QUOTE (Presto-digitation @ Jul 6 2010, 07:55 AM)I'm all for singing at shows. If you can hear your seat neighbor, the band isn't playing loud enough. Simple.. In this You-Tube clip of TCE, the crowd was detracting from the song in those paticular low volume passage's. I'm pretty much with Presto-, if the show is loud enough it's no problem. I'm just glad doesn't encourage the crowd to sing their songs for them like most groups do.

He should get a medal for that one. I read his reveiw moments after he posted in the early AM. I was to sleepy to respond then, & now it looks like 1/2 of the post are in responce to Gemini, 2 bad 4 sure ! ! Like others I thought it was brutally honest, EXACTLY what I want ! Great Job ! I 2 am disappointed RUSH didn't take the chance here to dig deeper, But I like some of the choice's alot. I could do with out some of the standards, but I understand. I would still like RUSH it if they played the first set & Then Said, my fingers hurt I can't play anymore Said, Good, I have better things to do.....see ya Said, I am Geddy Lee I will sing what ever I want to sing See Ya all in VEGAS Baby ! ! !

QUOTE (PhoenixMike @ Jun 29 2010, 02:04 AM) Hi GOTRUSH! Nice to meet another fan here in Phoenix.. My stomping grounds is around Ray Road and the I-10. We may have to meet up sometime and talk about the "good old days"! That's awesome you had the first 2 tickets for Reno! Did you have to camp out for the great tickets? I remember back in the late 70's spending the whole night in line at the box office to get good seats for concerts. Mike Only went an hour before tickets went on sale in Reno, those days tickets were only sold at the venue & I was 1st at the window & bought the 1st 8 tickets. My younger brother & our new Reno freinds all went. I got a good job offer back in AZ, Flagstaff & they wanted me right away to start, I told them I had to wait for the Rush concert some 3 weeks away. The job waited & me & my brother moved to Flagstaff the day after the Reno Rush show !! I allways was the one to "camp" out for tickets & loved it, Hundreds of shows I did this for until it became ineffective. Hanging out with all the other die hard fans was a blast. We surely will meet up at some point, but until then If you see this car . . . . . http://i994.photobucket.com/albums/af62/GotRush/Soultinta.jpg . Then you just saw me . . . . . BTW the plate say's GOTRUSH

QUOTE (PhoenixMike @ Jun 28 2010, 10:03 PM)I haven't followed Rush too much the last few years, but watching the new documentary the other night on VH1 ignited something in me. I feel like a new fan all over again! I so wish they were playing in Arizona this tour.. I guess I'll just have to buy the DVD tommarow and watch it over and over! It will also be a blast to hear about your concert stories on this site! Mike Welcome to TRF From GOTRUSH in Phoenix....... Great to have you on board ! I saw the 1979 show here in Phoenix @ Veterans Memorial. I saw the 1980 tour when I was up in Reno, Nevada ( had tickets # 00001 & 00002 ) Those are great Pic's, very fitting for the "time machine" Heading up to Vegas for the Aug 14th Show My stomping ground here in Phoenix is Central & Indian School, where do you stomp ? And Yes ( ) this group is destined to be Huge !

W T G - Nice Shots = Famous ! !

I have been using ear protection for 20 years ( 10 years Too Late ) I have permant damage already. Some body is allways ringing the door bell in my head 24/7 - 365 days for last 25 yrs. It's is funny when people think your a "wimp" for wearing plugs, But for me now, If needed, I DO ! I guess most people think it detracts the sound, But in my experiance with ear protection is it HELPS the sound.

I want Screen's , Big , HD Style I want Smoke I want Fire I want Lights & Lasers

QUOTE (Todem @ May 25 2010, 09:51 AM)Ummmm talking about Rush here.....and on that note...Aerosmith puts on one hell of a live show...all energy and they also jam their ass's off be it not 3 hours....I believe you make as much as you can while the getting is good...who the hell are we to judge anyone in America on what they make...free country bro. We all try to earn what we can. At least I know I work my ass off and try to make as much as I can as well in an honest manner. And there is nothing more honest than playing great music for your fans....it does not get any more honest than that. Whether someone thinks a band has sucked since 1980 or not...it is quite obvious if Aerosmith can command a 1MM payday...they are doing something right. I don't think RUSH is going to do there typical 3 hour show @ the State Fair Gig..... Just cause Aerosmith can & get 1m for similar show doesn't mean they are doing anything right, just means they have kissed tons of ass to get universaly popular, they learned this trick during the late 80's & mtv era. ??? How much are tickets for this show ??? ??? Here @ the state fair it's $ 12 .00 dollars & you get GA into the venue They have about 1/3 reserved for like 20.00 extra But RUSH isn't playing the Fair here . . . . .

Pre Concert Set lists ROCK ! This is one of the Many Many Reason it's good to Know in Advance . . . . QUOTE (Tortoise and Hare @ May 21 2010, 04:22 PM) Have to have the setlist!!!!! I'm much tooooo nosey!!! Plus, the element of surprised hysteria oft times causes me to miss half of an unexpected song! Hare The reasons to know in advance far out weigh the "Suprise" And for what ever reason I'm still "Suprised !" even when I know I will look & discuss the set list before I go I will make a cool list to bring to the show I might make a CD to play in advance of the Vegas Rock Road Trip

QUOTE (CygXanTor @ Apr 11 2010, 04:05 PM)QUOTE (presto123 @ Apr 11 2010, 03:22 PM) I think they have made an Indy stop on every tour they have ever done. And Indy always gets great crowds. And I'm pretty sure there are holes in their schedule around the St. Louis date and Verizon center here also has a lot of holes I believe. Are they adding any more dates this summer? You are correct on both counts. Rush has never skipped Indy, in fact they've occasionally come around twice in the same tour, (S&A wasn't the first time) and they always draw a great crowd. What's going on this time, and will an Indy date (or 2) be added? Wish I knew. I hope so... Well let's include PHOENIX ARIZONA Phx has never been passed over before......

THAT'S ME - Constant BUZZ/RING 24/7 Total Silence is now my enemy, I have to have some music on to "Cover" the ring All to blame on ROCK CONCERTS & me..... Now I take ear plugs to every concert for the last 20 years ( have seen 1000's of ROCK Concerts ) Don't allways need them, But when need they work Great ! If your ears "RING" after a concert, Auto Race, Gun Shooting, ECT YOU HAVE IRREVERSABLY DAMAGED YOUR EAR DRUMS

QUOTE (theguyincygnusx1 @ Apr 8 2010, 09:41 PM)When does the setlist usually come out for a tour? This Tour Expect a Complete Set List on June 29th 2010 about 11pm

My Guess Would Be MP in order, finishing the 1st set . .

QUOTE (Prince of Tyrus @ Apr 8 2010, 05:58 PM) Tour dates announced today and scalpers are already selling tickets: More than likely these are the Season Tickets that the resellers own @ particular venue's. So they know they will have those particular ones But soon they will get the rest of the premium seats also........ And leave the real fans to pick from the crappy nose blead seats. Why Scalping (ticket resellers) isn't Illegal is beyond me ! ! ! !

QUOTE (PariahDog @ Apr 8 2010, 05:51 PM)QUOTE (Score Out @ Apr 8 2010, 05:44 PM) There are a lot of large cities and usual stops that aren't being hit in 2010 (Phoenix, Charlotte, Indianapolis, Portland, Vancouver etc) so they'll draw in those places b/c it will be their first show. Argh, I've been hoping they might add a Phoenix date for 2010. I guess I'll be making the trip to CA or NV or maybe even NM. If they don't come to Phoenix Las Vegas Road Trip is in order ( Saturday Aug 14th ) Already RO requested off work for Friday / Sat / Sun @ Both of my Job's
