In reality I was expecting R40 to be their last tour, but in my own selfish mind I was hoping for just one more in the future maybe (and then another, and another...). Each member has earned the right to say I am going to retire and call it quits. I have been going to their concerts since 1978 and thought they may be still playing after I was 6 feet in the ground (LOL). God bless them and may they enjoy the rest of their lives with their family. They definitely own their own little piece of the music industry forever.

Cut to the Chase

nevermind......

Cut to the Chase

3 Stooges brought back from the dead.

Power Windows was an album I did not like for a long time and totally ignored. As I listened to Show of Hands more and got into the PW songs I listened to the album more and now love most of the songs. Maybe its because I'm 56 years old now?

Not one of their best songs as far as musical composition goes but it has that funky beat that draws me in.

Infants and arena shows do not go together at all. Heck, infants and any loud show do not go together at all! Not only is it bad for the child, it is bad for the people around this person as well. Two words...... COMMON SENSE.

I've been going to RUSH shows since 1977 and did not want to miss this possible last big tour. However tickets were gone so fast and I was not in the position to pay outrageous prices for a decent seat. I have been taking my son to shows since 1996 and he was very upset as well that tickets disappeared so fast for the Boston show. As luck has it, he is in a very good paying job and told me it was "payback" time and purchased 13th row seats for outrageous money but he didn't care, he wasn't missing this for anything and wanted good seats. He is considering this our farewell to RUSH possibly. We are going to do this tour up like none other. I love the kids of RUSH parents.

Absolutely they will create a live version. This tour is the 40th anniversary promotion and there is no way they will not release live versions. There will be CD/DVD/Blue Ray/Vinyl and probably even VHS/Cassette versions (for us "old-timers"). LOL.

CTTC by far, much better live song to keep the energy flowing. LI is a good song, but keeping it aside for 30 years down the road when my kids put me in the rest home.

Please , please, please CUT TO THE CHASE !!!!!!!

I would love to see Caravan as an opener. I think it would be an excellant choice.

I saw most of the tours from 2112 on, and some multiple times. However, Hemispheres will never get old.

It is a smaller venue (if it is the Mohegan Sun) and a great place to see a show. Saw them there for the CA tour. Plus they can visit the casino after the show.

It was a great show, especially since it was the first "evening with Rush" tour with no opening act. To add to it, it was the first concert I brought my son to and we had 8th row seats right in front of Geddy. It was a great night. My son treated me to 2 shows on the CA tours. It pays dividends to be good to your kids growing up. LOL

Hemispheres. My all time favorite.

It was an awesome show. The first "evening with RUSH" tour and also the first RUSH concert for my son. We had great floor seats right in front of Geddy.

Counterparts Turn the Page

The fact that the piece of crap Rolling Stone is even acknowledged RUSH is amazing.

Hemispheres. Even though I was a fan before this album, this one blew me away and made a fan forever! I can never stop listening to it.

I brought my son to his first concert in Tampa when he was 15 and as been a fan ever since. He is now 32 and has his own family (4 and 2 yrs old). My youngest daughter is 27 and also a huge fan with 1 son (3 yrs old). I doubt very much if I get a chance to bring my grandkids to a RUSH concert, but who knows.

La Villa is #1. For some reason the quick solo in Cut to the Chase does it for me.

Great story! It just drives home the point that RUSH has always been about the fans and the music. They are truly a one of a kind band.
