BB&B

Thank you so much Tapehead2 for recording this show and sharing it. :)

Win

Thanks sullysue, you made a wise decision in not being spoiled.

Here's hoping they don't drop anything from that encore :drool:

I just creamed myself

I really thought they were going to play AFTK

Thanks bathory. Take a picture if possible. ;)

Roger Craig responded with the correct question.

I've seen Rush and NIN featured on Jeopardy a few times this year.

I was watching Jeopardy and a few minutes ago, Rush was featured in a category featuring North American bands. I didn't take a picture fast enough. The answer displayed "Today's Tom Sawyer".

There's plenty of drums in Rush's catalog. Tom Sawyer doesn't do much for me compared to the rest of Moving Pictures. MP is a masterpiece. I like TS less than the rest of the MP. It's not like I skip TS when I hear it. I have to have a least favorite and favorite song on every album. I'm not the type of person who likes every song equally.

Tom Sawyer might be a classic but I like the other 6 songs on Moving Pictures a lot more. It has nothing to do with Tom Sawyer getting a lot of radio play. Limelight gets a lot of radio play too but I still like Limelight a lot more than Tom Sawyer.

Need Some Love (least favorite Rush song of all-time) Rivendell I Think I'm Going Bald Lessons Closer To The Heart The Trees The Spirit Of Radio Tom Sawyer (easiest choice) Countdown Red Lenses (hardest choice) Territories Turn The Page Superconductor Face Up Stick It Out Carve Away The Stone Out Of The Cradle We Hold On Carnies

I love the "Distant Satellites" cover art. I'm going to save money to buy the vinyl. I discovered Anathema (opening act) during Blackfield's Welcome To My DNA tour on May 19, 2011 at the TLA in Philadelphia. Anathema (Vincent and Danny Cavanagh) played an acoustic set, it was awesome.

BB&B was the first Rush song I remember hearing.

Where's Fly By Night?

Happy Birthday Alex Z.

QUOTE (Pagon @ Jan 19 2010, 12:54 PM) PT are not doing the same venues as they did last year. they are going to different cities this time around. saw them in philly last year and that venue sucked. worst place to see a band. you were only allowed to drink in a certain section of the venue. east coast venues suck in general. have always had a great time seeing them in LA. sound is much better there. the borgata in AC is nice. be great if they played there. I would see them in AC because they are definitely worth the 5 hour round-trip drive. I saw NIN at the HOB and it was very intimate. During PT's first leg show at Terminal 5 in NYC on 2009-09-24, I recall Steven Wilson saying that PT would come back to NYC in the spring. Can anyone confirm that? He might have only said that PT was coming back to the states in the spring. But I thought he was very happy with the NYC crowd and said he would be back in NYC.

I'm starting to get a little antsy about the rest of the US dates. I am hoping PT announces a NYC and Philly date soon. Tickets sold out on the first leg so I figure they will be coming back to the Northeast in May and/or June.

QUOTE (sullysue @ Jan 7 2010, 10:52 PM) The best part about the April 20th date is that my son, Patrick, turns 13 on the 24th. No better birthday gift than front row for PT. I'm numb right now. Great for the both of you. Just make sure you log on to the tickets page on Burning Shed when they first get released. http://www.burningshed.com/store/porcupine...collection/298/ I'm sure those pre-sale tickets will be sold out for the Dallas shows rather quickly. It's a nice luxury to be able to walk into the gig venue before the general public.

QUOTE (Rush Cocky @ Jan 6 2010, 12:45 PM) "Idiot Prayer".....I love this song!!! It's definitely my favorite passage from the Signify album. The first time I heard it, I felt like I was in a white cell with four padded walls.

ROABP e-mail: "Royal Albert Hall concert update ROABP would like to apologise for any confusion caused by the announcement of tickets for the Porcupine Tree concert at the Royal Albert Hall. The band's management were initially informed that the concert would be announced in January and that tickets would go on sale early in 2010 (between mid January- mid February). For reasons entirely beyond the band's control, this special concert was publicised much earlier than expected and ticket sales were subsequently scheduled to be sold from the 29th of December onwards. This meant that ROABP and the band were forced to announce the sale of their allocation of tickets much sooner than intended. In doing so it was discovered that the 'Arena' tickets were being sold as 'Seated' when the band had asked for them to be 'Standing'. It also meant that there was no time to work out VIP packages as originally had been planned. Consequently, the idea of a VIP package was dropped. While we attempt to clarify the situation, we have removed the remaining tickets from sale, though the Royal Albert Hall and other ticket agencies have continued to sell their share of tickets. If you joined the Residents of a Blank Planet service over the last few days in anticipation of a VIP package, please contact support@burningshed.com to ask for a refund. Apologies again for the confusion - we will update you as soon as we have more information."

QUOTE (sullysue @ Dec 24 2009, 10:06 AM)Yeah, I figured that one. But, I don't see any literary references. I've Googled the song titles trying to find some kind of hint, and all that comes up are the damn songs themselves. arg. Bret Easton Ellis wrote Lunar Park. PT used the book's themes extensively throughout FOABP. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Park By the way, Bret Easton Ellis also wrote "American Psycho". A movie was later made from his novel starring Christian Bale. I'm sure 1-0-0-1-0-0-1 knew that.

QUOTE (sullysue @ Dec 22 2009, 03:38 PM)Well, I'm not winning that contest. I don't recongnize any literary references. Knowing Wilson, I'm sure they're fairly obscure references. Or, I need to diversify my reading material, too. Without blowing your chances and giving answers away, has anyone found any? Just curious if I'm the only dimwit. Sullysue, One song on the "Stupid Dream" album is named after an Italian filmmaker. QUOTE (Steevo @ Dec 23 2009, 08:41 PM)If anyone's interested there's a small interview with Steve in the Jan '10 issue of Guitar Player, Tony Iommi on cover. Aye Thanks Steevo. I'm going to take a look.
