QUOTE (Netboy @ Jul 25 2010, 04:19 AM) Got back from the show and it was great, as usual. But, I've noticed for the past two tours the sound has progressively gotten muddled by extreme bass, and something else I cannot put my finger on yet. Alex's guitar and Geddy's voice struggle to make it past the barrage of noise. Only during Alex's solos can you hear detail. Now, I know what everyone will say: "Doh! it is a concert" But when I heard them at Radio City on the R30th tour, and during the S&A tour at JB, it was near perfect. I don't know maybe it's just me. I wish they would play at Radio City again. Btw, what is with the $6.50 bottle of water!? Did it come with a pair of sticks, or a foot rub? The sound at Jones Beach is never good. It's muddy and undefined, and the wind coming off the water has a lot to do with that. It's a nice venue but it's a bad place to go see a loud rock concert. It's why I refuse to see any of my favorite bands there unless I can get floor seats close to the stage, which I never do because the scalpers always get those seats first and I can't afford scalper's prices. Of course, the boys will continue to play there every tour because it's a 14,000 seat arena and they sell it out every time.

Nice!

The immaturity level has risen to flooding heights on this board and if something isn't done or people don't grow up then I think I'm going to leave this wonderful site I consider my 'internet home'. Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! You know, when I first saw this thread yesterday in the midst of us dealing with those two soon-to-be-banned helmets, I didn't read that OP. Tigershark, I have to admit...traeplien has a point there. Complaining about those two trolls is one thing, but that post was a bit much. Just sayin'...

The real story behind the JFK assassination was revealed, a recipe for making plutonium out of household waste was posted, and there are pics of naked boobies. Might be worth checking out.

I've got it!! Mods and/or Admins...I'd like to formally request that we make this my member title, since I don't have one yet. Emotion-Guy I'd love it. 1001...all jokes aside, I wouldn't mind this member title, if I can have it! Sure, why not.

Between the two threads here and the newest religion currently taking center stage in SOCN, it's a busy day to be an administrator. I haven't even wandered into SOCN today.

QUOTE (Phallic's Lifeson @ Jul 22 2010, 04:48 PM) QUOTE (BIAS2112 @ Jul 22 2010, 03:46 PM) The guy (phallics) sounds like an old metal rocker fan (zepplin style) who got in at the very beginning and as soon as a synth was introduced, he quit. Maybe he wants time machine like "The only good music Rush put out was before they got signed" type of time machine. Sounds more like an OLD Machine to me :-) Marathon was the biggest treat for me as well as Presto and TSS. Presto is an amazing album IMO. I guess this guy didn't read my previous post where I predicted responses such as this. Originality? So, do you actually think you're being funny/clever/smart/superior with these posts of yours? Seriously, do you?

Agree - this thread has WAY exceeded the acceptable limits for pictures of actual shit logs. Also agree. Druid13, I appreciate the point you're trying to make, but please cut the shit (pun intended). No more pics of shit, please.

QUOTE (Paulio91184 @ Jul 22 2010, 04:30 PM) Start banning people for bashing setlists and bashing the band and all of this bullshit nonsense will stop....this forum is for us all to discuss our common love for the same band in a friendly and respectful manner. If you saw the setlist and don't like it, tough shit, don't go to the concert and save those seats for people like me and the hundreds of other people on here who would buy the worst seat in the house if necessary just to get a chance to see them live one more time. Well, we can't do that. This forum is for expressing your opinions about everything Rush, and that includes criticism. But all we ask is that any criticism be constructive and respectful. That's not much of a restriction, if at all -- any mature person should be able to do that without even thinking about it. And that includes being respectful to other posters here. Again, not a difficult concept to a mature person. But we seem to have a few new members here that are incapable of doing that.
