What was the attendance for this show?

I noticed that massive amount of unsold tickets too. Nashville was so poor they had to move the stage up to center court. What's going on out there?!?

How big was the crowd?

boom bought tickets last night! its gonna be a long day but totally worth it

 

What site did you buy from, and what section?

The blonde that Tanacious T has with Buckethead, is the one I'm referring to.

I prefer Jan Hammer...

 

Who is the blonde in this picture?

CNN and gold standard for accuracy in journalism? :laughing guy:

 

+1

 

 

+2...If you guy's bash Fox News, it's because you fear the TRUTH of light being shown on Obama. CNN and MSLSD are nothing but cheerleaders for Obama, and an extension of the white house. They hide things like Benghazi from the sheep...and you hate on Fox for reporting it. But, what do I know....I'm from Texas.

I agree, while it was a large crowd, is was quiet. I love Clockwork Angels....but, I was watching the crowd, and the hour of new stuff drained the energy.

The brokers are dropping the ticket prices, check out this site. The tickets in section 34 (where I got mine) were 40 or 50 bux higher a week ago! Also, the arena just opened up section 33 beside the stage.

EXCELLENT once again! Thanks so much for these ... blurred or not, they are killer pictures from back in the day. I was at the Hemispheres show in Ottawa, Ontario on December 21, '78 (or was it '79?) and let me tell you - it was out of this world. This tour was back in the days when Geddy would be playing a double-neck Rickenbacker, keyboards, Taurus pedals and singing - ALL AT THE SAME EFFING TIME. Astonishing talent for a 25 year old.

 

If you saw 'em in December, it must have been in '78. I caught the Hemispheres show in Austin in Feb. of '79.

 

And yes, the tour was nothing short of amazing.

 

I was at that Austin show too....and the one in Dallas.

Rush has always drawn well in Texas, just look at the crowds from the first leg in Dallas, San Antonio and Houston.

You can always get agreat deal in the parking lot.....got to be patient though.

I'm NOT very good with computers, but I go on the Google checked Ticket Hub today and that site said there were only 500 plus seats left for the Austin show. But, does that mean that THEY only have 500 seats left to sell, or the entire venue has 500 seats left in total?

 

Not sure, but if you click onto section 34 (where my seats are) there are still 69 tickets available! That's a bunch, for a show that's a little over two weeks away. You can click onto each section and see how many seats are left. The arena still has quite a few face value tickets left in the upper bowl. These brokers will be making deals on show day! ha ha!

I can't remember which broker it was, I just googled Rush in Austin. For example, you can click on the interactive seating chart for section 34, and there are still 65 seats left. And it's similar for many sections.

Wonder which set list we get? I saw set list A in Dallas. Doesn't look like this show has sold as well, as the one they did in Austin last time. Ticket brokers still have tons of seats left, and have now started discounting them. I think if they ran a few ads in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Waco etc... it might help sell a few more.

In Dallas, Alex hit a big clunker after the drum solo in Where's my Thing, I would guess we'll get the Phoenix version.

Tour dates to be announced soon after this leg is over, which is tomorrow night.

 

 

Based on what source?

Anyone have any good info on a U.S. second leg happening?

I saw Jacobs Ladder on the PW tour, it didn't get a huge response then...what makes you people think it would now. While I love Losing It, this would not go over well live. You people are as nuts, as well as the ones that think they would ever play The Necromancer and the Fountain of Lamneth.

I've seen them 42 times since the 2112 tour, so I like the set list. But, the casual fan will NOT like this tour. The lack of radio hits is totally shocking.

The first show on the "Vapour Trails" tour was in Hartford, Connecticut. Ged and I walked over to the drum kit and leaned in, past Neil's hardware, looked at Neil and we smiled at each other and we all shared this moment when we couldn't believe that we were here again after that long, dark journey. It connected us in such a powerful way. We were all teary at that point. That was a pretty momentous moment. I can still picture it to this day." Awesome. I was at that show and you could tell it was an emotional moment whan they came out. I think it was emotional for all fans. I made the trip from Dallas, I will never forget that night. Very emotional for everyone there.

QUOTE (pony2112 @ Jul 9 2012, 06:43 PM) Thanks BigBob! Can't believe some of those earlier albums haven't gone Platinum yet. I was hoping to get a more exact number per album....There was someone that had that info at one time, that posted on here. If you were around in the eighties trying to find RUSH and FLY and Steel was a freaking nightmare,When I went to Nashville ,Memphis I found them on cassette in a $3 bin in a Gas Station When I had the first three I was a true RUSH fan in Grade 10.....CD was another story of a pain in the ass to find them....... I was very lucky, starting with the 1st album, got each one as they were released. I used to listen to the San Antonio station KMAC/KISS everyday. Rush thanks that station on the liner notes in ATWAS. Thanks to everyone for the info!

Does anyone know of a site, that shows current sales of all of their albums?
