Got a few First Day Covers, pre-paid envelopes and stamp books, and bit on the framed print...noticed a few on eBay already going for $250-350.

BTW - I'm working on a little project and could really use a second VIP ticket if anyone who went to multiple shows, took a spouse/kid had an extra they could stand to part with for a good cause can you drop me a PM - much appreciated (will post pics once it's complete). Thanks!

Here are the lenticular (image changes as you rotate the surface) VIP ticket and pass pics: http://i50.tinypic.com/2vmip3o.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/24wx54z.jpg Honestly the lanyard is cheap - was sad it was not the woven .5" strap with clockwork angels screenprinted on it - they def tried to cut corners where they could on the package. I mean look how nice this one is in comparison: http://www.rushbackstage.com/rushbackstage...1-lanyard-.html

BTW what was it that broke in front of him last night? His monitor? I saw the roadie run off with something in his arms but couldn't make it out from Alex's side of the stage.

Agreed - pyro was very tame compared to the Manchester show where I wondered if the strings section was wearing Nomex

8. Tight leather pants on beautiful and incredibly talented women makes any Rush show better

I took a lot of pics last night but need to weed out the good ones - thought I would share this favorite of the pyro during Far Cry: http://i49.tinypic.com/n2lu03.jpg

Show was great - they seem to be having a few issues with the gear this tour as I have never seen so many roadies on stage while they were playing ( both in Boston and Manchester ) but regardless it was still fantastic. I seem to remember the "rain-effect" lighting during the Wreckers being more intense at the Manchester show but not sure if it was a glitch or the venue or that i was much closer to the stage this time. Strings were much more evident in the mix this show and were still rocking hard back there (props for sitting that close to the pyro). Geddy sounds spot on still and I have never seen Alex spend so much time playing to the audience - he had me laughing all night. The professor was flawless as usual. For my Boston friends I learned a new trick tonight - park at the museum of science about 3 blocks away ($8) and take the 10 min walk over to the Garden. No fighting the parking garage nightmare after and on 93 within minutes.

Should be 7:30 - but the Manchester show started a bit later....like 7:40 IIRC

Was a great show that first night - what type of camera were you using? I took my iPhone for the Manchester show and they came out poor but for the Boston show I am going to bring a point and shoot - fingers crossed!
