  1. Does anyone know how the seating numbers begin on the floor of the Pepsi center in Denver? For example in St.Louis at the Scottrade Center seat one starts on the far right for every section.
  2. Good point, or even the day of the show, believe it or not. Agree I never get to uptight about these pre-sales. I try, but I have better luck waiting to closer to show time.
  3. Here are a couple items I am hoping finds a good Rush fan home: http://www.ebay.com/itm/291309916487 http://www.ebay.com/itm/291309906901 http://www.ebay.com/itm/291309928442
  4. I just recently put up a couple of items on eBay myself and would like to find them a good home, but like you I am reluctant to post them here for being crucified. Hope you health scare is over and it was some pretty rare items you had. Good luck
  5. Thanks coventry I will look into those amps. I did think that my amp was my weakest link. I did replace the tubes about a year back with some Western Electric tubes my buddy gave me, they made a big difference. I will look into your suggestions for the amp and the other tubes. I noticed you live in St.Louis, I live in Mt.Vernon, Il. we are almost neighbors, well at least in the online world. We might need to meet up next time Rush comes to town.
  6. Hybrid SACD The SACD layer of hybrid SACDs offers much higher fidelity than regular compact discs, containing up to four times the musical information. Hybrid SACDs are designed for CD-quality playback on conventional systems, including home and car stereos, portable CD players, computer CD- and DVD-ROM drives, and DVD players.
  7. According to Amazon a release date of July 1st. Of course these due tend to get pushed back some. Pre-ordered mine! http://www.amazon.com/Presto-Rush/dp/B00KB01P4E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1401123806&sr=8-1&keywords=rush+presto+sacd
  8. Here are the components I am currently using: Pioneer Multi-Channel Receiver VSX-819H (550 watts if memory serves me correctly) Shanling Tube Disc Player CD-T-100A JBL- L65 (purchased these in 1977 and are my pride and joys)(have a very nice warm feel to them) JBL - L890 Serie Studio-L (not as warm as the 65 put still sound great) ION Turntable- received as a present (cheap, thus the reason I want and need a better table)
  9. I knew my fellow Rush vinyl friends would come through. I really like the Lenco 88. I had a few Technics about 20 years ago and threw them out. Dummy me!!!
  10. Thanks for the suggestions!! Yes I could care less about the USB portion of the turntable, so I will look for the suggestions above.
  11. Was looking for some advice and who better to ask than my fellow Rush fans. I have an old cheap turntable and I am looking to upgrade. Was thinking of the Audio-Technica AT-LP120-USB which gets great reviews on several websites. Was hoping to stay in this price range or at least around it if I can. Need something nicer to listen to the new Rush album I received and the others I have collected over the years. Plus I have the new Led Zeppelin box sets ordered and I want something of descent quality to listen to them with. Any suggestions?
  12. Did the same thing here,decided I would put something together myself and a lot cheaper and nicer.
  13. Not that anybody really cares, I got the dates wrong. First Rush at the O2 (thanks musicalbox12), then Roger at the Royal Albert Hall. In for a great couple of nights in London!
  14. I might be interested in your tickets. I will be there during this time frame. Actually going to see Roger Hodgson at the Royal Albert Hall the night before(front row). So we were just going to see if we could get tickets for the Rush show when we got there. Then I seen your tickets and thought what the hell. So I guess first things first, have you sold them already?

In my opinion The Garden is the best song on CA. Love the passion on both of those songs. Does anybody know if they ever played Light live? I have been to every tour since 2112, but my memory is not that good Wonder why? Nope they skipped it during the Presto Tour and never played it Live! Why...beats me? Thanks I did not think they did, so let's hope they do it this time around!!

    The Garden

    QUOTE (g under p @ Jun 27 2012, 08:46 AM) QUOTE (Mara @ Jun 26 2012, 05:17 PM) In English, please? No idea what "IIWII" means. Don't much care, either. And I disagree. "The Garden" is a thing of ineffable beauty. And it is not intended to be a show-offy piece for anyone. I think it's one of the best songs on the album...it stood out immediately. I just wonder why did they place it at the end of the album? The song straight up rocks... I agree, it is my favorite song on the album! Hope they play it on tour!!!
  19. Is there a password for the presale tomorrow for London? Really a year in advance, this is crazy! But I,m still going!!! http://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/event/350048...01&minorcatid=1
  20. QUOTE (GeddyLeefan2112 @ May 10 2012, 11:44 AM)The sad thing is a lot of these presales (Citi card and Live Nation mobile, etc) make you DO something to get what you think is special treatment, when its really just the same ole shitty seats. Music Today was the only presale that had any seats that were REMOTELY good and I still didn't find any good tickets. I hate buying Rush tickets. This is the only band I've bought tickets for where I have to slave like this. I know it happens with a lot of other bands but I haven't experienced it. It's just really tiring.

I took the advice from several of you and just waited for better seats to pop up. This is crazy after 5 days these seats come available. Some of you might remember me from the Vapor Trails motorcycle I built and posted here many years ago. I just wanted to share this with those that would be as excited as I am! Ticketmaster for $375 dollars. Were these Platinum tickets by any chance? Yes they where. I am glad I went this route rather than the VIP! I just kept looking off and on during the day and then all of a sudden these showed up.

And I remember that bike! Didn't someone from the Rush camp see it and have some good things to say? Yes they have all seen pictures of it anyway. The coolest thing was when I gave pictures to Loren during the drumkit tour and he said he would pass it on to Neil and the boys. It was about a year or so later that I received a postcard from Neil saying that he really liked the bike and he and Michael his security guy dreamed and discussed about building a Rush bike. So when I got that from Neil I was pretty excited that he liked it and that I did a good job building it.
