  1. QUOTE (iluvgeddy05 @ May 25 2010, 06:40 PM)I'm pretty confident they will do a full show at the NYS fair. The GS there has real seats and is pretty big. Have had big acts in the past, other than just the country acts. The fair has another free/GA stage inside the grounds for smaller acts and shorter shows. It's right by the Gianelli sausage stand -- which I highly recommend!! ...across from the milk building (and between all the TV news setups). Really, that's the main area of the fair (where the main buildings are) They have had some great shows at the free stage. I usually end up catching one a year. I never knew how much they paid for the shows there, I never really cared. Rush is the first band that's interested me in a while there. If I remember correctly the Grandstand can hold about 16,000 people or so. It starts at 8, so 3 hours would be about 11. I think the buses stop running at 11 (the ones that go to park and ride places scattered around CNY). The Fair closes at around midnight, I think (the buildings close at 10, everything else stays open for a while longer). I doubt the set would have to be modified in any way. Especially since they have been advertising it as "An evening with Rush" like every other show. Yeah, those Aerosmith tickets are insane. Most shows are $50/60 for the expensive seats.
  2. The Spirit of Radio, on this poll. Though I always like Bastille Day (based solely on ATWAS).
  3. I'll have to go with the majority and say Earthshine. I really wouldn't mind any song off Vapor Trails. I would say Freeze if they could fit the other Fear songs in there. It couldn't be presented as one piece though.
  4. QUOTE (greg2112 @ May 13 2010, 05:18 PM)QUOTE (Weatherman2112 @ May 13 2010, 05:15 PM) Let's see........ The whole band Rush, playing material that they wrote (and are still writing), most of it newer than the Wall, most of it BETTER than the Wall. vs 1 washed up guy from a band that hasn't put out any truly relevent music in more than a decade, maybe 2 decades, trying to cash in on past glory, an old album. I don't know. Let me think about this one. They actually havent put out anything relevant in over three decades... I liked The Division Bell...but that was a Watersless Floyd (and it came out in 1994) ... Amused to Death was really good (probably the best Roger Waters solo album), that came out in 1992...so almost 2 decades. In any event, I don't want to see Waters playing a whole Pink Floyd album unless the other members were there (with the absence of Rick Wright, R.I.P.). It can't be pulled off without the rest of the band. It would be like Alex Lifeson touring 2112 with himself and a touring band. As big a Pink Floyd fan as I am, I don't want to see it. I would go in an instant if he was doing Amused to Death with a few classic Pink Floyd songs thrown in, like Gilmour did with Gdnansk. Still, the theatrics will be top notch, it is a Pink Floyd style concert. I would say Rush, just because the experience isn't complete without the rest of the band. It doesn't matter how big of a wall they build for the show, but it would be hard to top the one in Berlin. If the remaining members of Pink Floyd joined with Roger, it would be huge (remember Live 8)
  5. 2, as posted down there. Still haven't gotten anything planned for Saratoga (besides the tickets...I still have a couple months), but the NYS Fair will be the normal Fair thing, head there and walk around for a few hours (one of those hours being in the milk line...though it usually moves pretty swiftly, so it may be closer to 20 minutes...except when I go back in line). Living so close to the fair makes it boring after the hundredth time (maybe 50th), though the food is always good, and sometimes the free (with price of admission) concert is good. Still nothing else to do around here for those 12 days. The NYS Fair is about 5 minutes away from me.
  6. ok. I needed something to put down there.
  7. Different Strings Losing It Open Secrets Available Light Everyday Glory That was a lot harder than I expected.
  8. 10. The Camera Eye 9.The Fountain of Lamneth 8. The Necromancer 7. By-Tor and the Snow Dog 6. 2112 5. Cygnus X-1 4. Xanadu 3. Hemispheres 2. La Villa Strangiato 1. Natural Science quick 1 minute ranking. Only Natural Science is secure in it's spot.
  9. Grandstand seating chart http://www.nysfair.org/grandstand the pdf seating chart helps. I think Track is the closest Elevated Track is next up, and the rest are under the awning. Maybe the chart in the phonebook will help (just got the new ones last week) I think B is Geddy's side, D is Alex and C is the center (Neil) (that may be backward, I have a massive headache...can't read right...or left). I haven't gotten my Grandstand tickets yet, My mom wants to go, my dad may also go, but I need to know before I buy tickets. Otherwise I'd be set. If I remember from a long time ago (I last saw a concert there 12 years ago), the seats are good at least up until the awning. I was in the elevated track seating....I think
  10. QUOTE (shaun3701 @ Apr 12 2010, 01:08 AM)How awesome would it be if Alex played this on the tour, leading into The Trees? Just like on ESL. It'd be even more awesome if it was followed by Xanadu in it's entirety.
  11. I always thought that they would pull out a cassette, play side A for the first half, then after intermission flip it over for side B. for the encore they will eat sandwiches while Geddy checks his fantasy baseball, and Alex will mime Geddy the whole time. Neil will do something different each show (probably doodle the whole time).
  12. Cool. I was wondering what the clock was all about, just didn't have the time (I was lazy) to do it.
