I have been checking in to see specifically to see if you got something back

I agree with Xanadu, what a bummer man, it wasn't for lack of trying on your part, just bad luck I suspect, crossing fingers that LA is a miracle for you.

What a ride it's been is right.

 

The only drawback in those days was having to endure an opening band. I always hated that. Having to sit through listening to an unknown band doing songs no one ever heard before. The only one I ever saw that was any good was Golden Earring that opened for The Who during the Quadrophenia tour.

 

I have a feeling some people felt that way going to see KISS back in the day....who was that band that opened for them again........

too young to see them in the 70's, although I just complained to my older brothers(they are around the age of Geddy, Alex and Neil) for not taking me, My family wasn't much into concert going they told me, we were too poor and there were too many of us.

 

I was still too young for much of the 80's then I still had no money, by the time I was out on my own and able to afford to go, it was right when Neil's tragedies happened and they had stopped touring.

 

the VT tour was just a week or so after my sister had died, and I was still reeling from my Dad, nephew and brother dying as well, so I didn't go. I thought about it, and almost did(I wish this one time my husband would have pushed me to do something uncomfortable because I think that it would have helped me so much)

 

Finally finally after being a fan since 1975 I got to see them live in 2004 and every tour since then, some multiple times a tour, and it really will never be enough but happy to have seen the ones I did see.

I would see Alex and Geddy but it would not be Rush without Neil and yes I love some of the songs with Rutsey but it isn't the same...I mean the music might be great but it would not be Rush

I cried watching the group hug on periscope...and during Losing It

I don't know if I would have cried at the show..the energy usually carries me up for sure I would cry back in my room and the next morning

I cried just reading that

Lorraine, have you seen the youtube clip, it makes me tear up every time. Geddy's thanked the crew and the united states of america and said I truly hope to see you again sometime or something to that effect.

I agree with the fact that they saw a major financial killing and took advantage of it.

 

But...still...it would have been nice if the integrity of their music could have been preserved.

 

That's all I'm saying.

 

Ah Lorraine, but a wise man once said

 

"One likes to believe in the freedom of music

But glittering prizes and endless compromises

Shatter the illusion of integrity"

 

And so it goes

For Lorraine

 

My husband had heard of them, and knew some of their songs, enjoyed listening to them with me, but after he saw them live, wow, he is almost more of a fanatical fan than I am, lol

 

good thing too because there is not a big Rush following in my area, most people think of Rush Limbaugh if I mention Rush, none of my current friend listen to them

I can still see it

 

" retiring. Last night was last concert."

I'm pretty sure I saw a glowstick drummer on CA dvd

Ah twitter gets another one...to easy to say something you shouldn't. KJA you should take the tweet down at least

Love the guy on scope chat "my first Rush show I'm a fukking idiot"

 

I would agree lots of missed greatness

Bill again thanks so much for scoping through the end so we could watch it unfold live.

 

Neil coming up front....almost too much for me.

 

Been a fan since 1975 but too young for shows back then. First show was 2004 so glad I got to see as many as I did.

 

Road warrior thanks for the awesome picture of the group hug

Thank you!

 

Front row be damned.

 

I had similar view at one of the R40 shows. At the end of Cygnus light show, I thought I was going to soil myself. TMMB was insane lights also. A second R40 blu ray from THAT VIEW would be incredible! Nothing like Howard's work from over his shoulder.

 

Agreed but front row has its perks too

I am getting teary eyed again this morning. What a great run for these guys. I am surprised that Geddy was not aware Neil was come down.

 

Thanks Bill for scoping to the end so I could see it all unfold live.

Wow Jeff that is a bummer. You have really put in alot of effort here's hoping it pays off on number 5

So happy you got it back CTM what a great keepsake of this tour

Sorry Glenn

 

Lorraine if it was under 13oz I think it doesn't matter

Those who have signatures from past years, have they changed much, I only have recent ones.

Jeff really hoping you get something great back this time

wow I can't believe how lucky I was then, my package had a weird label on it I hadn't seen before, it looks like it was over 13oz and stamped(the post guy in my town would not pre-meter it) and I had my address as the to and return....I think it is awesome the venue is working with some of you to get your packages to you...really above and beyond on their part...nice to see good people in the world still.
