So, I can't tell. Was Working Man played sans guitar for the first bit at every show or were they still working out kinks and Geddy and Neil just worked around it?

Guess what? Still no guitar.

My favorite "moment" from a Rush song is still (and has been for quite some time) that drum fill Neil did in Xanadu that had previously just been a silent pause just before "a thousand years have come and gone..." which he filled in on the Different Stages recording with a very simple drum fill that still brings a smile to my face and forces me to air-drum it no matter what recording I'm listening to.

I, too, am interested in this. So let's see em!

I deleted iTunes from my comp ages ago because I hate the shit out of it. I was momentarily mortified! But then I found out someone had uploaded to YouTube. Woohoo!!! AWESOME tracks! Definitely loving Caravan more, at this point. That crazy drum bit....oh man! And the bit where everything cuts away for just a second and it's just geddy playing...I'm thinking a perfect spot for a mini-solo for him, ala Driven.

I know there's plenty of NE folks out there. I'll be keeping an eye out for those cars with the Starman graphics on them...need to find me some of those! Anyway, never been to the Garden. Is it intimate like Verizon Wireless in Manchester or less so, like Greatwoods? Another show like the Manchester ones I've been to (minus the technical difficulties of their last Manchester show) and that intimacy you feel even from the farther seats would be amazing! Seems like I only post here when there's a new album or tour...I think I just belong to too many message boards. Lastly, is the TRF community getting together before/after?

Saw DT at the end of last summer in Boston's Bank of America Pavilion. Wasn't too excited about the openers, but DT was amazing. That was my second time seeing them. They played a lot of their heavier stuff, which I liked because I was in a real mood to rock out that night! Then I saw them in May and I have to say I was disappointed. THREE opening acts, none of which were that great (Opeth changed from crazyscreamingdeathmetal to soft and slow at the drop of a hat in the middle of their songs...it was giving me motion sickness, like swiftly accelerating and then decelerating over and over in a car). Then DT came on. This was at the Orpheum in Boston, BTW...not a place for a metal or rock band to play. The acoustics are all wrong. Anyway, the set was ludicrously short, and the mixing and acoustics made everything distorted. Needless to say, my third experience with DT was not my favorite. And out of three shows they STILL haven't played Home for me!

Funny that Clint Eastwood flicks are being discussed right now...My personal favorite movie is Kelly's Heroes. http://www.philben.net/images/blog/KellysHeroes4.jpg

Apples to oranges.

Not sure how it would translate to the US. He's coming down later this year but can't really afford it this time OK-ish??? It's probably the most clever and funny sitcom on television! Though, it's actually my favorite after Spaced. Bill Bailey and Dylan Moran are my favorite standups. The hell wtih Eddie Izzard.

Well, as far as "chick flicks" go, I'd say the only one I'd watch twice is "Love, Actually" As for love movies in general, Casablanca and The Quiet Man aren't very "chick-flick" but they're certainly love stories. And I like them as well.

I know it's an oldie but it's also one of my very favorite movies of all time. I'll be popping Kelly's Heroes into the DVD player tonight!

The Matrix movies & LOTR? Your opinion but I would say that you are in a group of maybe a 100. And I loved Titantic.....Thought I would hate it but was pleasantly surprised. Matrix 1 was amazing. The other two were sub par to put it lightly

Anything Uwe Boll or Tim Burton directed. And Villiage of the Damned.
