Last time I saw Rush I got real dehydrated and was spacing out a bit during the second set so I guess that's a less than ideal experience. Last October when I saw Judas Priest was a bit rough. I got there early to get my spot in the front of the general admission spot. I waited for about 4 hours outside the venue and made it up front. Unfortunately The Armory in Rochester is a giant hot box and the opening band, Steel Panther didn't get on until about 3 hours after I made it in. They started almost 2 hours after their scheduled start time. At that time I was dying of heat, sweating uncontrollably and was dehydrated once again (drank plenty of water early, didn't help much). Then about 15 minutes before the band started, a migraine was triggered by a flashing light. So I stood there another 2 hours through Steel Panther's set and intermission before Priest hit the stage. I had recovered a bit when they came on so I was good to go again. I enjoyed the hell out of their show until the last 30 minutes where some drunk guy kept shoving people to get up front. He jammed his elbow into my back trying to force me out from the crowd barrier but after making it this far, I wasn't going to let him win. He finally gave up and I got to enjoy the encore.
