I've seen other bands with shirts in the $25 range and some others in the $60 range (Spyro Gyro). I will NOT be buying a tour book because all the photos are from the last tour, which is asinine if you ask me. I know it would be impossible to sell pics from this in this tour's tour book, but I want pics from this tour.

that's awesome!

QUOTE (red sector animal @ Jul 1 2010, 09:31 PM) I hope next they come out with the "Rush punks you and you'll take it" tour.. Setlist1: Rivendell High water Dog Years All of COS Tai Shan Hour break for soup and salads Then Warpaint Faithless Red Tide Nobodys Hero Virtuality Ceiling unlimited Tears The color of right. Oncore: Roll the Bones -the song- complete Cold Fire Good news First. Then they take a bow, give the crowd the finger, and take off...

no it was at the very end as the music is fading out. Heard on the Youtube post.

yeah, no setlist changes according to Ged in his interview last week with Mr. I'm a cool guy that's all tatted out but I cant remember one friggin question without looking at my note cards. What a choade. Questions like. "It must've been so cool recording that album, what was it like?"

QUOTE (TheBluePhoenix @ Jul 1 2010, 01:39 PM) Is that the only part of the song that you like? No but they did ad "bring out your dead" which is funny...and a little wierd. I liked it.

In that interview last week with the idiot reading note cards and asking stupid questions, Geddy said there would be no changes on this tour because it's so short with about 40 dates. ON longer tours they can tool with it but he said there is really no point.

Here's a link to the H&K website where Alex is featured. there's some real close up shots of his rig and it says a video is coming soon. Sa-weet! http://www.hughes-and-kettner.com/news.php5?id=606

QUOTE (shaun3701 @ Jun 29 2010, 09:32 PM) well sorry to say, but this is bullsh-t. About the only songs I want to hear are Marathon and Camera Eye. then go away pansy

QUOTE (farcryoverspilledmilk @ Jun 29 2010, 09:17 PM) Sorry everyone this set list is weak sauce. Very weak. Working Them Angels? Leave That Thing Alone in the first set on its own? ZZZZZZ...Faithless? ZZZZZZ. Stick It Out the worst CP song next to Speed of Love? Seriously, once word spreads that this is the set list you are going to see the fence sitters stay home. I met one in Best Buy today when buying the movie and he hadn't gotten his tickets yet to the NJ show he was planning on going to with his friends and I told him the rumored set list. He was pissed. Fan since 76 and was not happy at all. I have been a fan since 79 and I like all era's of Rush but I am being a realist here...this set blows. why are you such a putz. next time i see you im going to tell you how ridiculous your 22" wheels look on that Gremlin you drive. Piss up a rope you friggin wet blanket.

omg those rehearsal pics look effing awesome!

Please use this thread as a landing spot for all new pics from the tour!

QUOTE (Hemispheres89 @ Jun 29 2010, 06:15 PM) Here's how I TRULY feel about this setlist now.. 1. Spirit of Radio - HELL YES! 2. Time Stands Still - YES! 3. Stick It Out - OK! (but could be something else.. but not complaining) 4. Presto - perfectly fine with it, but my only worry is I'll feel sleepy during it if it's not "hard" enough. Especially after the first few high energy songs. 5. Workin' Them Angels - UGGH! 6. Leave That Thing Alone - AWESOME! 7. Faithless - DOUBLE UGGH!! 8. BU2B - my lesser favourite of the two new songs, but still good! 9. Freewill - YES! 10. Marathon - I think I just creamed myself! 11. Subdivisions - Already seen it live but pretty sure I'll ALWAYS love this one. 12-18. Moving Pictures album - the reason why I was eagerly buying tickets from the get-go! 19. Caravan - I can't WAIT to hear this one live! 20-21. Solos - Can't wait for Neil's. The highlight of the entire show, for me. 22. Closer To The Heart - Meh. 23. 2112 - ......... says it all right there 24. Far Cry - Good! But as an encore?! 25. La Villa Strangiato - The driving force behind making me reconsider this setlist when i didn't liek it at first glance. My favourite Rush song! 26. Working Man - ..and I thought I'd cream myself only once tonight I am digging this tour now, despite my original claims. 100% agree on all of it.

Whoever is going tonight please see if there are more styles available (ie Neil's shirt) and some womens designs. I'd like to get some ahead of the show we're attending on Oct 2. But if more styles are available we may wait.

I have some disappointments with the setlist too but what band do you ever see and not come out thinking "I wish they would've played this or that"....? I'm bringing my 12-14 yr old teen kids and they are thrilled to just to get a chance to see them. So we have to sit through a couple yawners. Pee break! BTW, for a number of reasons I have a feeling this is their last tour. I may be wrong, but I see more dissension among the band, they're getting older, I don't see this going on forever and this is not the kind of band to do a farewell tour. I doubt any of them need the money.

the stage doesnt look 100% complete. all of Alex's electronics are missing. But it looks like the machines behind Alex are labelled Hughes & Ketner. Must be new models! None of Ged's stuff is up either. Keyboards missing. I doubt they'll go back to a 4th person playing keys at the mixing board??? Hmmmm. I always thought that was cheezy. Edit> that is one big ass screen though!

QUOTE (jesse2112 @ Jun 28 2010, 05:51 PM) Amazing better easily surpasses S&A and R30 There are a couple songs I'd like to swap but I agree it is better than the SA tour. Id have a hard time saying its better than R30 tour though. Im REAL happy with the encore!

IM all for this myself for the same exact reasons. Bringing the kids and wife and am going to make a disc for them to "get with it". Of course once the setlist gets issued I could mix up the songs to surprise them with the order. Doesn't much bother me to know everything I can about the show.

congrats man! good on ya! So jealous. Alex is my other self.

100% on board with these. First tried em at a Candlebox gig (awesome live band BTW) and used them ever since. Better sound, attenuated just enough but loud enough for the rock concert experience.

I've felt all along that MP would start the second set. Makes perfect sense. Throw Caravan and BU2B near the end of the first set. I see this entire gig as a throw-back show with almost entirely older material, hence the time machine tour. Almost as if no new material had been written after MP. That's what I'm hoping for!

A friend mine was invited to a RUSH meet and greet on the last tour. His brother manages a Ruth's Chris in Tampa and the year before Alex and Geddy and wives pulled up in a limo and asked if they could be seated on late notice. They apparently were quite gracious and asked for no special treatment but were accommodated and very greatful. They took his name and email address. A year later he gets an email stating they had front row seats at the Orlando show here in town and were invited to the meet and great. It was as described above, however they had arrnaged in advance permission to have a bass and guitar signed by the guys. Apparently they hung in the Ruth's Chris for about two month's unitl the regional manager asked them to be taken down. Both my friend and his brother happen to be big fans and were given couple extra minutes, they were last in line by design. He said the guys were real nice but clearly had other things on their mind. They post the pictures on the website in a secret area for the participants to download later.

The worst thing now is waiting for the documentary next week on VH1, and waiting for my Blu- ray of it to get here. Anyone know of a pre party for the show? We're coming from Orlando. I'm Longwood Bro.' Heading down with the family so not much partying though.
