Yeah. Get ready to be extremely disappointed. Setlist and energy sucks. Sound isn't getting better.

 

Stay home and save the money.

 

Hey, it's you again! I was wondering where you were.

Only problem - they won't get free Apple Pie at every show like those of us in the States get...

 

Wait a minute!!! I didn't get any pie!!! DAMNIT! Everybody else got some. It seems like I'm always the one to miss out on getting pie. :(

Front row, right in front of Alex. Clockwork Angels Tour. 9/11/12 Pittsburgh, PA. Consol Energy Center.

I dunno. I guess standing is okay, but apparently rocking out by banging your head and pumping your fists is a sin because I was just told that I'm pissing everybody behind me off. BTW, I'm 2nd row on the floor and was told this.

 

Jeez, people are f***ing old!!!

 

2nd row you should be ejected for not standing and moving your body. Holy shit that's f*cked up.

 

Exactly. BTW, I forgot to mention that even after I was told this, I proceeded to rock out. I just turned the dial from 11 back to 10 is all. :)

And another f***ing thing: the guy who said that to me last night had a f***ing camera in his hands half the damn night. So let me guess: he couldn't have a rock n roller ruining his or other people's fancy schmancy pictures. Because everybody knows that you go to concerts to take pictures and not to rock out.

Yeah, I mean, when I say "old," I'm not necessarily referring to physical age, but rather, the mindset of these people. So I hope nobody thinks I'm knocking on older people in general with my statement.

 

But y'know what? If anything here needs to be considered a sin, it should be telling people to "calm down" or "sit down" at a damn concert!!!

Ahh... I never considered that. Maybe I'm not screwed. Maybe going to concerts alone does and will pay off!!!! (leaving alone, on the other hand, sucks :( )

 

 

Holy shit. This is getting old. But I digress, I feed the troll.

 

Set 1: Hold Your Fire

 

Set 2: Test 4 Echo

 

Perfect. I'd finally get to hear "Open Secrets," "Dog Years," and "Virtuality!" :D

Uh oh. I bought during the presale over a slow internet connection and didn't complete the transaction until a few seconds after 12:03.

 

I'm gonna get row 15 in Baltimore :cry:

Prince of Tyrus: did you buy the vip tix during the presale which required the password or during the regular sale?

Has anybody had any success in say, mailing one item to one venue and mailing another item to another venue and getting both items signed that way? I don't think that they'd memorize the return names and addresses for every item they get.

***SPOILER ALERT*****

 

 

I understand how a lot of people in this thread feel about the "good seats" being blocked off for VIP seats that cost a lot more than face value. I've dealt with it so many times since 2008 when I first started going to concerts, but the days of being able to get a good seat at face value were already gone by then. It's too bad that Rush doesn't really run their own fan club presale in which, say, if you're a paying member of the fan club, you get e-mailed a unique code that you can use to buy a GREAT seat at face value, none of this bullshit where you do a presale just to get row 30 or some bullshit.

 

But hell, I went the VIP Nation route, so maybe I'm somewhat of a hypocrite, maybe.

 

But hey, Mika, maybe there will be more hardcore fans in those up front seats this time around since the presales started so early and only people that check out RIAB (and maybe a few other Rush dedicated websites) were really the only people who got the password and cared enough about Rush to spend their money like that. Although, I'm definitely not saying that just because somebody may not have had the money at the time that that means that they're not a true fan. That's not what I meant at all.

 

And don't worry, not all of us VIP buyers are casual fans who only know one or two Rush songs:

(I'm guy giving the horns and jumping around at times ;) )

I'd be happy with just a "chick" ... or even just a woman... doesn't have to like Rush or have tattoos... she would have to be sane and sober, however. Those two requirements seems to be in short supply these days!!

HA! I wish everyone good luck on their quest to score some female Rush tail.

 

Thanks. I'm definitely going to need it.

 

"The point of the journey is not to arrive"

 

The above quote/lyric always comes to mind when I think about my (non) adventures with women. :/

Okay so I did the VIP deal. Purchase was finished at 12:01 anyone do this last time? What are my odds at front row lol?

 

I finished at 12:02 for Pittsburgh last year and got front row. I guess it depends on your city, but you should be fine.

Last year, I ordered a VIP nation presale ticket for Pittsburgh. After I was done, the clock said 12:02. My seat was front row in front of Alex. Today, I did the same thing for Baltimore, but when I was done, the clock said 12:03.

 

I'll be row 15 for sure this time.

Damn, my credit card bills aren't gonna be pretty...

I like Subdivisions more than TSOR, but Spirit is probably the better opening song.

Yeah. Now that the Cleveland show has passed and have no other concerts coming up for any band, this PCD is hitting me harder than ever.

Has anybody from Pittsburgh/went to the Pittsburgh show gotten their tourbooks/poster/etc. yet? I see that people are starting to get their stuff now and it figures that it be the weekend that I'm in Cleveland and it also figures that they don't give us a tracking # either or require a signature, being that these things cost between 275 and 325 dollars for most people.

 

No, I'll probably be waiting for weeks, while what'll probably actually happen is some thug kid will just waltz right on up to my porch, take my package and sell it for drug money.

 

I HATE THIS SHIT!!!!

 

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...

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.

@cygnusNah. It's more likely what happens when a bunch of stuck in 1976, 1980-81 old people pay good money expecting to only hear those songs, totally forgetting the fact that Rush has more in their catalogue than the first album, 2112, PeW, and MP.

 

How is Limelight a "special" one-off song? I mean, I get "one-off," but how is it "special?"

...unemotional...

 

This describes just about everybody that was sitting around me at the Cleveland show or just the audience overall, for the most part.

Limelight wasn't played in Cleveland. Middletown Dreams was.
