    Attending the Meet and Greet in Halifax, NS on July 14, 2013 and getting my picture taken with Alex and Geddy.
  1. The Spirit of Radio at Ottawa Bluesfest on July 11, 2010. I got to share the moment with my wife and about 30000 of our new friends. :)
  2. I have to pick this one mainly because I can find myself in the second row on the floor. :)
  3. I felt that they were even more on fire at the second Halifax show. There was a certain looseness, yet aggresiveness (especially with Alex) at that show. They really were firing on all cylinders on July 14th.
  4. Thanks! If only they would release some of their full concert recordings in lossless like Metallica does. I would gladly purchase soundboard recordings from the two Halifax shows.
  5. After the Halifax concert last Friday night, I would have to say my best seats were second row on the floor on Alex's side. http://jeamland.ca/~mike/IMG_0035_450.jpg http://jeamland.ca/~mike/IMG_0062_450.jpg http://jeamland.ca/~mike/IMG_0097_450.jpg http://jeamland.ca/~mike/IMG_0157_450.jpg
  6. My friend Tom (next to Alex) won the Meet and Greet passes through the Rush Backstage Club and suprised me with them a half an hour before we had to line up to meet them. How he kept it a secret I'll never know, but it was a wonderful surprise and capped off a great weekend of attending both concerts. However, the best part of the whole weekend was watching a 3D ultrasound of my unborn son with my wife on Monday morning. :) He's due at the start of September and is already a Rush fan.
  7. Thank you for sharing your photos. They are fantastic, but this picture from July 14th from another source is a personal favourite of mine. ;) http://jeamland.ca/~mike/Halifax-2-24-450.jpg
  8. I'm sorry to hear that you weren't successful with Hamilton. I just got back from the two Halifax shows and found this in my mail. Perhaps they had time only to sign some of the stuff that was sent? I really appreciate that they still take the time before some shows to do this. Thanks guys! http://jeamland.ca/~mike/IMG_0334_crop_500.jpg
  9. Congratulations! I'm glad it worked out for you.
  10. Hi folks, I now have three extra tickets in Lower Bowl Section 22, Row D, Seats 8-10 that are available for the Friday July 12th show in Halifax. They are Will Call, so I will have to pick them up on the day of the concert and give them to you. I had to pay service fees for them (through Music Today), but I will not pass those costs on to the buyer. I am looking for face value for the tickets and all three are available together for $397.50. Please contact me if you are interested. The concert seating setup for the Metro Centre can be seen here: http://www.halifaxme...ncert Setup.pdf Mike
  11. I'm glad to read of the wonderful concert experiences you folks have had. I remember my first Rush concert at Bluesfest in Ottawa in 2010. I had a permanent smile on my face for hours afterwards. When the first notes of 2112 were played I totally started to geek out. My wife took a great picture of them during the song. I don't think I could have stayed steady long enough to get a good one. :)
  12. I sincerely hope that they reschedule the concert for you folks who were planning to attend.
  13. Yep, they work wonders! I'll never go to a concert again - indoor or outdoor - without them. I agree with both of you. I use the exact same earplugs and have ever since I saw Soundgarden in Toronto two years ago. That show was ridiculously loud (from what I read afterwards), but my hearing was fine. I also have tinnitus in one ear, so it's a must for me at this stage of life (my 40s).
  14. I've got tickets for a low row in the lower bowl for Halifax, but I'm hoping to possibly upgrade. If I do, I'm not sure what I can do at this late a date with the other tickets.
  15. I've tried for Hamilton as well. Hopefully we'll both be successful. Thanks everyone for the information on how (and to whom) to send the item we'd like signed.
