QUOTE (Oziumrules @ Dec 14 2010, 07:19 PM) QUOTE (Jaminbenb @ Dec 14 2010, 03:56 PM) I know I've posted this somewhere else, heck maybe even here somewhere, but the reason that ticket prices are so high is because of scalpers!!
Bands see what people are willing to pay to see them, and places like Ebay and Stub Hub allow scalping, so when the band sees that you are willing to pay $200+ for a ticket that was originally on sale for $85. you can't BLAME them for raising prices because people WILL pay that amount of money!
You can also add all of the handling charges for the tickets, and convenience taxes, and a tip for the person that has to lick the envelope etc. THEN when someone goes to SELL the ticket via a scalpers site, they cite the handling fees etc. as their reason for selling them so high!
I recently saw tickets for James Taylor at my local theater were going for $95. plus the usual fees. less than 24 hours after the show was sold out, Stub Hub had some on sale for $220. and up PER ticket! I've decided that I'm going to start buying twice as many tickets as I have in the past, and selling half of them on Stub Hub, so I can basically go to concerts for FREE!Plenty of "pee break" songs during a James Taylor concert.
he's got some good songs but i wouldn't pay to see him.

QUOTE (apetersvt @ Jul 22 2012, 06:04 PM) If I had to choose, I would say 6 songs from CA and the rest from 74-84. that's sounds good to me. sign me up for that show.

the title track alone is better than s & a as a whole.

QUOTE (rocketom @ Jul 22 2012, 08:51 AM) QUOTE (micgtr71 @ Jul 22 2012, 05:22 AM) The only tours that they did not play Limelight were GUP and Presto. I think that Tom Sawyer and YYZ are also shoe ins for the set. The 1st leg of Test 4 Echo they didnt play Limelight. They need to dump it along with Freewill.
they need to but they won't. they know we don't like change within the setlist.

what do these people do when they're on the stage and not being used? i guess they'll just dim the lights in that section where they'll be. this whole thing seems very odd.

Sure its not t shirt and jeans. Will they have a style of dress? Will it be tuxedos? Anybody have good ideas ??? I just kinda assumed in my mind they would wear black tuxedos.
But it's an excellent question. I like your idea with steampunk attire or red jumpsuits.
I know I'm setting myself up for a huge disappointment...but when I heard they were bringing a string section....I envisioned a violinist going up to center stage to jam with Alex during Losing It.
They probably won't even play that song. But it would be very cool if they did!
My gut feeling is that they will go some kind of steampunk garb for the CA set just to blend in with the theatrics on screen. It's funny I say that and the first thing that pops into my head is Terry Gilliam's art. Can't see them wearing tuxedos and evening gowns (if chicks are in the orchestra).
They will probably wear some type of boring black attire... but I like your ideas!
From what I read of Alex's interview in Guitar World, the orchestra is going to be on stage for the entire show.
i can't believe it. the entire show? this is not good.
Not a good thing...a fantastic change of pace. They are playing a lot of stuff they never played live...that's what I want
that's what i want also but only use the orchestra for the songs it was intended for, not side b tunes, classics, or anything else that might be bringing to the table.
Just because they are on stage doesn't mean the orchestra will be incorporated into every song.
I hope you're right
me too.
I'm sure that Rush will utilize the string section appropriately. Just like they have on Clockwork Angels.
You damn pussies...drop the "O" word. It's an 8 piece string section for 6 songs on the back side of the stage.
They either push the trigger or have actual strings play it as it was recorded.
You cry-baby old school "high school" "shopping mall" wanna-bes can sure rain on a parade.
so you know for a fact that they are going to use the string orchestra for 6 songs?

i think i got a handful of good stuff with the rest not so good. not pointing fingers but is it the producers job to make sure everything sounds good after the engineer is done with the mix? the producer knew there was something off when he heard it but is it too late to do anything?

QUOTE (Tombstone Mountain @ Jul 21 2012, 09:40 PM) QUOTE (ReflectedLight @ Jul 21 2012, 08:47 PM) this whole orchestra string section on stage with them makes me feel like it's less of a rock concert. should we dress more formally? will there be a maestro to tell us when to clap? Didn't you read Colbert??? His name is manfred belsorus.
huh

QUOTE (losingit2k @ Jul 21 2012, 07:39 PM) I was looking at that last set list and thought of something After Neils solo it would be cool if Alex did his solo over the String Section going into by BU2B2 and Wish Them Well.
but it would be so much better if they didn't play bu2b and wish them well and neil played his drum solo without the big band music and lose the electronic percussion.

QUOTE (The Vigilante @ Jul 21 2012, 11:10 AM) yea i saw that to with sting and cope... dont get me wrong copeland does .. did interesting stuff with some of those mundane tunes they had and Neil stated that copeland was doing interesting things .. this was a quote back in the 80s.. I wish copeland would extend the same respect.. i can believe he never listened to Rush..I dont believe it. i think he's heard rush but probably doesn't want to comment because he does like the music.

It's not synthy enough for the new wavers, it's not brickwalled enough for the I-Pod squad, it's not trendy enough for the alternative rockers, it's not proggy enough for the hipster pseudo proggers and because it has Rutsey and no Peart it's not arty farty enough for the snob rockers nor lyrically advanced enough for the Lyric tards...
I'm completely confused by the current results.
Really?

Bizarro TRF and up is really down, left right, black white, right?!?
Lack of Neil, is the only reason I can fathom, but even so...
treeduck's theory is the only one that makes any sense.
I'm completely confused by the current results. I do not understand.
? i'll take the lyrics in Take a Friend or In the Mood over I Think I'm Going Bald
i've lost a few more hairs......
i think i'm....i'm going bald......
I THINK I'M GOING BALD!!!!!!!
i'm not being sarcastic. i love that song.
