to Walt Whitman

I'm not quite dead. Actually, I'm getting better..... Had to call my mother today, as she wasn't 100% sure about the lyin' Mayans and their prediction. Had the rare opportunity to RUB IT IN.......hahahahahaaaaaaa!!

Confirmed that BMW has made special modifications to Mosbach's bike. There's now a sidecar for Neil's new drum instructor—Leophus "Hambone" Jones AKA—Father Time...Inventor of the "circular motion technique"...

I doubt Rush could ever write a better show opener than The Spirit of Radio.

Great Facebook page Necromancer. i just "liked" your page ! Merry Christmas to you and all the fantastic RUSHERS!

Concert hall ! (Spirit of the radio)

Happy Rush day TRF! All is well in San Antonio. Done working for a couple weeks, save a few basketball games. Gonna get these presents taken care of and spin 2112. (Side note: this post should be #3000, what's up professors!)

:cheers: Merry Christmas, all! :cheers: :rush:

All is well at 12:18 eastern US time. :) Snow is on the ground, though... that could be a bad omen! :o Happy Rush day! :cheers:

How can you not vote for The Spirit of Radio? :haz: :rush: :D

10:19 CST Chicago, IL USA All is well, but I did just have a dicey breakfast burrito, so that is subject to change. :)

The Spirit Of Radio. One of the greatest concert openers i've ever heard. I never had the opportunity to see them open with Bastille Day, Anthem, 2112, Big Money or F10. I either wasn't born yet or was just too young to see them.

OMG THIS JUST IN!

Probably thought he was doing a promotional ad for a hot new energy drink

Merry Christmas and a prosperous Happy New Year to you, the Mrs., and the kids! :cheers:

Thanks, Necromancer. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone! :)

05:50 ET. Only 22 minutes to go! Everything ends at 11:12 UTC (GMT) At least at get my morning coffee and get to read TRF. Not a bad way to go, I suppose. Eeeek....now it's 05:51 :)

Nearly 1:30 am Pacific and I'm still here. Though I heard a rumor about Daleks showing up in England.... http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd103/laserspray/internet%20stuff/smilies/emoticon-tv-012.gif

Fast forward to 1:41. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ht9s0IspAuM

My uncle travels the world as a yoga instructor, and I asked him to show me a technique recently, and it was both breath-focused and had a mantra. He said he had the authority to give me a personal mantra if I wanted as well... It's very interesting stuff that I'm just starting to look into.

Huge improvement on the original. Thank you for this. Just so we're clear, the original what?

I'd love to hear another Rush album with lots of synth. Remember that electronic music technology has come on leaps and bounds since the 80s with so many new styles of music since - e.g. house, trance, jungle, ambient, dubstep, etc. Just imagine the possibilities if Rush were to utilise that kind of technology now! I think it could be some of the most ground breaking stuff they've ever done. It's not as if the keyboards ever really got in way of Ged's bass playing - many Rush fans (myself being one of them) agree that his best bass riffs were written in the GUP-HYF synth period. For me it was when the band started to "strip down" try "going back to thier roots" after HYF, the quality of the songs began to suffer. I think they should have continued push the boundaries technology and genre-wise rather than back down like they did. It seems kind of ironic to me how Peart is still pushing things technology-wise when it comes to his solos but when it comes to the band as whole, they just don't seem to bother any more. Porcupine Tree and Muse are still doing it, so why not Rush?

Here is a mashup with the song with Wither by Dream Theater. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=cJbTyFzqZu0

:P

I like this song - so spank me..! :P
