Crap no laserswhat am I going to tell my year old daughter when shes asks: " When are the lasers coming Daddy! When?" Crap!.....This is going to be one long @ss shortened Rush show! Again, it has NOT been 100% confirmed that there weren't lasers. There's a good chance there were none. No "Dreamline" or "Red Sector A," the two big laser showcase songs. True, but on the S&A tour, they also had lasers on Witch Hunt and YYZ. Well, we'll have to wait and see. With or without them, Rush put on a GREAT show regardless. Still, it would be a bit of a shock if they didn't use them. Did you not look at the pics from the second set?? Show me drumset changes. This dude was a delusional french fry salesman at best. ef him.

FOH; you are a farce...seriously...go f*** yourself. How many hotdogs did you sell tonite you retard??

QUOTE (D3strukt @ Jun 29 2010, 10:10 PM) I just don't understand some people. The first set is LITTERED with gems. The only normal ones are "TSOR" "Freewill" and "Subdivisions" So where are the gems? Are you F***ng kidding us???

Honest question? Was there a lull in the crowd during Presto,SIO,WTA,Faithless...be honest.How did the crowd react? Was BU2B badass??? Honestly the stage looks badass...will be great once evening falls.

I wasn't on TRF when the S&A,R30 and VT tours were announced. It's obvious that there is a lot of dissapointment being expressed at the leaked rehearsel setlist for the Time Machine tour(assuming it's accurate). I was wondering if there was this much of an outcry when previous setlists were announced.Just curious.I know Rush can't ever please all their fans no matter what set they put together.But there seems to be a lot of hurt asses out there.I know mine is sore So what do you think? Don't bother bashing me for not liking the first set it's just my opinion and it is what is? Thanks.

Awesome pics and stories. Rush and rare records are my 2 favorite things in the world.Seeing Rush at a record show in 1975 would have blown my mind.Wow.

Would anyone like to play a game of chess during the first set? i'll be in section 102 at the philly show.Otherwise i'll just catch up on some sleep.

No thanks, I've got great seats for LV and WA. Seriously, would you sell your ticket over 4-5 songs? Or do you hate the whole setlist? "...a blind man in the market,buying what is sold."

QUOTE (theworkingman @ Jun 28 2010, 07:00 PM) QUOTE (oldphilly @ Jun 28 2010, 03:58 PM) I don't see where the Time Machine theme fits into this at all. Not a single surprise or OMG moment in this set. Really? The last 3 tours were more Time Machine oriented if you ask me Like I said, if they hadn't announced that they were playing Moving Pictures in it's entirety or talked about Camera Eye (Which everyone seems to be forgetting) and this set list came up you would all be wetting yourselves right now. Well,in that case The Camera Eye would be the only real surprise...other than that,zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

So Presto seems to be the only vintage song that they've never played live before,yet it's not really vintage at all. Really guys? I don't see where the Time Machine theme fits into this at all. Not a single surprise or OMG moment in this set. Really? The last 3 tours were more Time Machine oriented if you ask me-they busted out Circumstances,Entre Nous,Passage To Bangcock,Natural Science,Digital Man,etc... This time we get Presto and Stick it Out as the big surprises? C'mon get real.

QUOTE (amish_ashaman @ Jun 28 2010, 02:49 PM) This went from being possibly the best tour they've done in a LONG time to being the worst one they've done since Hold Your Fire. I agree.The first set is just awful.I may sell my ticket...ugh.Seriously dissapointed.I pray this setlist is totally wrong.

The bridge in BU2B is the best thing in the whole wide world.It gives me chills over and over.It's been a looooooooong time since a new Rush tune has had this effect on me.

OK I'm nearly in tears over how amazing BU2B is at the 2:30 mark...CLASSIC Rush sound.Holy shit! I honestly didn't think they had it in them anymore.Thank you Rush!!!!!!

I'll admit that I'm not at all a fan of VT or S&A but this is a pleasent surprise.BU2B is really good.Caravan is a grower for sure.Wow.I'll say this is the best stuff they've done in 20+ years Yep,I said it.

Awesome.My friend scored front row center for the Philadelphia/Camden show.I'm jealous but she deserves it.She's an uber fan and has been trying to score front row seats since the Signals tour!

These are going to be some hot-ticket shows.I'm thinking demand is gonna be huge.I haven't been compelled to see Rush live since 1994 but this tour is bringing me out for sure.I'm real excited! I literally have not been this excited about a concert in 20+yrs. And I just blasted the f*** out of Moving Pictures!!
