Did you think they were showing the Power Windows tour? I saw the tour 5 times and still couldn't get it right. Young people: don't do (too many) drugs.

I attended with my daughter, and like everyone else, I was unhappily surprised to see them start with the post-intermission songs. I was waiting for The Big Money to start the show. 90% of the theater treated it like a movie; the other 10% of us treated it like a concert.

I guarantee that they will only sign one item. I sent my CofS album with silver paint pen addressed to my mother's home and my GUP album with fine black sharpie addressed to my home. I received the GUP album beautifully signed by all 3 (AND THEY ALWAYS PERSONALIZE) and I received the CofS album unsigned , but oddly, also sent back to my home address. They know what they're doing.

I have been a :rush: fan since 1976. First saw them as the opening band (of 3) on a bill with Robin Trower. By the time the summer leg of this tour is over, I will have seen them 32 times. Regarding newbies, my 11 yo daughter will have 5 :rush: shows under her belt by the time this tour ends. I, for one, welcome all :rush: fans ... Those in "the know" and those just now discovering. I also love that I have "known something special" for nearly 4 decades and love to share and nurture newbies with my experiences and passion.

:rush: fans were always smart enough to disregard what the critics had to say (or NOT say) and it will be just as easy to disregard you. yes, now you have both - a rectum and an opinion ... can't tell which is which.

:rush: I was at both the Philly and the Montreal shows and he sang "Phillies cap" and "Expos cap" appropriately. :rush:

Hi Halfway, On Friday morning, I tried TcketMaster and got 3 seats in Section 102, on Geddy's side. That will do for us, since we (my daughter and I) got VIP seats for Baltimore. Patiently waiting for VIP Nation pre-sale for Hershey and Boston. Thanks! :rush: fans are the best.

:rush: SHOW OF HANDS for about the past month. Just got tix for both Atlantic City and Baltimore, so will switch back to the CD I created consisting of all songs from Setlists A and B. :rush:

Thank you for the reply. Just got tix.

Hi, Due to some ass hat at work today, I missed the VIP PreSale for the Atlantic City show. If anyone has one for sale, please let me know. You can even keep the swag if you so desire. THANKS!!!!!

They did their 'A' Setlist in Philly, so I did not get to see Manhattan Project or 7 COG. But 6 days later, in Montreal, they performed their 'B' Setlist and I got to see/hear them both. The God of Balance was working on my side.

I have the :rush: 2112 AP Litho, # 7/50. Paid $310 for it 2 years ago. One of my better purchases.

I was fortunate. I sent my Grace Under Pressure album to Seattle and got it back 9 days later, signed by all 3. That was the cherry-on-top of an amazing 2012 :rush: year.

I purchased 7 VIP Packages between the Philly and Montreal shows, and thus ended up with 7 Tour Shirts, 7 Tour Books, 7 Posters, 7 Bags and 70 Picks. So I wondered ... what to do with them??? I peeked at ebay and saw multiple listings for the VIP swag at $80. each. Haven't done it yet but that can help recoup some of the $2175 I've spent only on tix so far. Add show merch and travel to Canada for a 4-day weekend and well,, here I am. Only for :rush: And am ready to do it again this spring and summer. :rush:

An earlier post indicated that Houston would forward mail to the band. ** I sent one LP cover to Seattle and got that back a week later, signed (and personalized) by all three. Seeing my success, my wife and daughter will both be sending merch to the Houston venue.
