rushfanforever!

This describes just about everybody that was sitting around me at the Cleveland show or just the audience overall, for the most part. Ive been to a lot of Rush shows, 18 I believe, and this is pretty much every Rush show ive ever been to since Power Windows. Rush isnt exactly an emotional or very energetic band, so they dont really drag that energy out of their audiences. It's mostly people just standing around. Sometimes someone gets ambitious and will do some air drumming. -____- Another band I love as much as Rush but for entirely different reasons is Live. Their energy was just insane, the exact opposite of Rush. Going to their shows was an amazing experience and I still believe they were a MUCH better live band than Rush ever was due to their raw energy and tension in their songs that Rush never had, and the audience really feeds off that so at Live shows everyone was really into. Ed is a much more dynamic frontman than Geddy. Look at these people. Having a great time when they go into the high energy choruses. When they go into the last chorus around 3:53 that place is blowin up. Of course Rush are better players and their songs are more complex, but its just more fun going to Live shows. Or was anyway, they broke up recently. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XH03SJjed-k&t=3m53s ZZZZZZZZZZZ Sorry, trenken. I'm not impressed...They broke up?? Good...we're not missing much IMO...I think you'd need to be very high and/or stoned to listen to this for more than 10 minutes.....video gave me a headache....Rush asleep are better than these guys... No energy at Rush shows?? Well then you haven't seen me playing pinball dancing, fist pumping & bouncing off the person next to me at Rush Shows for the entire show...

Yep, more added misery for everyone! Used to live in Brooklyn, NY and I feel sad that the recovery effort is taking so long! Looks like we got Katrina II on our hands...(certainly didn't help that most NY'ers didn't listen to the warnings and get out of there!)

Just to add my two cents to this thread...why would anyone drag their significant other to a concert that they have no interest in? Clearly/hopefully you know what they like so why force the issue? I'd never ask my hubby to go to Rush shows...nothing wrong with going solo!

Hey WK, Did you have your mail held at the post office while you were at the show(s)? If so, theft shouldn't be an issue...Always a good idea... default/smile.png No, I didn't look into that option, but as it turns out, a couple of minutes after I made that post, I texted my sister and she told me that it came. So all is good. That's cool!! Are you suffering from post-concert depression?? I certainly am....I wish they'd announce the dates for the 2nd leg already...(yes, I'm very impatient...) I need more shows....

So has everyone received their VIP goodies? Just wondering if all shows have been shipped yet or not?

It is pretty nice and really RED. Will try to post a pic later. Better late than never, eh??? Now we wait for the other goodies.....

I had thought that they were going to record at the Toronto shows for the hometown crowd, but I was mistaken. I'm dying to know where the real DVD city is going to be....Is there any advance notice given for this??? I'd like to be there rockin' out to .... Just look for the crazy female fan with the three WI license plates...

QUOTE (robertrobyn @ Oct 22 2012, 11:02 PM) I got an email tonight from VIP nation saying it was shipped UPS should be here on wed.!! OK, so if you're located nearby in CA, I'm guessing that the rest of us whose show(s) already passed should start to see our stuff by early next week... waiting for my email.....

So what does everyone think of the new venue in downtown Brooklyn? Just curious as I know it's located in a dicey neighborhood... Used to live in the Midwood section (Kings Hwy & Ave P) of Brooklyn about 20 years ago so things might have changed for the better....hopefully....

Yep, we all are still waiting per a listed thread on this topic over in "Lighted Stage". (Delay on package shipments due to an outsourced shipment of guitar pics from China per another poster who called them too see what was up! Supposed to arrive in port at LA last weekend.) Very annoying! My shows were Indy & Chicago!!

She's a holdover from the "Seven Cities of Gold Dancers" Duff, Nope, sorry not jealous in the least bit!! This 45 year old married female is just questioning her wardrobe choice as the majority of the audience are male including yourself. You really want to be ...ahem..."at attention" watching a show?? The whole music experience is supposed to be the focus, not dreaming,fanasizing, or 'g about the violinist's body and.... (you can fill in the blanks).... For the other posters, Sorry, I'm definately NOT homo....prude?? Maybe.... ...(old woman) maybe....
