QUOTE (sdhonda @ Jul 31 2012, 01:49 PM) They will almost certainly play it. It has prominent strings, and it is the third single. it will definitely be part of the setlist. Just thinking about all the casual fans that may not even be aware a new album is out. By the end of this 6 or 7 song set they will be heading to itunes for a DL.

QUOTE (tel @ Jul 31 2012, 09:16 AM) cant wait for this..... http://skymovies.sky.com/brand-new-trailer-for-skyfall they showed an even better trailer before TDKR. It looks really great. Love these films

My lord this looks incredible... Anyone read this book?

Freewill will show up second set, maybe as the encore. I think I posted a few months ago that the opener will be one of the hits, a couple deep cuts will follow and then we'll get the majority of CA in order closing the first set with The Garden, which will be epic in each and every way possible. I cannot see them breaking up the album over two sets like they did with S&A. I think Frewill makes and awesome closer with By-Tor and maybe working man. I don;t see LVS on the horizon unless its part of the main set

QUOTE (Mr Rush @ Jul 25 2012, 11:08 AM) Since it looks like the orchestra is a done deal and the boys have said they will play songs that they haven't played in a long time I'm wondering if Losing It maybe included. I have always LOVED that song and it seems logical that they would give it a run with the orchestra in place. Also it's probably in a key that Geds comfortable singing in. It is one of my favorite songs in the catalog. Possible?

Check Signals Dog on the tour book? Check Song they've never played live before? Check In fact I KNOW they'll play it, or my name isn't Alex Lifeson!

I love the song but the end of the song teases us at about 4:45 with what should be an up coming epic solo ala Mission and then nothing...the song fades out. Hopefully when they do this live Alex will jump up and pull an amazing solo out of his ass.

I heard Halo Effect on Sirius Deep Tracks yesterday. My boss (who picks the channel) is a musician, dislikes Geddy, but liked the song.

serenity now

voted no but would love to see that stuff come out

i really liked it.

QUOTE (iluvgeddy05 @ Jul 15 2012, 06:35 AM) They are garbage, but I tune in occasionally. Like a previous poster said, it's cheap entertainment, akin to reading a trashy novel on the beach, or watching Jerry Springer. Actually, reality shows like this really are the modern day trash talk show IMO. Sorry the OP may think less of his wife because of what she watches on TV For the record, I have a masters degree and work for an Ivy league institution. Technically I shouldn't be watched such trash, but hey, it happens. I don't let show schedules dictate my life, however. i have to say I do think less of her because of it. Just as she would think less of me if I were fascinated by trash. She owns her own real estate brokerage and is quite intelligent and as another poster said, its an escape. But I don;t see how manufactured controversy and conflict does anything for one's mental well being

i honestly think it sucks that there aren't more opportunities to the average guy. There is room for more. I have a business assoc. who's brother runs a Ruth's Chris. He got Ray, Alex and Ged and family a table on a last minute deal on Valentine's Day about 6 years or so ago. 6 months later when RUSH came to Orlando, out of the blue he was given 2nd row seats and a meet and greet. great for them I've been emailing people for the last 4 weeks, trying to start relationships and make contacts. Maybe it will pay off. Probably will not.

Where can you buy the passes? you cant buy them. You can buy the VIP package "for a chance" at a meet and greet. One lucky winner per tour stop.

QUOTE (ReflectedLight @ Jul 16 2012, 03:05 PM) QUOTE (They Bow Defeated @ Jul 16 2012, 02:05 PM) QUOTE (ReflectedLight @ Jul 15 2012, 01:44 PM) all i know is with the strings added to the show, i'm definitely looking at the setlist. Does this mean that you'll consider not attending if there are too many songs with strings? Or that you'll be taking one of your famous bathroom breaks during all the songs with strings? i have a ticket that was bought for me already but i just want to know beforehand if they are going to be adding strings to songs other than the ones on ca. take for example neils big band part of the drum solo. i like big band music on occasion but i don't like big band music in neils solo. Big Band music does not have strings. Brass and reed baby! Trumpets, sax, trombone, etc.

I am still amazed at the tunnel vision some people have about the strings. A small ensemble used sparingly in songs that are recorded with strings is completely appropriate and will add to the overall experience, not distract or damage it. Some of you sound like little children being dragged to the symphony by your parents. Quit crying about it. Go and enjoy the experience and try to open your little brains to new experiences.

you can know people or as I've done after a decade of trying... you can forget about it. I've contacted management, I've tried to get in with his entourage, I've contacted the venue, anything I can to be one of the 40 or so people who get 10 seconds to shake a hand and say thanks no luck. Personally, I effing hate the system. There are people in here that seem to have unlimited access (which I don't fault) and multiple pics of them with the band, yet I can't even buy a guarantee. If you buy the VIP pack you get "a chance" for it. Sorry, Did that 4 times with no success. I was at the venue in WPB once the morning of the show, chatted up crew, spoke to HU (pretty sure) and could not get in. Great people, wall of denial... sucks

Just watched The Perfect Getaway, thriller about a couple on their honeymoon. Turned out to be quite awesome!

my last three runs (about 4 miles) have been exclusive CA... I get lost in it

QUOTE (GeminiRising79 @ Jul 9 2012, 03:19 PM) I've only heard the lo-res youtube version of CA, and I refuse to purchase the CD based on my initial reaction to it. If anyone would be willing to point me to a good quality recording, I will give a fair listen and see if it "blooms" after a week. If I do see some early glimmers and it grows on me, like so many of you insist, I will buy the CD. If not, I will give an in-depth critique of each song, and the album as a whole. Thank u, Kurt I've refrained from addressing you in the past because you are a bottom feeder of gargantuan proportions and only interested up-chucking idiocy. You're posting about a $13 CD. Buy it, don't buy it. We don't give a f**k. You contribute nothing. think about that. your sole purpose in life is to be an asshole. Just because people are responding doesn't mean people like you. Attention is not friendship. Get a good therapist. leave, please. just leave.

watching Fast n Loud on Discovery... a show about guys fixin up old hot rods. wish I had some cash to this myself.

here's Billboard's site. Amazing what Googling Rsuh album sales can pull up on the first page' http://www.billboard.com/#/artist/rush/dis...phy/albums/5579

QUOTE (NYM86 @ Jul 9 2012, 05:44 PM) Around that point in the song I could really go for a tempo and feel change, so that's why I like it.
