QUOTE (mazyyz @ May 11 2012, 06:23 PM) Yes, if you ask nicely they probably will as they are always trolling this forum. Neil here! I'd love for us to come back to my hometown, in fact we're in the process of booking a venue in Hamilton for October 16th after our show in Toronto. Message me and I'll get you front row seats!

Thanks for bumping this, that was a nice read. John seemed like a wonderful person, I'm glad to hear he's certainly not forgotten in the Rush community.

QUOTE (ThinkingBig @ May 11 2012, 11:53 AM) QUOTE (losingit2k @ Apr 3 2012, 04:51 PM) I was thinking of the CA Tour and began to wonder about Jacobs Ladder being introduced by Will Ferrel as Ron Burgandy taking over the Weatherman position! I thought that would be really funny!
What do you think?
Here's what I think the intro film should be.
Fade in:
It's the last night of the Clockwork Angles 'Farewell American' tour and Neil is in the middle of his drum solo when his set catches on fire and he spontaneously combusts....
SMASH CUT TO:
He wakes up a young man, he fell asleep working in his dad's part shop -- the entire RUSH career was a long dream.
Then...
A corvette pulls up out front....
I think a Barchetta would be more fitting

I know you said trade, but how much would you want for the single front row Indy ticket if you can't find a trade? I'd be interested

QUOTE (CrossedSignals @ May 11 2012, 01:20 PM) QUOTE (lifeson90 @ May 11 2012, 07:36 AM) RTB's only problem with me is the general sound production light and tinny at times but overall a great well written rush classic album some fantastic tracks on there (if not all of em) my personal favs seem to be unpopular tunes with a lot of fans, Face Up Bet your Life Neurotica wheres my thing just a great great album I actually like RTB the album. It's light and breezy and has great energy. And songs like Face Up, Neurotica, and You Bet Your Life are definitely underrated. It's so different from other Rush albums.... I can't help but love it. Sure, it's Rush-lite, but taken on its own, it's a fun little album.
Not sure how this thread got on this tangent, but count me in the club of thinking RTB is an awesome album

QUOTE (Blue J @ May 6 2012, 07:33 AM) Three for me, I believe, on the Roll the Bones tour.
There are a couple of other (hippie) bands I've seen much more intensively. Like from July '96 to July '97, I saw the Black Crowes 17 times. (and 49 times in all, from 1992 to the present).
I will be making up some long-overdue time with Rush on the Clockwork Angels tour. I haven't seen a Rush show since Counterparts. I'll be in Columbus, maybe Detroit, and haven't decided on a few others.What part of Ohio are you from? I'll be at Detroit, Columbus, Indianapolis and Cleveland. Rush party??

QUOTE (CrossedSignals @ May 10 2012, 07:54 AM) Also, it's Distant Early Warninguh. As in 'warning' in the singular. One warning. I've seen many people refer to the song as "Distant Early Warnings", and it really peeves my pet. Somebody on this forum not too long ago called it Early Distance Warning
Oh, and-
Dude, get a life, you did this poll just to create another set list!

QUOTE (GangsterOnBoats @ May 10 2012, 07:43 AM) Yes, I enjoyed the r30 medley as well! If they did another one, it would probably be all of the eighties material, which would be great for hearing some Grace Under Pressure stuff. I'd MUCH rather they play a couple full songs from P/G or PoW than create a medley of them

QUOTE (savagegrace26 @ May 10 2012, 12:35 PM) I think it's been established before that "world" and "love" are the most used words in Rush lyrics.
Although I'm not going to attempt to list them...I will attempt this when I'm bored! I think I counted about 72 separate instances of "dream" being used and 61 separate instances of "heart" in our lists. I could be wrong, but I don't feel like counting them again.

Snakes and Arrows. I was always too consumed with their older material than to really give this one a real shot after its release. Initially I didn't really like it, but I can easily say it's grown on me in the past couple years.

QUOTE (Zanadoo @ May 10 2012, 09:25 AM) Didn't they used to do this for most of their albums? I love listening to old radio premier specials, A Farewell to Kings is great. It's real early, I'm really hoping we get at least something today, though. That sounds interesting, any idea where I could find a copy or a stream of this?

QUOTE (rushgoober @ May 9 2012, 08:14 AM) If you really want to talk about an overused word in Rush lyrics, be prepared, because it's used A LOT!
Rock and roll-in's a scream, makin' millions my dream
A wondrous dream came into being
Fantastic dreams come true
The dreams's gone stale, but still, let hope prevail
We would sit and talk of dreams all night
Dreams of youth
And a dream must give it flame
V. Oracle: The Dream
Dream can't you show me the light?
The dream is still in my head
Not fade like all my dreams
Sweet Jamaican pipe dreams
Come explore your dreams' creation
No matter what your dreams might be
Try as they might They cannot steal your dreams
VI. The Sphere: A Kind of Dream
Things that I once dreamed of have become reality.
II. To sleep, perchance to dream...
The shifting shafts of shining Weave the fabric of their dreams...
To keep it as new has been his dearest dream.
Race back to the farm, to dream with my uncle at the fireside.
The universal dream
Will drag the dream into existence.
Nowhere is the dreamer Or the misfit so alone
The restless dreams of youth
Some will sell their dreams for small desires
And start to dream of somewhere To relax their restless flight
Dances on the edge of his dream
But most of us just dream about The things we'd like to be
Mingles with the bright stuff of dreams
I'm not giving up On implausible dreams-
From dreams to a bowl of dust
Big money make a million dreams
We break the surface tension With our wild kinetic dreams
While their invaders dream of lands they've left behind
Dreams flow across the heartland
Dreams transport desires
Dreams transport the ones Who need to get out of town
They dream in Middletown...
More things than are dreamed about
Dance and dream like lovers
Now I lay me down in Dreamland
Hold the flame 'til the dream ignites-
A spirit with a vision is a dream with a mission
I walk through their beautiful buildings And I wish I had their dreams
But dreams don't need to have motion
In the dreams of a desert thirst
dreams are sometimes catching
Dreamers learn to steer by the stars
Dreamers turn to look at the cars
dreams for self-delusion
I had a dream of a winter garden
I had a dream of the open water
chase the dreams of merchandise
Dreamline
Wondering what our dreams might be worth
To leave you stranded in Dreamland
If the dream is won - Though everything is lost
Just another dreamer who was going too far
Evil as a murderer's dream
In the city where nobody smiles And nobody dreams
Live and love and dream
Dream of a Peaceable Kingdom
Dream of a time without war
You could look with pride On your world of dreams
Form a dream to rise to Earthshine
Did I have a dream?
Or did the dream have me?
Dream - Temporary madness
Dream - A voice in the wilderness
Dream - Unconscious revelations
Another world of dreams appears
Dream - A walk in the wilderness
Dream - Unconscious recreation
It's a dream for the waking
To the distant dream of the cityHeh. See, I always noticed the word "heart" used a lot
Anthem of the heart and anthem of the mind
Begging hands and bleeding hearts
Weakening the body and saddening the heart
Gives my heart no peace
My heart will lie beside you
Feel, my heart is pounding
See how it sings like a sad heart
Let your heart be the anchor
Withered hearts and cruel, tormented eyes
Can't we find the minds to lead us closer to the heart
Closer to the heart
Eyes wide open heart undefended
Headed for the heart of Cygnus
Sound and fury drowns my heart
In the heart's eternal light
And the hearts of men despaired
IV. Armageddon: The Battle of Heart and Mind
The universe divided as the heart and mind collided
For their hearts were so unclear
To the heart of Cygnus' fearsome force
With the heart and mind united in a single perfect sphere
All this machinery making modern music can still be open-hearted
Or playing from the heart? It's hard for one to know
Different hearts beat on different strings
Caught in the camera eye. I have no heart to lie
A vague sensation quickens in his young and restless heart
A wound that will not heal- A heart that cannot feel
A world of indifference heads and hearts too full
It's the color of your heartbeat
The heartbreak climb uphill
Dreams flow across the heartland
Right to the heart of the matter
In the secret wells of emotion buried deep in our hearts
Primitive things stir the hearts of everyone
Tough times demand tough talk demand tough hearts demand tough songs
Too-tender hearts upon our sleeves
Between these two directions my heart is sometimes torn
The heart of a lonely hunter guards a dangerous frontier
Read the words that touch my heart
Like the heart of the earth would burst
Staring down into a heartless sea
Here I hide in the heart of the city
When my heart still changes overnight
Take heart from earth and weather
Take heart from the harvest
I hear in the rate of her heart
Holding my hand to my heart
Holding my fist to my racing heart
On a desert highway straight to the heart of the sun
Memory a flickering light left behind in the heartland
My counterpart - my foolish heart
I felt a shadow cross my heart
At the speed of love my heart goes out to you
She said sure, my heart is boundless
The flame at the heart of a pawnbroker's diamond
Send your heartbeat round the world
A gentle hand, a secret touch on the heart
And the secret places of the heart
Memory humming at the heart of a factory town
Memory strumming at the heart of a moving picture
Memory drumming at the heart of an English winter
Memories beating at the heart of an African village
I think your list is longer though

QUOTE (GangsterOnBoats @ May 8 2012, 08:12 AM) Hmm, how about they play all of Hemispheres, AFTK, and Grace Under Pressure with an encore of the whole of CA. 
This.. would.. be... AWESOME!
But throw in Power Windows in its entirety too and I could die happy

QUOTE (Khan @ May 9 2012, 09:52 AM) I would sure like to know which seating arrangement is correct.
MT has one layout and TM has anotherEvery chart I see lists the floor seats from either 1-12 or 1-14 starting with seat 1 all the way stage left. So floor 1 seat 1 would be against the wall Geddy's side, and floor 3 seat 14 would be the opposite wall.
..I think that's what you're asking

QUOTE (GeddyLeefan2112 @ May 9 2012, 09:41 AM) QUOTE (SchemingDemon @ May 9 2012, 09:40 AM) I gave in and bought floor 3 row T. Alex's side, not too bad. How come none of these presales offer tickets on Geddy's side? I can't believe you found Row T on the floor. That's incredible. I'm still only finding Row Z on Alex's side.
I'm with you. I want some Geddy side tickets.
Yeah and the good part is, I'm seat 3 so I'm towards the middle, not the edge. This is basically the exact same seat I picked up for Detroit. Row 20 isn't too bad, but I was definitely hoping for closer.

Yeah... I can't find anything closer than row T for Columbus. This is really annoying
