Happy Birthday to a fellow Queen fan!

I was just thinking this morning that "Stranded In Dreamland" would be cool. So would "The Mess and the Magic".

One of my customers got "stuck" in DC on the way back from vacation, and got to see this. Soooo jealous.

Haven't been here in a while - think I clicked Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and today!

Welcome treeduck! Glad to hear Rush is still rockin' in 2017! Hey, if you manage to sneak a poll past 1-0-0-1, could you put me in it?

Happy Anni 3 (isn't that a great number?) Silas!

Honored that you shared him with us. Thinking of you and your family

We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions

I'll probably get my vinyl before my CD, which is coming from the UK in the fan pack, so the answer is, on my turntable!

I have all four remasters, but the only one I also have non-remastered is RTB. I don't think they sound THAT different, though the remaster is louder. Then again, I'm not an audiophile with a great system, and my hearing is crap, so don't go by me.

Love this song! One of Rush's most underrated. Always conjures up at least the feel of THX1138 for me, though not the exact plot.

April 8th of last year in Hershey, PA...seems like an eternity!

Blue trees, black Time Machine, and Fly By Night girly tees Beyond The Lighted Stage black tee 3/4 sleeve Time Machine second leg VIP shirt (Moving Pics tour repro) Rash long sleeved light blue with navy sleeves (bought on Zazzle) Not T-shirts, but Rush-related: Black Starman hoodie White hoodie with lyrics, old CA clock design, and Rush explosion that someone made for me Time Machine tour baseball jersey The baseball jersey is probably my nicest Rush shirt, but I love the BTLS shirt because it has the big "Rush" and the guys on it

Got one each for me and my boyfriend. I love my other Rush hoodies, and this one's different, being red and a pullover.

Not a Rush concert, but I took my then 72-year-old mom with me to the Time Machine movie because my boyfriend was out of town and Mom knew the way to the theater. She loved it, was fascinated with Neil's drum kit, and said, "Obviously they're all talented in their own right, but what makes them really special is how they play off each other". Now I know where I get it from If they ever play close to Syracuse again, I'm bringing her to a show. She'd appreciate the band and love people-watching all the fans!

I'm thinking of using this option for a show or two if I don't pull up anything decent in the presale.

My situation was slightly different when I saw Rush for the first time on the TM tour, because I'm middle-aged and grew up with them, even had a high school friend into them, but then lost track of them for 19 years. When they came back to town in 2010, I thought of them as a band from my childhood I'd missed seeing. Still, similar to a young fan just coming on board, some of the songs that blew me away the most when I heard them live were the newer ones like Caravan and Far Cry, or ones I'd never known like Marathon. So, will there be (young) people who come on board for the first time with CA? Sure. If people came on board during TM, there will probably be some who missed that tour, but manage to go to CA and get hooked. I think as long as Rush is around, there will be people attending for the first time, and that usually starts one down this road we're on! Those people won't be thinking about Rush's ages while they're performing, either - the guys have a youthful exuberance that makes you forget how many years they've been a band!

Can't decide whether Headlong Flight or Caravan is my favorite. BU2B is not far behind.

Voted #5 - hard to tell without hearing all of CA, but the average of the three singles is higher than the average of S&A for me so far.

QUOTE (Captain Avatar @ Apr 26 2012, 08:36 PM) But, in the interest of your "what if" scenario, if I heard HF somehow, I would probably LOVE it, simply because it beats the hell out of just about everything else I ever hear played today. This. I've listened to modern bands that Rush fans like and haven't cared for any of them. I certainly haven't liked much chart music since the mid-80's. I'm even getting sick of 80's music because we listen to it at work. I'm finding there's very little music that intrigues me anymore, probably because I've gotten so wrapped up in Rush that no one else compares. I realize that I have to be careful not to burn myself out on Rush too! If I heard Headlong Flight, I would definitely say, "wow, what's that?" It would be a little heavy for my taste, as Caravan and BU2B were, but I would love Geddy's voice, the intricacy of what they're doing, the melody in spite of the heaviness, and THE LYRICS! I would want more

I said yes, but the more I think about it, the more I think I wouldn't have the stamina (especially outdoors in the sun), and probably wouldn't know/care for a lot of the bands who would be chosen to play with Rush.

QUOTE (anticlockwise @ Apr 26 2012, 01:02 AM) I've never been to Canada before, though I live just across the river. I would love to be there, but the passport fee is a bit steep for me at this time. Anyone care to share past experiences? I might be convinced yet... If your state has enhanced driver's licences for entering Canada, and you're close to needing to renew your license anyway, that can be a little cheaper way to go.

I'm still not done buying, so I'm all nerved up
