Snaked

Once again, L.A. is the last show.

There is no caveat.

Has Rush ever explained where the 2112 number came from?

 

In my biblical readings, I noticed that there's a bible verse that seems relevant to both the number (21:12) and the fact that Rush is a band:

 

Job 21:12

¹² They sing to the music of timbrel and lyre;

they make merry to the sound of the pipe.

 

Also in 2112 Geddy sings "the meek shall inherit the earth" which is also from the bible.

 

That being said, I didn't think Neil was very religious...

 

Holy f**k. It's a play on 1812 Overture and a date in the future...

 

I thought Rush fans were supposed to be intelligent.

 

You've spent time in SOCN - you *know* that isn't true!

I saw the MP tour already.. great!

I'll take this one.

You can't always get what you want

But if you try sometimes you find.... you get what you need.

I didn't notice many mistakes TBH... I did however notice that he was in far better shape tonight than he was in St. Louis which was probably the worst I've ever heard him.

I've seen some pretty bad trainwrecks.. but STL was bad from end to end for the most part.

Alex was on fire tonight.

Not sure what the complaints are about... I haven't been following this convo too closely.

15 MINUTES TILL SHOWTIME!!

Quick!!!

Everybody hit the restroom, grab a fresh drink and if you're so inclined, have a smoke!

Perisope appetizer anyone?

Haven't seen any tests pop up yet... still hunting though.

I have Pizza Hut and ice cream cake at my disposal for tonight's gig. This is terrible...

What's your address?

I hope you picked up enough for all of us ;)

That Rock Band thing is almost better than this.... (Opening night of the C.A. tour in Manchester N.H.)

I just checked in to see if they play "I Think I'm Going Bald".

 

Rumor has it that they are saving it for their last song. Not sure which show though. ;)

Problem with that theory is...

Last song of the last show, which would be L.A.... and we all know that nobody in L.A. is going bald... so nobody would get it.

Ya know what?

That sounds like a perfect convo for a PM.

The rest of us are saving our popcorn for the show tonight.

Snaked, what you doing here? Why aren't you at the show?

cause you d'int buy me an airplane ticket to Austin and front row ticket for the show :(

Well, tonight we expect set B, right?

 

We're expecting them to play songs.

About 25 or 26 of them...

 

.. and who knows... maybe a lil surprise.

 

Always full of detailed info, snaked. :)

I'm certainly full of *something* (which can't be uttered in this forum).

zOMG!!!

gNO wAI!!!!!

Neil's ailments are no real news TBH.

He's mentioned dealing/living with these things in the past... he just never made a big deal out of them.

Something else is up.....

/puts on my tin-foil RUSH hat

'72 Jazz

'There can be only #1'

He has played at least 4 different jazz bases. 2 Tbirds. 3 Rickeys. A P. Something that looks like a Les Paul but isn't... And there are more that I can't think of

 

The Les Paul looking bass is a Zemaitis.

Kind of a niche bass if there ever was one.

Yeah. That thing.

More than one person heard it.

I guess it must be a conspiracy
