  1. Let me dust of my copy of Clockwork Angels and listen to it again... I'm just kidding, I'll never listen to it again. Dislike- Does not = H8
  2. Has to be another Filipino kid running around the streets of Manilla.
  3. I'm not sure of any that are officially licensed, but you can have them custom made. Doesn't cost that much. You can design your own http://www.cafepress.com/+customize_your_own_custom_text_on_blue_license_pla,1326885680
  4. Whaaa? I live two hours away and make my own schedule. What should I do aboot this? 2 weeks hanging out in Tulsa? Sounds like the worst vacation ever!
  5. I think you do not do enough LSD John V to qualify. Neither do I
  6. The kid on the album cover is 40 years old. Now we all feel really old.
  7. Then I do not understand how TM resale can have 2472 tickets for resale and Stub Hub 2245 tickets for sale for the Tampa show THE DAY BEFORE the public sale. These were tickets with section, row and seat number - in some cases, you could find entire rows on the floor for resale (At ~3 to 10 times face) before the public sale ever happened. Yeah, it's not a majority of the tickets in a ~20k seat venue (~15k for end stage concert?) - but the preponderance of floor and lower bowl tickets availabe for resale before public sale and experience of fans largely getting offered crap upper bowl tickets during presale strongly suggests that ticket sales are not "random pulls" or that it's even "free market" ecomonics. I think many are not "whining" about face prices - it's the massively inflated prices that a rigged system has created. It's been rigged for 20 years running man. I got 10th row tickets for the Roll The Bones Tour back in 92 at $95 a ticket. Do you know what the face value was on those? 35 bucks. 170% premium. Seems cheap now...but 23 years ago that was a lot of money for a concert. A lot of these floor seats are VIP tickets at $400 face and people are asking for a 100% mark up on them. So the VIP system for the fans has now turned on us. The brokers and scalpers got whiff of it and since they did not do what they did the last two tours with will call pick-up (which should never have been taken away for VIP tickets) the blood sucking brokers pounced. Also season ticket holders have become more and more prevalent and brokers are the ones who become these so-called season ticket holders as a business investment. It sucks. But it is the reality. I am lucky I snagged great lower bowl seats for Tampa in the pre-sale and lucky I had a great connection for my floor Vegas tickets. Otherwise I would have been waiting till the week of the show to snag tickets from desperate sellers. You complain about the scalpers, but on the other hand admit to supporting them. What am I missing here? Who says I bought those Roll The Bones tickets from a broker? I bought them from a freaking Rush fan who I sat next too at the show. He capitalized. Last I looked that was allowed in our country. A person , not a broker, asked you to pay $95 for tickets in 1992? Not an even $100 or an even $90? $95... Such an odd amount, because we know people selling things are always looking to give people a $5 off break Hmm...$95...yeah, that's believable. :sarcastic:
  8. This show has gone off the rails in so many ways. I still watch, but it crawls every single week. Thank god Rick shaved that mess They just announced the season finale will be 90 minutes long...YAWN I guess we can all get in a 45 minute nap during that episode.
  9. I'm seriously thinking of disconnecting from all electrical sources for a day and see if Chuck is onto something.
  10. For a 5 hour show I require a cot and adult diapers. And a dedicated Beer Getter Person And a place to take a nap during anything from Caress of Steel or New World Man
  11. Weed smoke? Last time I smelled pot or smoked pot at a concert was in the 80's. Maybe an outside concert its possible and probable. But since smoking anything is not allowed, how does one even get to smoke at the show? I am asking. I would love to bring a joint. But I would not like being thrown out either. So, are people actually smoking inside at shows, I guess is my question. They were not at the last Rush concert here. Time Machine. They were in Ft. Lauderdale when we last saw Rush, My girlfriend asked me what that smell was? I said. :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :D I expect weed for the price of those tickets. Have smelled weed at concerts for 30 years, nothing changes.
  12. Nothing from Caress of Steel unless in a medley. After That Metal Show I believe the same can be said for Rush and FBN.... Except Working Man, will make it
  13. Seems like an odd transition. Just played both B2B It's possible. They flow pretty nicely together
  14. Can they legally still call themselves the 'Grateful Dead', I mean who is left alive?
  15. In Part 1 we find out Superman lands in some farmers field. Oh, wait, I may be getting confused :huh:
  16. 3 45 minute sets? So 2 15 minute breaks? Would never work. In general audiences take 15-20 minutes for drinks, pee. Band would not want to come back TWICE to a half filled arena
  17. No- Stick to what they have done. 2 sets, 1 encore
  18. If I want clicks and pops I'll pour milk on my Rice Krispies! Clicks and Pops has always been my favorite act from the 1940's.
  19. I love how this Caress of Steel thread just got steamrolled by Hemispheres Today was a good day
  20. Does this involve more books? If so, then I am out.
  21. How about that RUSH poster behind Saul and the fat guy??? Episode 4- Hero Assuming that was circa 1980 ish....wondering if that was a real poster at one time?
  22. Wait until Lorraine sees this thread. Countdown was track 8 , or Side 2, song 4 for a reason.
  23. Losing It by a very, very small % . I've said for R40 I want acoustic Geddy and Alex Different Strings, Losing It and Tears. Neil gets an extra 10 minute rest. I would be very happy with either LI or CTTC
