A town car takes them right through the back gates to the back door and it's as simple as that. If you want to catch a glimpse at the gate through tinted windows then please do. Really? So, when they tour the west coast do they really fly back to Toronto on their day off then fly back west again the next day? Wouldn't all that flying and the time change tire them out too much? I said MOST shows.........West Coast, the south, and over-seas being the exceptions.

Nada...Nothing.....Enjoy the here and now! Once again Hermy, What's make you so positive? So sure that R40 is of no consequence. It's almost like you have inside information. Please enlighten the misguided few. Once again? Are you calling me out on something else?

QUOTE (DBJetsman @ Oct 2 2012, 11:34 PM) That's if they don't f*** us over on R40... There will be NOOOOOOOOO R40!!!

I called ahead to the venue and asked who was the artist liaison was. I then put two albums in a box and had it weighed at the post office. They put postage on it and gave me the return postage and mailing label. I put it in an envelope with instructions and placed it in the box and mailed the whole thing to the venue. I mailed it to the attention of the artist liaison as well as Rush. It worked for me. Best of luck to you all.

Songs that they have actually played quite a bit on various tours but they aren't considered the hits or classics. Songs like Red Sector A, Big Money, Force Ten, Dreamline. I'm not sure why they're playing those 4 songs. They've been played a bunch and it's not like they get the casual fans charged up. Look at what a few simple changes would do to it Limelight Subdivisions Freewill Grand Designs The Body Electric/Middletown Dreams Territories The Analog Kid Bravado/The Pass Where's My Thing? Far Cry Caravan Clockwork Angels The Anarchist Carnies Seven Cities of Gold The Wreckers Headlong Flight Halo Effect The Garden Manhattan Project/Dreamline YYZ 2112 (Overture/Temples of Syrinx/Grand Finale) The Spirit of Radio La Villa Strangiato Tom Sawyer Just added Limelight, La Villa, and Freewill and took out Big Money, Force Ten, and Red Sector A...3 songs they have played a ton. I think these 3 simple changes would make everyone happy Looks good but you forgot a (full) Xanadu. Its a crime that they refuse to play that song, one of their all time greatest - and one geddy can surely still sing, btw. I'm sure they are holding all their big guns for the R40 Tour. They knew that mostly the hard core fans were the ones going to this tour since they just relased Clockwork Angels and they are touring with a string section. I'm sure we'll get Xanadu, Hemisphere's (Prelude), Cygnux X-1, Natural Science, y-Tor and The Snow Dog, La Villa Strangiatto, Red Barchetta, Freewill, and many others during their next Mega-hits tour which will probably be R40 in 2014. for now just watch R30 if you can't appreciate the CA Tour for all its brilliance. I can promise you Rush isn't sitting around talking about an R40 tour and what they should save for it. It's not their style to look that ahead There will be NO R40.....that has, and always will be a fan creation! Take in this tour while you can!

He mouthed to the guy in front of me : " you play? you're better than me! I stink!" Then proceeded to smell his arm pit, plug his nose, etc. He really botched the beginning of the solo! You must have been standing right next to me.....I was right there as well in the second row when he said that.
