QUOTE (An Enemy Without @ Jul 22 2011, 02:59 AM) OP: Did Rush do drugs? 1st post: Yes, but not anymore. End of story. Well, I for one don't belive this ! I did drugs with'in 5 minutes of getting up this morning, most people by Noon have "done Drugs" I just drove into the grocery store yesterday & the word " Food & DRUG " was 30 feet high in neon on the side of the store, So I went in & asked for some "Drugs", they pointed me where to go, Boy, lot of "Drugs" right on the shelves. Just my pet peeve Should say instead . . . . "Did Rush Do Any Illegal Drugs" Then we could talk about who decide's what is legal vs illegal.

Neither of us won because my friend got his toe caught on a stair and fell down. He recovered in time as to not get hurt, but we decided it was stupid after that. Me & my younger brother did this lots, Years ago About 25 years ago, I had to go to a shopping mall, early before store's opened, to fix a cash register. There was about 20 people going up the down escalator, All basically stationary, using it like a stair climber . . . . for 20 !! I will walk down an escalator most times, rarely up, unless I'm in a hurry. ?? . . . . I wonder if those who need walk up escalators because they can't stand still, Walk in circle's while in an empty elevator ??

QUOTE (01GT Eibach @ Jul 5 2011, 07:48 PM)Living in Pittsburgh, PA, I saw Rush twice on this tour (Pitt & Cleveland). But I ended up getting a work promotion that moved me to Scottsdale, AZ in May. Best of all, this allowed me to catch Rush for a THIRD time by catching the Phoenix show. Here is my overview ... 1) Ridiculously hot -- Does this venue typically have AC issues?? And $7 for a soda for the final temperate insult. 2) Geddy clearly said that Clockwork Angels "hoped to be out by the end of the year". 3) Geddy's voice was the most strained in the Phoenix gig compared to Pittsburgh and Cleveland shows I saw earlier. The Cleveland show was (easily) the best of the three shows, with Geddy's voice the tightest and overall higher energy performance by the band. No surprise there as it was the DVD filming. 4) Phoenix was also the most expensive. Because I got tickets so late I had to use a ticket service. I paid $240 (for a pair) including all fees, but tickets were excellent -- lower bowl right next to Geddy. Last I checked, that is why I go to work ... to earn money to buy Rush tickets. 5) Overall ... they were awesome. It was my boys. 1. Hot indeed ! Been going here alot, but mostly for Ice Hockey, but have seen about 30 concerts & NEVER remember it being Hot like June 16th. Don't all venue's have 7.oo soda & 11.oo beer & 5.oo for ONE pretzel :pretzel: 4. I thought Phx was reasonable, last time in Phx same basic level was 20 bucks higher Also this year, Phoenix 2nd row lower bowl @ ( 85.00 ) was 1/2 price of Vegas, last row "x" lower bowl @ ( 161.00 ) Phoenix I bought from TM/Live nation direct, day of release by PC @ 85.oo Vegas I bought 1 hour before show for 40.00 from a canadian who almost saw Rush in 1982, but was his 1st & his buddy backed out last minute (161.oo face) Forever ! .

I have, my hot girlfriend did, her hot girlfriend did, they did together, but mostly separate, my brother did, lots of people I knew did. Picked up about the same amount I hitched, probably a dozen times Did is the word !....Last time I can remember would be 1981, here in Phoenix I don't think I have seen a Hitchhiker in 20+ years

Funny Stuff Indeed ! ! ! Is becoming mainstream ?? OMG !

QUOTE (RCMalamutes @ Jun 23 2011, 08:40 PM)So this tour... JUNE 16th in Phoenix was my first time seeing RUSH... and I got to see them with my wife and my 11 year old son (his first concert ever). I was TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY. I have seen a lot of concerts in my life, a lot.... but this was hands down in the top three.... if not NUMBER ONE. I was at the Phoenix show . . . . . ( vegas too . . ) Excellent ! ! People who like music, rock music especially & have never seen Rush have to be "Blown Away" Glad you were too ! These 2 part 3+ hour shows they have been doing for 16 years (since 95 TFE) are the BEST ! ! I don't know how many fans I talked to before the show, both Phx & Vegas who didn't know about the NO opening act, ALL Rush format, this inparticular has got me off my ass & to various other city's to see the spectacular show they produce now-a-days !

I have a High Percentage . . . 95% Zeppelin is High too . . . . . 92% Pink Floyd drop's alot . . . . 50% Those are my top 3 bands, Big difference in those 3, Rush is still Producing music

QUOTE (King Whompus @ Jun 21 2011, 12:15 PM) Bret Micheals I'm big on the 80's & seen everybody it seem's, I would never be seen dead at a Posion concert back then ! But . . . . Just recently Posion was on a triple bill with Cheap trick & Def Leppard. My girl wanted to go, like's Def Leppard alot, I was talking her out of it for above mentioned reasons, But more & more of some of my best friends were wanting to go, So I finally did see Posion & Bret Micheals. Over all 1 of the Best concerts I have ever been to, MOSTLY because So many of my closest friends there & we all were able to hang out together. They had alot of fun jabbing me when Posion was on stage & during Posion My girl's, best freind, did actually So Poetic ! ! !

QUOTE (greyfriar @ Jun 20 2011, 08:50 AM)Rush (26 and counting-see below) . . . . Judas Priest (3) Saxon (2) That's all I can remember at the moment. I'm thinking I might have seen Saxon. Do you think they opened for Judas Priest in the 80's ?????? I never missed Priest in the 80's

San Diego . . . . . AHHH Memories of the 1995 TFE tour, I road tripped to SanDiego & Then followed them to Vegas ! QUOTE (LeaveMyThingAlone @ Jun 19 2011, 04:32 PM) Older crowd than usual, as I'm in my late 30's and wife and I felt we were definitely on the young side. The last few times I've seen them in Irvine and Las Vegas and it's a younger crowd there , I actually noticed that @ the Phoenix show too.... Even more so when my Life long buddy "Brian" showed up @ my house. driven thier by his grown son, who promptly told me that it was odd, the reversal role, Instead of Dad driving his kid to the rock concert, kid driving dad to the concert, So true. Also, Brian, who I haven't seen in person in over 2 years, probably due to distance & now we both have 2nd jobs, But, I was in shock, he still has most his hair, but it's gray, OMG I couldn't belive it ! He's 46, I'm 49, he look's much older than me at the moment. At the show, before the show, at the gathering hole, I couldn't help but notice the majority of men with thinning hair or gray like my buddy, who was blending in nicely.

Can't give all tour details, but if I had time & went through my Concert scrap book of 100's & 100's concert stubs I could tell you most details on the shows/venue's & who was with me that particular show.

QUOTE (FountainOfSyrinx @ Jun 18 2011, 05:21 PM) I was next to a dude that lived in Dallas and really loved the band. And we talked throughout the show. He was pretty awesome. And I was next to a girl for half the show, and for a girl that looked my age, she was as big a fan as anyone, and she was pretty cool also! So I got to meet two great Rush fans! Excellent !! Meeting new people at concerts is a blast, RUSH fans inparticular, even better ! ! The shows are spectacular in themselves, but the crowds & energy from the Rush fans is electric.

Yea, the "headline" got me 2 !! But, all other Vendors got permits Their stand was making Hundreds & Hundreds of dollars, not @ 5 or 10 cents a glass I'm sure. The parent's missed the perfect opportunity to teach their kids about legal commerce Hence, why they got fined & how to legally go about running a "legal" Business next time. I don't have much problem the fine after reading the "facts" involved

OK, since they didn't respond I will for them. QUOTE (marshy64 @ Jun 16 2011, 04:08 PM) "go away you complaining little git" Feel better now . . . . . QUOTE (marshy64 @ Jun 16 2011, 04:08 PM) 3 weeks have passed since my mauling on here over my comments about the O2 sound, ticket prices, allocation etc. BTW Sound issue is Venue related, go Sue them ! I'm sure the Rush Sound engineers did ALL the could, they are Pro's ya know ! Ticket price's are Fair Current Market Range, Go Sue Yourself ! I'm sure if it was up to Rush, Geddy-Alex-Neil, they would like to play to us for gas money ! Allocation ? ( you talking ticket avalibilty & Scalpers/Broker/agency's ? ) Your too late, class action lawsuits have begun years ago, been stalling & loosing those..... You can allways start your own Class Action Lawsuit ( SUE, Sue Now ! )

Joe and his buddies were discussing their favorite positions for love-making. All the stories were pretty common until it came time for Joe to reveal his favorite position. "I personally like the Rodeo way." His friends had never heard that term and wanted a better description. Joe explained, "See, I get the old lady down on all fours and mount her from the rear. Then, I reach down and grab her boobs and give 'em a squeeze or two." Next, I say "Boy, these feel just like your sister's...and then I try to hold on for 8 seconds."

My favorite words out of Letterman's mouth, "...Neil Peart, who's is curently on tour with His Band RUSH " & Yes I kinda agree that he could have just gave a Rock Drummer performance. Still Awesome !! QUOTE (rushgoober @ Jun 13 2011, 05:09 PM) Sometimes I'll watch clips of interviews from these shows, but staying up till 12, 1 or 2 every night like I did in my teens and 20's? Yeah, not gonna happen. Been using VCR's & Now DVR to watch everything for last 15/20 years I don't watch fill, comercials & can FF & Rewatch anything But I do still channel surf some . . . . . But when I catch something I like I press REC & watch it uninterupted later.!

Frampton is great ! Live, even better ! I want to go see him down in Tucson, but unsure I can make it happen. Wish he would just come back to Phoenix, It's been like 7 years since he's played here.
