Rush a Farewell to Kings Genesis Cinema Show Moody Blues Questions Status Quo Down Down ZZ Top La Grange Queen The March of the Black Queen

I have mixed feelings over this. It would have been nice to give us Europeans a propper goodbye. Maybe we even deserved it. We stucked with them through the years and even after their 12 year hiatus we gave them a warm welcome back in 2004 with many sold out shows around Europe. The NA-fans must have a blast experiencing the R40-tour. Seeing the tour on YouTube became a daily job for me, but at the same time made me sad when it became clear that there wasn't gonna be a European leg (I could't afford to go over the pond). It would have been a nice closure for all of us. If the band decides that this is the end of the road, so be it. I don't think dat we can't blame anyone for this. They are in their sixties and if one of them is done touring we'll have to accept it. No hard feelings from me here. But being a diehard fan since 1977 I would have enjoyed the R40 show so much...

Salty Dog by Procol Harum. Monumental song.

Queen 1974-1980 Status Quo 1972-1980 Moody Blues 1967-1975 (thanks Lorraine) Depeche Mode Van Halen (not the Sammy-era) The Cult ZZ Top Yes

Hmm, this a tough one. So many good songs. Here we go : 1. The Sentinel 2. Judas Rising 3. Genocide 4. Another Thing Comin' 5. Hell bent for leather "Hell bent" is my favorite Priest-song. Very surprised that it's nowhere to be found in this thread !!

Iron Maiden opening for Kiss October 1980. The Cult opening for Aerosmith somewhere in 1987. Pat Travers opening for Journey april 1979.

My three favorite Queen tracks are : The Prophets song All dead all dead (Brian wrote this for his cat who died a few weeks before thet started working on News of the World) Long away

Different Strings Madrigal Here again Cut to the Chase The Weapon Workin them Angels In the End Carve away the Stone Totem Countdown

For me 50/50. I really like the rawness of Summertime Blues and For What it's Worth. But Shapes & Things and Crossroads hmmm....not so much. Crossroads as an encore during the 30th Anniversary Tour was really a partypooper.

Geen...ik weet gewoon je taal enigszins. :) Welkom bij de Rush Forum! Leuk !! en thankx !

Yes - Going for the One

Wow, what a list. I'm not familiar with the distances between those cities, but I'll guess you've travelled a lot to see these gigs ! Apart from the California shows the rest are within 6 hours drive. Permanent Waves was during Spring break, but I did skip out on quite a bit of school. Oh ok. Holland is a small country so travelling to the gigs is real easy. Rush played the Ahoy in Rotterdam several times and thats 30 minutes by car for me. During the CA-tour they played the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam, thats an hour drive and for the Pinkpop show I travelled three hours by train.

Wow, what a list. I'm not familiar with the distances between those cities, but I'll guess you've travelled a lot to see these gigs ! It's a range of about 2500 km, from those places in Canada down to San Diego. Hoi, Patrick! Hoe gaat het, m'n vriend? Ja goed !! Ook van de Lage landen ?
