  1. Hey all! If anyone has an extra pair of tickets for Boston that they are not using, send me a PM! Thanks, Jake
  2. Hey all, it's been a long long while since I posted on here. I'm looking for three tickets to Boston or Montreal, either together or a single and a pair. Let me know if anyone needs to sell. Thanks!
  3. Ok, I honestly can't believe I'm the first one posting this. Just got the email 20 minutes ago. The dates for the spring leg are.... April 23 Austin, TX @ Frank Erwin Center April 26 Ft. Lauderdale, FL @ BB&T Center April 28 Orlando, FL @ Amway Center May 1 Nashville, TN @ Bridgestone Arena May 3 Raleigh, NC @ PNC Arena May 5 Virginia Beach, VA @ Farm Bureau Live At Virginia Beach May 7 Baltimore, MD @ 1st Mariner Arena May 9 Uncasville, CT @ Mohegan Sun May 11 Atlantic City @ Etess Arena Pre sale starts today at noon! Also says that more dates will be added later: "Stay tuned for additional tour announcements for the summer dates that will resume when the band returns from their European leg in June. These will include but not be limited to Hershey, Wantagh, Saratoga, Chicago, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, Boston, Calgary, Vancouver, Portland, Salt Lake City, Denver, Kansas City, and will finally see RUSH return to Grand Rapids and Halifax for the first time in decades!"
  4. phil lesh and bob dylan and willie nelson and so on might do more dates a year than rush, but which show do you think is more physically and mentally demanding? a rush concert or a george jones concert? How about YES, is that music not demanding, it's Rush with less Rock. Oh and how about there upcoming 2013 tour, 3 albums in there entirty. I'm seeing that! But I only get 2 albums because I'm seeing them in Foxwoods... oh well.... but still, Close To The Edge live ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh :dweez: :dweez: :dweez: :haz: :haz:
  5. QUOTE (AddictedRushian @ Oct 12 2012, 05:06 PM) So Sunday will be my first concert ever! I have never been so pumped for anything in my whole life! Still being in high school, this may possibly be one of few really good concerts I'll ever go to as we all know there is no band like Rush, and assuming Rush tours maybe 1 or 2 more times. Everyones talking about seeing them for the 20th time, 50th time, or even 100th time, and let me tell you guys, you are very lucky to have been there since the beginning or even a little later. Cherish it and look back on it. Some of us may never get to see them on tour again. Us teens have it really bad but I'm still really grateful to see them on Sunday. I just hope those who have seen them numerous times are grateful and thankful for being born in a time where seeing them since earlier albums was possible. Rock on!! Oh common! Look at the cup half full! I'm a 90's kid to! There are so many great bands still here and even fresh and new. Radiohead, the flaming lips, Wilco, Pearl jam just to name a few! These bands all still put on great concerts. And ok, ok I'll be the first to admit it... I've seen just 2 rush concerts, and neither of them were even close to the best concert I've seen. It's so... Far away... It's like they just play each city the same way! I saw Eddie vedder in a theater about a year back and it was so intimate. It was like there was no difference between him and they crowd. You could feel the raw emotions coming from him. Now that was just him and a ukulele and a guitar sometimes, but it was easily the best concert ive ever been to! You have to just listen. Rush is great but there's so many other bands to check out. Now to quote a Wilco song; You have to open up your mind!

Jsteinrush was quite right! Oh common it's not his fault if someone actually pays that! The only bad part would be if he refused to take any less!

Youre a Dumbass who listens to classic rock stations who only want to hear Freewill, Limelight, Red Barchetta. That's right! Its insight like this that is in short supply around here. Absolute GOLD. Solid gold...in fact, that post deserves a place in Ft. Knox. You guys are being sarcastic right?

Youre a Dumbass who listens to classic rock stations who only want to hear Freewill, Limelight, Red Barchetta. Thats just not true! People can't seem to wrap their heads around the fact that just because you don't like some Rush doesn't mean you don't like the band! Most of the music they're playing is coming from the 80s. That's like 4 or 5 albums. There were 7 albums released in the 70s. Notice the difference? If someone doesn't like the 80s popish songs Rush wrote, then they probably won't like the setlist! The CA stuff was great! I would pay to see just that stuff again! But just because you don't like the 80s stuff, and therefore kinda the whole first set, doesnt mean you dont like Rush. Now I know you're probably just trying to provoke people so I'lll stop now.

I've never noticed that! I listened to that album today! oh it's so good...
  10. Hey I just realized that now after the set's been "reveiled" I'm really interested in knowing what they played during their supposedly 4 and a half hours of music rehearsals, and decided not to put in the final setlist. Is anyone "In the Know" enough (Likeclockwork mabye) to know that and willing to share?
  11. So me and my brother were siting tenth row right in front of geddy last night, and there were some points in the show where we really thought he was lip-synching. First, in that part in either clockwork angels or anarchist (i dont remember which specifically) where his voice sounds like he's singing through a radio, in the concert it sounded so exactly like the studio version, and also the volume went down when that started, and back up when the regular part kicked in. Also, that really high note in headlong flight was iffy. During one of the times he did it, he moved away from the mike, and the volume stayed exactly the same. Anyone else notice this?
  12. 3 AND A HALF HOURS SET?!?!?! sounds awesome!
  13. QUOTE (noisorroCmrotS @ Aug 29 2012, 11:23 AM) I just learned from a reliable source that there will be exactly 6 songs on the tour with strings. I can't reveal anything other than that. Hey, I just have one small question... ARE THEY GOING TO PLAY HEMISPHERES (PRELUDE)?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! That'll be all...
  14. Is anyone planning on audio recording it?
  15. Hey all, I was just wondering if anyone was planning on recording the Manchester show and posting it online... Looking forward to it!

Mission would sound really good with strings! mission with strings? wow they'd be spoiling us. that's a definite pee break. Oh god... Mission... one of my least favoraie rush songs...on one of my least favorite rush albums... god I hope they don't play that... and I'm looking forward to the strings to!

    F*** U, Usher!

    Ok, just putting this out there, pearl jam is great. The only reason vs. got higher then Counterparts is because it's easily ten times better (IMO)! Its not THEIR fault that they just so happened to put out a better album!
  18. I read that and thought I was 100% real, so I searched online for the video for like 20 minutes, and only after that did I come back and relize it was a load of complete bullshit!
  19. So I don't know every line that Geddy has ever said to the croud between songs, and I dont know every setlist by heart, but I think that signals' 30 anniversery is being blown way out of proportion. Rush toured in 2004 right? They didn't play all of the debut, did they, or even more then one full song from it? They also toured in 2007, A Farewell To King's anniversery, and I don't think they played one song from it! So on with 2008, and Hemispheres anniversery, I don't think Geddy even made a mention of it! Just because they toured all of moving pictures (their biggest album) last year on its anniversery, means 100% nothing about Signals this year! This tour is in support of Clockwork Angels, last tour was basically another tour for Moving Pictures. There's no reason they should feel inclined to play more signals then usual, even on its anniversery!
  20. Why isn't the cover added to the slideshow at the top yet???
  21. QUOTE (Yokkov @ Jun 9 2012, 09:05 PM) The riff in Clockwork Angels is just like the one from Cygnus X-1! Wait, nevermind! Now that I listen, it's not Cygnus but the end of 2112 that I'm hearing in that riff...
  22. The riff in Clockwork Angels is just like the one from Cygnus X-1!
  23. I don't know whether his voice is better or worse on either album, all I know is that on the new album, his voice fits perfectly with the music. I would never want any other singer to sin these tracks, or any other Geddy! It's just perfect.
