QUOTE (tullfan @ Sep 9 2012, 06:23 PM) Rush gives their 70s fans a middle finger on the CA Tour. With ticket prices averaging $100.00 + this is what they do ? By what I can tell on this forum many of you are younger and have no problem with this, but you know what, Rush became popular during the 70s. Us older fans went to their shows, bought their albums, t shirts and tour books. Had a great time. This all came to a head when Moving Pictures came out and Rush was king. Record sales through the roof. All was well in Rushworld. Signals came out and was great and then they get the bright idea to not use Terry Brown and start dropping their epicness for a bunch of lame 80s records and set list that started the trend of completely ignoring their past along with a segment of their fan base, you know, the ones they gained their popularity on. It's very insulting to do this to the fans that got them there, but apparently there are other generations after who seem to love their post 1985 stuff. That's fine, I just think that Rush could put aside 45 minutes in their set list to please the older fans. After all that is the least they could do and they #!#@%ing know it. Instead they take the "This is what we are going to do and we can care less about the fans" attitude. O.K. fine. I give up. I will not be going to this show. The first Rush tour I will miss since the Hemispheres Tour. I was a diehard and they threw fans like me under the bus. I'm sick of it !!!!!!!!!!! Must be nice making tons of money playing a bunch of songs some of us don't want to hear, oh and by the way, make sure no one steals your t-shirt money Rush because you don't make any on the concert ticket. Give me a #$@%ing break. I too am an old guy that first listened to RUSH in middle school, which had to be 1976-77. I loved the early blues-based stuff and everything after that. I would love to see By-Tor and Hemispheres and all the great old stuff, that's what I was praying for on this tour. But as the setlist unfolded I was literally giddy during the first set (except for Far Cry AGAIN). Those 80's tunes have grown on me over the years and although they were pretty synth heavy, in my mind they actually possess some of the tightest bass by Ged and incredible drum arrangements. HYF being the highlight of this period to me. ANyway, the setlist is never perfect for me either, but I am so happy to be a fan and one of the 'in crowd' that still follows them. Of course CA is amazing and their best since HYF or MP/PW for that matter. Can't wait to see them!

The wife says "that's great, but there's $40 here." And the guy says "Oh the other $20 is from the guy that pooped in my pants". that joke is from Eli's Dirty Jokes on Youtube. Classic. I tell it all the time.

I love the setlist...nothing like i expected, but very happy. There's a few songs i dont like and this one has fewer than the last few tours. Very, very, very disappointed that Losing It did not make it. Cant wait for Nov 3!

QUOTE (The Owl @ Sep 7 2012, 09:37 PM) Not complaining about the setlist....but Touring with a string section and not playing "Losing It" = BIGGEST MISSED OPPORTUNITY EVER!

those video displays are moving

I say we have over 300 people here tomorrow night waiting for news and having a party!

Yes, the wife dragged me to this movie, though i do love well acted dramas, this is one of those movies. As a couple with 20 years of marriage, a recent separation (and reconciliation a few months later) we thought there might be some good moments in here for us. And boy was there. Anyone in a long term marriage should see this movie; heart warming, funny, very well written and bitter sweet in many ways, it really explores deep marital issues from a clinical yet entertaining way.
