UniqueT-Shirt my Arse. Dublin was snided with them. Now this is a unique T-Shirt http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u55/Nickslikk2112/Rush%20Dublin/Peeps/P1030147.jpg (Any old excuse to show off daddy)

Maybe, like Van Halen, they'll play at The Whiskey for a small crowd!

Got Block A for Newcastle Sorted for 02 Dublin too 12th row back centre (a contact at the promoters ) Prices are ridiculous!!!

I would agree with most of the comments - cost of flying the equipment over, small number of dates etc puts the price up.

Also, if you don't think it's good value - don't go!

I do think that it is a legitimate gripe that ticket sales should be restricted to 4 per person to give more people a chance of getting a ticket and reduce the scope for touting although I don't know how much influence RUSH or their management have over the way tickets are issued.

Question... Do they sell out uber fast?

I watched extracts from the Red Rocks show. Was there not a camera and operator in front of the stage.

I am sure that there will be a DVD, perhaps South America again where the crowds go really wild.

I have always been a fan of Deep Purple and Rainbow.

Preferred the 70's line up and albums.

Always thought that Ian Paice was greatly underrated as a drummer.

Listen to the drumming on Burn as an example.

A lot of my favourites would be similar to those mentioned but three that are missing which I have watched several times are

 

War of the Worlds (1960s?)

 

The Time Machine (1960)

 

The Omega Man (1969?)

While watching the S&A DVD, I noticed that Alex plays an electric guitar at the beginning of Natural Science but is producing an acoustic sound (presumably by using his pedals).

Why does he use an acoustic guitar set up on a stand, in addition to his electric guitar on songs like Entre Nous and The Main Monley Business?

 

Is it purely a sound thing?

Please JON it is "You probably would have got away scott free" that is such a distressing error for me to see. My ten year old is always making the same mistake, even though I beat his buttocks with a whippy cane - luckily hubby has very little to do with the child, and I can get away with it.   The educational system in Britain really is ruined, in my day we were made to eat chalk dust for mistakes like that, and it never did us any harm Is this sarcasm, or are you actually saying you hit your child with a cane because of a grammatical error?   What do you do if he spills paint on the carpet, hack off a limb?           Blessed be?   I don't think so. Wow Smudger you really are showing your ass in this thread. Sorry, only hubby sees my ass.   OK I may have gone a tad over the top in what I writed, but altering number plates is a bug-bear of mine, and I just want to emphasis why you don't meddle with them OK? Rush may be the best Rock band out there, but they aren't worth breaking the law for. OK?     And to Mr Gotten, gotten is an archaic form of English, and is not a necessary, what is necessary is to use "would have" and not "would of" because "would of" is completely meaningless. If I were to attempt to correct everybody's spelling and grammar, it would be a truly unforgiving and thankless task I think that it displays bad manners and attempts to show some form of superiority when drawing attention to spelling mistakes and incorrect grammar. Such errors may be down to oversights, dyslexia, poor education, lower intelligence or the fact that English is not someone's first language, none of which is a reason to criticise.   If you must draw attention to errors, point them all out, including the fact that "scot free" has only one t.

I saw them back in 1983, can't remember the tour (Eagle has landed?).

 

They were touring the UK last year and I saw them in Belfast.

 

Shame to see a great group playing to a small crowd in a small venue but they still rocked.

 

I bought a triple CD "The Very Best of Saxon (1979 to 1988) from Amazon which was good value .

I would agree - good band, I just regret not seeing them live.

Hope they do a UK tour.

I was just thinking that a lot of 80's bands are having a last fling - Police, Genesis, Saxon and now Magnum

Where is the guy in the bear suit in the Shining?

Great group - saw them live in 1978 on the Live and Dangerous tour.

Brian Downey was a very underrated drummer - listen to Bad Reputation.

Without doubt - The Shining.

Even though I have seen it several times, the part where the two girls first appear always makes the hair on my neck stand.

If you like horror movies with class, watch this one.

 

As a second, the clown in "It" is quite scary too.

I remember watching it and I thought it was great. As well as Kunta Kinte, I remember that he passed down stories about his village and some words from his native language (kippy bolongo - a river, I think).

It made me think about my roots and over the last few years, I have researched my family tree and made contact with long lost cousins.

Great show - I was going to start a thread on this until I noticed that someone alreay had.

We're on the second series here in the UK, don't know if that's ahead or behind the US.

I also noticed on the credits that Kelsey Grammer (Fraiser) assists in the production or direction.

I remember it - it was interesting. John Houseman made a great lecturer, alll knowing and pompous.

The lead guy was a bit like John Walton at University!

I'm not sure if I totally understood it - but it was one of those movies that I had to watch until the end to see what happened.

I like Arnie movies, especially Commando.

Plenty of action and good lines.

Most of it is believable apart from the scenes near the end when he is being shot at by god knows how many men and they all miss while he is a one man army killing everything in sight!

A minor criticism of a good film.

 

P.S I must be weird also because I always remember that line

 

"Do you remember when I said that I would kill you last - I lied"

The original was great but I felt cheated by the second considering that Michael Myers had been shot several times and fell out of a window. The third had nothing to do with him so I never bothered watching any of the others as it was obvious that nothing or nobody was capable of killing him.

Old Yeller (although I haven't seen it in a long time) and some parts of Titanic do it for me.

I don't watch deliberate tear jerkers like Beaches and Imitation of Life.
