QUOTE (SchemingDemon @ Jun 26 2012, 05:58 PM) Rush ripping off Nirvana? maybe? I would call it more tribute? I think at the end of Carnies I swear that last guitar riff sounds like the end of The Ace of Spades

Easily on par with any other Rush classic over the years. By itself it has bits and pieces of all the era's if you listen close enough, they are there.

QUOTE (Ancient Ways @ Jan 26 2012, 07:10 PM) Linkin Park, Queen, Papa Roach? Yes, Queen for sure. Lots of pure heavy metal riffs and fills all over early Queen. Listen to the Prophet song, the middle jam split they rock and stone cold crazy (that Metallica covered).

Geddy was on fire on the July 2 Show at the Gorge. As it was the last show of the tour, Geddy said he as not leaving anything out there and he sure showed it. He just burned up his bass on the end of Leave That Thing Alone.

whatever they want to play to keep them interested in playing live while tossing in a few standards here and there I'm good to go. count your blessing each and every tour

QUOTE (cheech44 @ Jan 27 2011, 01:02 PM)thanks -- wanted to make sure my little guy would have an unobstructed view from the front of the 200s. any recommendations on how early to get there prior to the show to deal with parking, etc? The gorge is out in the middle of nowhere, 2 lane county/country roads in and out. Parking is in huge fields and as said earlier can be dusty in the drier months. I would suggest you target to be there as much as 2 hours early just to be sure. I've only attended the one Rush show at the Gorge so my experience is based on that only. We rented a hotel room in nearby Moses Lake. This time my daughter lives in the Wenatchee area so we'll just drive to her house after.

QUOTE (cheech44 @ Jan 27 2011, 12:37 PM) question about gorge seating -- are the 200 sections as portrayed on the Live Nation seating map? i.e. there's a defined aisle between the 100 & 200 sections? Or is it just one big slab of seats that arbitrarily becomes the 200 section once you're a certain distance back from the stage? there is a railing between the 100 and 200 series seats. and there is a railing/bulkhead wall between the 200 and grass seating areas. each area is clearly defined.

I saw the last S&A show at the gorge. The venue is fantastic. It was very windy that night causing the hanging speakers to sway and twist, it had a bit of an affect on the sound quality but overall, for me it was a good show. I look forward to seeing them there again

whats the deal on MP anyway? any tour setlist has to include Tom Sawyer, YYZ and Limelight and then every other tour they would do Red Barchetta so really, they are always almost there anyhow. And then to the folks who cried for years for The Camera Eye, here you go, two tours in a row. We should all be grateful they are going back out on such an aggressive schedule and I am excited to see the revamped list with whatever they decide to change out slightly to freshen up the show including anything else from A Clockwork Angel... I'm juiced

Sorry, most of you younger members will never know the excitement I had today. I'm an older member of the board having been on the bands wagon since 1978 and as I progressed through my adult years I passed along the love of Rush to my kids. Today, that came back in spades when my daughter called me to inform me that on presale for the July 2 show at the Gorge Amphitheater in George, Washington we have section 101 row 15 Seats 9-12. Remember to pass along the joys of your life to your kids and someday they will reward you...afterall, I've footed the cost of the tickets for the last 4 shows.... We're there, anyone else?

for me its easier to add what I don't have. test for echo is not on vinyl, i don't have it....

.....say, I'snt the RRHOF in Cleveland?

maybe next tour = yeah, i'll get back to you

QUOTE (LeaveMyThingAlone @ Aug 25 2010, 10:51 AM) is going on at Red Rocks? Some really weird stories. Just when we think we have one cleared up THANKS to Nobody's Hero, another one is started.. Sorry, but this just doesn't make sense. Why in the worls would security support this if they were sold illegaly? And who is this scalper to tell YOU and Security what they had to do so that his illegal seats could be accomodated? Bizarre... its called kickback....do the math. $600 per ticket? 20-30 seats? up to 18k. a few bucks to the head of security and your still way ahead

QUOTE (FOH Lights @ Aug 23 2010, 01:27 PM) QUOTE (osage2112 @ Aug 23 2010, 08:49 AM)You'd think RUSH's caravan would be large and noticable. Anyone seen them? Osage The "caravan" doesn't necessarily travel together and is often spread apart on the highway, even if by just a couple of miles. Since the semis are unmarked/unlabeled and the tour buses are different colors, to the average traveler, they usually go unnoticed. Which, by the way, is the way they want it. Unlike this guy! in fairness to Keith Urban, his tour seems to be sponsored by KC Masterpiece and Kingsford....so the cost of all that on the trucks wasn't of his own checkbook.

QUOTE (StuartBruce @ Aug 24 2010, 05:55 AM) I am 46 and I can just about remember 8-Track I am assuming they must have lasted a lot longer in the US of A Why not open it up and ask if anyone has Rush on Betamax or Phillips 2000 laserdisc .. better still see who has it on the most rediculous format and can still access it !! Its no good having a wax cylinder if you don't have a wax-cylinder player I have a laserdisc player...video quality sucks and is nearly as good as VHF... LOL

also a travelocity page is loaded so they can book their hotel room at the next tour stop

from NJ, 5 days should be enough. make sure you have a return postage somehow

From what I picked up from the threads; you send (mail) an item you want signed to arrive at a venue they are playing at close to the time they are due to arrive. send with a postage paid return envelope or I would recommend a media mailer for LP Covers. address it to Rush C/O venue name wait and see if you get it back. Seems mostly that people get their stuff returned, seems there were issues of some stuff not coming back. Its a do it at your own risk endeavor. good Luck

...and get photo's of your bruises.

did you ever get an explanation why you were singled out? did you get the name of needle dick?

Episode VII In a galaxy still really far far away but not as long ago as before but still kind of a long time ago really if you think about it....

just confirmed via my FB link to Rush, Santiago Chile tickets are now on sale. any forum members...get buying for best seats. QUOTE The RUSH Time Machine Tour will hit Santiago, Chile @ Estadio Nacional on Sunday October 17th. Get your tickets for the October 17th Chile show now!

yeah, as you said...the crowd around me was singing, dancing, shouting, jumping and had a great time.... great photo's. I'm still living the buzz from last week
