Grace.
Graaace?
Graaaaaaaace!

Rush are probably the best all-around value in live music. No one plays longer or harder.
The notion of (fill in X) as a "cash grab" is silly.
They are a business. Simply don't buy it if you feel a product isn't redeeming or worthwhile.
I can think of no other band who has pushed--and continues to push--the envelope for so long.

Well said, Hemispheres! Too bad most just don't get it, and have nothing else to do but bitch (and often with poor grammar and spelling).

Though I am not certain, it's probably because they were only paid for the video to be shown at the concerts. It is likely they did not agree to future broadcasts without compensation. As famous actors, their likenesses are worth something. It's just business.

Isn't this, by and large, a fan message board?
If so, how can a fan not note the many drug references in both song and prose?
Bigger questions: "Why wouldn't they?" (Drugs heighten many things.)
"Does it matter?" (Of course not; inspired work always inspires.)
The use of drugs does not diminish the integrity of an artist. Moreover, why do many conservatives falsely believe drugs can't be done responsibly?
We know their current vices.
Neil loves booze and smokes. Geddy and Alex are oenophiles.Do the math...

Just give me something smaller, like Rush meet n greet tickets
Really? Pay the taxes and sell it. It would be the easiest, fastest and best return you'll ever make!

We drove from Syracuse and it was well worth the time and effort! Amazing concert!

QUOTE (iluvgeddy05 @ Apr 8 2011, 12:24 PM) Dear ____
Please stop using every opportunity where food is the subject of conversation to tell us yet again that you have turned vegan and gluten free, and that you "can't" eat certain foods.
Here's the thing: this makes you no better than me, or the person next to me. At the end of the day, we all poop the same way, ok? Meaning, you're on our level whether you want to admit it. Stop looking for pats on the back, parades and congratulations for being LIKE SO HEALTHY!!!!
Also, gluten-free diets are for those with Celiac's disease. If you do not have such a disease (and I assume you don't since you never mentioned it and claimed you thought you'd "try" being gluten free), then you're doing yourself a disservice.Very nice!
I hate to say it, but vegans are often very annoying (everyone who is not vegan is an outsider and less healthy; or worse, mean and heartless).
Is it just me, or is celiac disease almost en vogue? All this gluten-free marketing has to be reactionary.

QUOTE (Relayer @ Apr 5 2011, 02:41 PM) Online scalpers want $150 - $2,000 per seat. Total farce. I bought a ticket for the Hemispheres tour in 1979 at the show from someone. I got in for $10. Prices have gotten so out of hand. Something is very wrong out there! Nothing is wrong. Ticket prices are high because artists don't sell records anymore. Of course, there is also the principal of market value...

QUOTE (GeddyLeeLifeson @ Feb 10 2011, 03:24 AM) I just wanted to show off my Geddy Lee and Alex Autograph it's not from the current tour but I purchased it on ebay years ago. It came with a COA and it's awesome. I understand especially from BtLS that Neil is not the type to sign for everyone but it's cool that I have this.

Not only do they not even resemble their actual autographs, but I am 99% sure those were signed by the same person. Notice the identical upward strokes. Sorry.

Easy choice: go or don't.

The prices are not ridiculous. They are precisely what the market will bear.
The average concertgoer has no clue how much it costs to run a tour like this, let alone overseas.
Instead of whining, why not plan accordingly? There is nothing fans can do about the prices aside from not going (which is unlikely since you wouldn't be on this fan site otherwise).
Go rock out and enjoy the opportunity!

Good morning,
I'm not sure who he was pointing to, but I believe it was the Muslim gentleman who attends a lot of shows in the front row.

To me, the star of the night was Alex. He was on fire!

Hi Janie,
Sorry to hear that. That's very disappointing!
As far as those claiming they are auto-signed, that is not true. They're authentic.
And for those that send in more than one item, don't you think that's a bit silly? They have a show to get ready for; it's not a record signing. We should ge grateful they are signing at all.
Cheers.

I think it's wise to always have your wallet in your front pocket. Debit cards seem an unnecessary risk; even though V/MC ones have the same federal protections as credit cards, it's the"freezing of funds" that can slow down the process. I use credit cards 99% of the time. They're easy, convenient, secure, provide protection, and some even literally pay you to use them.

Hello,
Was there good attendance the first two nights? They deserve it!

Good attendance?

If they play RCMH, I am there! It's been a dream to see them there.

I'm just glad to have them in Central New York--it's been way too long.
Oh yeah, and all that good greasy food and cold drinks make the day that much better!
Rush Sector Remaster Sets
in Rush
Posted
Personally, I wont be getting these unless they release the DVD-A versions as stand-alone albums. I'm VERY disappointed with the bands decision to release these latest remasters in this way. I think its just another cash grab and BTW, the band DID have a hand in this release. The whole thing was terribly thought out and from what I understand, they are mastered even louder than the sonically horrible 97 remasters, which I didnt even think was possible. Yep, I'm passing on this one. Bad move boys!!
Why is it a bad move? They are entitled to sell their music as they wish. If you don't support the decision, simply don't buy it. Sectors do not diminish artistic integrity one iota. Technology allows a lot of marketing opportunities.
