QUOTE (IChoseFreeWill @ May 10 2012, 07:56 PM)I hope they do play Red Sector A. It is my favorite from that album. It is my guitar instructor's favorite Rush song. This may not be a popular opinion, given how scary that song is. But I would still like to hear it live. Otherwise, I do not think they will particularly highlight GuP. I mean, it had not been quite 30 years when they played the entire MP in the Time Machine tour. They played it because it was their best selling album with their best known song. Nice to see someone else loves this song too!

You can pick up a pair at Guitar Center for about $15.00. Here's the link.. http://www.guitarcenter.com/Hearos-High-Fi...945-i1134130.gc http://images.guitarcenter.com/products/optionLarge/Hearos/DV016_Jpg_Large_421214.jpg Bought myself 4 pairs of these. It's my first & second shows with so I'll see loud it gets up close within 15 rows.

QUOTE (irishguyincc @ May 5 2012, 04:33 AM)I agree this VIP lottery thing is annoying, but before you castigate Rush check out what other bands are selling through VIP Nation: https://v2.iloveallaccess.com/tours/eagles/...f65e412VwD3ZQtv Those prices are truly insane. The current Rush ticket prices by comparison are only kind of insane. I bought a musictoday presale ticket for the San Antonio show, row 16 for $147. That is expensive. The VIP were $325, that is even more expensive, but at least they aren't $500 for first 20 rows like those Eagles tix I linked to above. $500 for rows 1-20? Holy crap! Thats insane unless you're a die-hard fan! (I like the Eagles, but not enough to fork over that much $$! Of course, Rush is a different story!) My VIP tix better score me at least by row 6 in a good section where I can see the entire band, otherwise I'm gonna be upset! Does make you wonder if the "older" bands with relatively short tour life left are just laughing all the way to the bank at our expense!

But this Muslim dude from the Toledo show just does not look like he fit in . At least it appears he was enjoying the show! at approximately 0:40: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9BGClR0YaI Share your stories! FYI. . . if I'm not mistaken, Farid is a Sikh, not a Muslim. Big difference. Be careful about who you stereotype, please. I thought I recognized Kelly on the TM Cleveland DVD! I'm just a 40+ older version! Kelly, okay I'm jealous.. Pics and stuff from Alex...OMG!

Yep, this 40-something? female is gonna definitely be in The minority rockin' out, knowing most of the lyrics. Hopefully, I'll luck out and be up close to see Alex's (And everyone else's) reaction. He'll be amused for sure!

I already purchased the chicago VIP package with a 12:08 Checkout & will Do the VIP route again for Indy on 5/7. Annoying with uncertainty of the seat locations, but within 15 rows is fine by me! (First shows for this die-hard Rush fan! Better late than never!) We'll see what happens vip seat-wise for purchasing more tix for the next tour leg next year!
