and, I'll make that a 'no' too

I'd love them to drop a couple of songs from CA, but can't think they'll change much at all, if anything. It's the second leg of the same tour after all - it's not a different tour, and it's not just a case of switching music, but it also involves lights being reprogrammed, as well as the videos plus and pyro etc etc.

I'm not a great fan of CA, but I do think there are too many tracks from it on the set list.

A couple less tracks from CA to make room for a couple of classic 'oldies' would be good,

but that's just me, and we all have a different opinion on the whole subject.

Today is the 25th March, so its 2 months to go...2 MONTHS TO GO!! I'm really excited, except that I still don't have my ticket.

Yes I know there's plenty of time...ish, but I'm getting worried

 

I've written again to tickethut and must say they are not helpful at all except for saying 'we havent received them yet'.

Awful PR...I bought the ticket months and months ago.....grrrr

yeh, it'll never happen, but no problem guessing what might happen

 

I'll go for

TSOR

2112 overture

Tom Sawyer

YYZ.

Overture....the first Rush piece I ever heard...love it

 

From Side two Tears

Yes, I've contacted the seller via ebay. They've said over the months that they are waiting for ticketmaster to release the tickets. I guess it depends how these modern 'ticket touts' work (as that is what they are in essence really). I'd love to know how they manage to get the tickets before the general public...

 

But I see they sell tickets for all sorts of events, so It can't be a scam I hope..... just getting a little concerned as the days go by.

Still 4 months to go though...

I'd like to see them drop a couple of CA tracks (I'm not a huge fan of the album-sorry)

and add something like Hemispheres -prelude....

permanent waves

 

a show of hands

Can I ask if anyone has received their tickets for the London O2 show on 24th May.

 

I bought mine on ebay(I know...silly me) from a 'middle man' agency called ticket hut..... I bought it back in October, but still dont have the ticket.

I've messaged them several times but they just keep saying that ticketmaster haven't released the tickets yet.

It's still 4 months away, but I am getting slightly concerned about this.

Should I be?

 

Thanks

I was going to comment on this earlier, but didn’t because I just thought it was me as a Brit that didn’t ‘get’ the videos at all. But many seem to be of a similar opinion. I’ve only seen them via youtube(I have to wait until May to see them in the UK). I think they’ve been pretty bad, and only mildly amusing in parts. I can see the purpose of having them, but they are nowhere near as good as previous offerings.

I think the idea of having intro/outro videos is a great one, and they are there for a reason so I wouldn’t want to see them removed (plus with them the show lasts that magical ‘3 hours’)They wouldn’t be replaced by a few more songs either as some have suggested because part of the reason they’re there in the first place is to give the band a break.

I don’t think you can blame the band for the script, because I would imagine they would have other people writing them, with some creative input from the band, but I was expecting something better. So on the whole very disappointed with them…. If an R40 tour happens then that will be something special if they follow a similar line to what we saw for R30.

not a song intro, but I love 'Ladies and gentlemen, the professor on the drum kit'

if it's their 20th Studio Album, call it 2014

if it's their 21st, call it 2+1+1+2

 

failing that 'Smell the Glove' is as good as any suggestions....

 

 

'Hello Cleveland ! Rock an' roll'

In the words of Nigel Tufnel 'Don't even look at it!'

 

lucky you!!

 

try not to say 'love you guys - thanks for the music' or variations of it as they'll have heard it a zillion times, try and come up with something totally random then you might get them to laugh.

can i ask a daft question....if it's a 10 minute drive, then isn't it a distance that could be walked? I guess it's too late once you're stuck in the traffic though!

 

I think there'll do an R40 tour...perhaps one more album and tour and that'll be it.....hope not though

they might be saving a bunch of 70s tunes for 'R40'

I'm surprised no one has said Moving Pictures...

Pictures being transported, emotive pictures....

never mind. I'll get my coat

 

 

thank you so much!!

thank you in anticipation!

 

I reckon it's family.

I've got the 'RUSH' app but my old iphone(3G) is too old and the app won't work with it (and no, sadly I can't afford a new one!)

 

will some kind soul that has the app please kindly put the new 3 TSOR songs on line (youtube or whatever)...pleeeeeease.

 

Those clips on the intro videos from the last tour are so funny, and I'd love to hear the full versions.

 

Thanks in anticipation!

best short... Spirit of Radio.... just love the whole package

 

best instrumental.... I love those fist few minutes of Hemispheres, but La Villa Strangiato has it for me..plenty of contrast, great riffs, ebbs and flows bla bla bla

 

 

just out of interest how do you know which songs have been taken down a semitone?

Has it been mentioned in interviews?
