QUOTE (mazyyz @ Sep 13 2012, 09:32 PM) Are the episodes on DVD? I've seen them all, but would like to see them again. It is a great show. I bought the box set with everything included! Wasn't cheap at $90.00 from Barnes & Noble, but worth it for the laughs!!

QUOTE (Chicken hawk @ Sep 20 2012, 10:41 PM) Is a tour joke or just the one nighter? I love his sense of humor. Nahh, just the one night in Manchester! Rats!!! Geddy was having keyboard "issues" so Alex did the joke to fill/kill time. Would've loved to be there in person to hear it!!!

QUOTE (HigherWater @ Sep 20 2012, 10:37 PM) I live in Colorado. I'm a school teacher. I have resigned myself to the realization that I will not be seeing Rush live on this tour. (No travel for me) So I've been watching the You Tubes with a whole lot of interest and some sadness. Rush is picking up some serious steam! The videos from Detroit and Chicago are unbelieveble. The boys sound amazing and the show is tight and visually brilliant. If you're a setlist hater it's time to get over it! This tour is fantastic and the energy is clearly on the rise. Vegas perhaps?? (Closest to you..) No vacation?? I'm an Accountant so I have some flexibility.... C'mon...live a little!! Yes, the shows were AWESOME!!!!

QUOTE (BriGuy @ Sep 20 2012, 09:21 PM) I also took note of how good Geddy sounded. I think it was a mistake to record so late in the TMT. I know what Cleveland means for them, but by then Geddy's voice was nearly shot. I was happy the stop in Pittsburgh was early in this tour. Geddy sounded great in Indy and Chicago. Early shows, but wow..can he still crank it out!!!!! I was blown away!!! Having learned that he wasn't feeling well during the Cleveland Time Machine DVD show, I give him tons of credit for going on in that condition. I have no idea how refunding or rebooking works, but he had the B*lls and determination to go on anyway!!!

QUOTE (gangsterfurious @ Sep 19 2012, 10:59 PM) Still waiting... It's a little annoying that they have a t-shirt in the packet yet there are going to be a bunch of fans that won't be able to wear them for their shows. OK, that was my rant for the night. Haven't gotten mine either, and my shows were last week!! Apparently they want you to shell out additional $$$ for shirts at the merch table at the venues. Which I did in Indy (was able to change back at my hotel which was nearby.) If everyone wore their "advance" shirts to the shows, shirt sales at the venue would be down.... Nice idea, eh??? Can you say Captialism??

Says license plate-wielding view-blocker guy Hey Goose, you mean Gal!!! Yes, there are female fans!! Well, I wasn't blocking everyone' view for the entire show unlike Mr. Clapper! Was hard to hear the lyrics while he was clapping most of the night! So do you have a duck/goose collection? Quack! Quack!

QUOTE (RASH 2112 @ Sep 16 2012, 10:37 PM) There was a fun moment with Alex during the show. I forget which song it was. But Neil had thrown a drumstick in the air and missed the catch. It bounced off one of the cymbals (you could hear it) and landed at center stage. A few moments later, Alex, while jamming, picked up the stick and started playing the guitar with the drumstick. (nod to Jimmy Page or the string ensemble?) He used the stick for few seconds and then tossed it in to the crowd. They were clearly having a lot of fun. Geddy was hopping all over the stage. Neil had a few smiles during the show. The string section was laughing and having fun all night. Great atmosphere..... They were definately having fun last night! When several team members of the Blackhawks came out during the mock fight with the gorilla, the place just erupted!! I'm not a fan, but that was so cool!! I hope I didn't piss anyone off by blocking their view with my set of WI license plates. If so, sorry!!! I was having too much fun at the end of the show!! For reference, I was in Section 2, row 14...behind the loudest clapper on the planet!! Clapper Dude, if you read this, please just holler/yell for future shows..your clapping is rather annoying IMO!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE (billybobjoe1881 @ Sep 14 2012, 12:42 AM) How much did you guys pay for V.I.P. packages? I paid $110 for second bowl two sections over from the stage on the right. So were you on Alex's side? I paid $325.00 each for both shows including tix and swag (Indy and Chicago), plus $50.00 each for the two red hoodie sweatshirts. Well worth it in my opinion!! (Yes, I'll eat ramen noodles for the rest of my life...it's okay!)

But instead they are packing it into the rear of their roots fans! Well, everyone should be happy and appreciate regardless! Does everyone really want to hear Geddy straining to sing the 70's stuff just to satisfy some "root" fans? Certainy not worth it to cause him any unneccesary vocal problems! This 1980 fan says no way!

QUOTE (GeminiRising79 @ Sep 13 2012, 08:36 AM) Grumpy old man? Aren't you describing Neil Peart?! No, to me it's the collective "old" men on this board who see no shame in bashing without abandon! Very annoying to say the least! No appreciation for the fact that the boys are still rocking? They could have packed it in years ago!

Why do people feel the need to post such negative stuff on here about ??? "If you have nothing good to say, then don't...." Well you know the rest!!

QUOTE (Ozy @ Sep 10 2012, 07:28 AM) Wait, the VIP swag was mailed to you? I ordered VIP for the Phoenix show and called them. They said that everything is picked up at the box office, including the swag. I thought that was very weird as I'd have to make a trip back to the car to store the swag. I sure would like more clarification on that. Well, I got the red sweatshirt hoodies this past Saturday, but nothing else yet? From reading another thread, I see that you pick up the VIP laminate and commerative tix day of show. God only knows when you get the other goodies..teeshirt, tour book, etc. Will advise when the other goodies arrive...

QUOTE (Unattractive Truth @ Sep 10 2012, 05:20 PM) I didn't even bother to pretend. I was on the board all opening night. Yep, happened to me too! Even after I wanted to be surprised going in...I just couldn't resist!! Stayed up most of the night to view everything.... For me is like a drug, and I'm addicted! Is it Thursday yet??????
