I believe Neil THINKS he's retired. No question about it.

But I also think that in 3-5 years he will miss the live component of music, Olivia will be older and more understanding and even supportive of a tour schedule and he will want to come out of retirement.

In his writings, he'll probably even make the comparison about athletes that come out of retirement and how he can relate.

Know one really knows what Neil will do down the road. And with all due respect to FOH Lights (as he is always spot on when it comes to the band) the information he has received is likely not coming directly from Neil's mouth, but secondhand. So, we don't know for sure.

Anyway...things change, ideas change, people change. Even Geddy remarked that he himself is a patient person and still hopes that Rush will be able to tour again. That's good enough for me.

I live in Sac now, but was at the Seattle show two days prior. Great tour.

Good luck on finding stubs! :)

Yup, I saw and heard them too. They were there the last time I saw Rush at the SAP as well.

As i was walking up to venue I was actually wondering if they would be there again; because they made an impact on me.

Not for their religious belief (which I have no problem with); but for two main reasons.

They were yelling at people through a bullhorn and telling them they were going to hell.

I see no supposed Christian love in that at all and not effective whatsoever.

Secondly, they were filming themselves. To me that was very odd. It's like they can take that back later and show it to their congregation and declare "look how great we are...see what we did in the name of God"?

Kinda prideful, don't you think?

I wonder how many panhandlers or homeless people they tripped over on the way to the venue?

I have watched both performances more times than I wish to admit and IMO Dink was far superior.

But there was a cool factor with Mink that is hard to deny. I mean c'mon...having the original violinist was awesome!

So I'm really torn...but my vote goes to Dinklage. He just flat out did an amazing job!!!

Which version (A,B or C setlist) have they been playing so far?

Or is it a new setlist altogether?

I've got two extra tickets for the San Jose show [sec FLR 1, Row 25, Seats ( 13 - 14 )]

 

These were purchased through Tickets Today, so I don't have them yet (nor is there an "electronic" version of the tickets). Any recommendations on how I could go about selling these?

You should still be able to unload them on Stub Hub. It's just a tougher sell when you don't have the tickets in hand.

But I think there's an option to state that you are waiting for the tickets and then you just mail them to the buyer when they arrive.

I know what song I don't pick.

Tom Sawyer

I've tried to watch as many R40 videos on YouTube as I can get my hands on, and to be honest...Alex is really struggling on a few songs.

It may be the psoriatic arthritis, who knows. Yeah, they are all human (barely). More like superhuman... and it's just not like them (more Alex and maybe a little Neil) to be this stiff and rusty after months of preparation.

In the end, they are still gods and the best at what they do. :rush:

My guess would be:

The Anarchist / The Wreckers

Roll The Bones / Big Money

Red Barchetta / YYZ

Jacob's Ladder / Natural Science

It's possible The Camera Eye didn't work out. I don't see where it fits unless they are really mixing things up and having 3 different set lists.

Who designed the t-shirts , a five year old?

Neil's daughter.

Front row tickets have been available for Salt Lake City for around $1200 ever since the show went on sale through ticketmaster's complete sham of a resale policy.

I agree. Those are a sham.

The floor tickets I was referring to are just the standard tickets from Ticketmaster. There is still a pair left on the floor.

And then there are few resale ones available too. Those prices will drop soon I'm sure.

To all of you lucky enough to finally find out for real what we all have been wondering about since this tour was conceptualized. What songs, what stage & what videos etc. Please Please Pretty Please post spoilers for us that are eager to know and can't wait till our turn comes around(I have 16 days). Now please don't ruin your experience or others by posting every song or act during the spectacle. Enjoy the show take it all in it may be the last in your neck of the woods. I have been to shows for the last 10 years wondering if it would be the last. Now there is a definite hint that it may be. So be keen be aware then when the dust has cleared post post post! For all you out there resigned to not peek at spoilers good luck.

Well said.

For those going, enjoy the show first, then post spoilers. This may be your last Rush show.

Tickets are also getting released and open to the public on Ticketmaster.

I'm talking floor seats!

 

There are a few pairs of floorseats on ticketmaster but not a bunch. You can't get more than two floor seats together from what I saw.

Now ticketmaster showing no pairs of floor seats, only singles.

Yeah, they went fast. There is a pair left in section F3 Row Q 12&13

Tickets are also getting released and open to the public on Ticketmaster.

I'm talking floor seats!

Just checked Ticketmaster for tonight's show and it looks like a few good seats are now getting released to the public.

Usually this is the case about this time of day when they finalize the list of VIP's that will not be attending.

If you were on the fence about going, this is the time to snag great seats.

Hurry they won't last very long.

Its finally here which thankfully means; no more "predict the setlist" threads, no more "my favorite setlist" threads, no more "songs that will be played that begin with the letter...." threads, no more "top five songs they will play" threads, no more "top six songs they will play" threads, no more "will they use lasers" threads, no more "how many light bulbs will they use" threads, no more "how big/small will NP's drum set be" threads, no more "how many times will Neil flip his stick" threads, no more "opening video" threads, no more "intermission video" threads, no more "closing video" threads,etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc,etc,etc,etc,. Its here and its going to be spectacular! REJOICE!!!

Now we'll just get a bunch of "bitching about the setlist" threads.

Are any of these songs being played?

 

Show Don't Tell

Cut To The Chase

Cinderella Man

Lock And Key

The Weapon

Test For Echo

 

How many total songs not including drum solos? Count a medley as 1.

 

Please don't tell me anything more, I want some suspense. Just don't want to spend the whole show waiting in vain for one of the above 6 songs, so if they're not being played I can get over the disappointment now and be ready to :7up: May 12.

 

Thanks in advance for any information

They are doing an entire medley of the songs you listed. :drool:

But seriously, no one knows yet for sure. Check back here tonight and we'll let you know.

Going to a pool party and I'll be the nerd constantly checking my phone for setlist updates.

My wife will not be thrilled with me either.
