  1. I have the following: Moving Pictures Classic albums shirt 2007 S&A album cover tour shirt 2007 S&A baseball jersey 2007 S&A long sleeve tour shirt (black shirt with 3 arrows on both sleeves) 2008 S&A ouroboros-arrow logo tour shirt 2010 Time Machine tan tour shirt 2010-2011 Time Machine grey tour shirt with backward writing on back Retro MP shirt from BTLS dvd RASH shirt from Time Machine tour dvd 2015 R40 blue shirt I think that's it. The 07 S&A tour was the first time I saw Rush. Most of the tour shirts I got cheap through the Rush Backstage Club sales. $40 for a t-shirt got to be a bit much. I don't remember what the baseball jersey went on sale for but it was a good deal.
  2. It's listed in this week's Best Buy ad so they should have it. Best Buy has carried the last few Rush dvd/blu-rays with a store exclusive. Best I can tell from the picture it has some kind of exclusive content (the interviews with other artists?) and a goofy keychain. Not as cool as the shirts from past sets. There are still Best Buy stores?? I order everything from Amazon. Always here in 2 days, never waste time looking for something at a store. I assume you don't spend much time driving around a city or you'd see them. ;) When I driving I look at the road......LOL There is 1 down the road, have not been in it in years. Best Buy is a dying breed, they are making $$ with their online model, but not a profit with the retail locations. They closed a number of stores each year from 2011 to 2016, they expect to close upwards of 200 more in 2017 They are going the way of Circuit City. Large cities will be the last ones to close. So yours is safe Oh I know. They've really gone downhill in the last few years. Inventory is much smaller than it used to be. One store I really miss is Media Play. They were great and always had a lot of fun stuff. Aw man, Media Play was AWESOME! I went to my local store more times than I care to admit. It's a shame that they're gone. I checked one of my local Best Buy stores and got their last Blu-ray copy for $20.

  4. I wear a 7 3/8 and fits perfect, the reg size on the hats is to small Thanks!
  5. If you don't get any answers here you could always try calling the Backstage Club and ask them. Thanks! I sent them an email the other day but didn't get a reply yet. Did the email they sent out state when the sale ends? I don't think it did. I'm still debating on what I'll order. I think the hat will fit better than the 08 S&A tour hat that I have. I had wanted the larger size but at the concert they only had one size for sale.
  6. If anyone has the black R40 fitted hat that's on sale I have a question. The only size the store has is "Big". Is there anyway to tell the size? If it's like the old black S&A 08 tour hat then maybe the Big size will work. The S&A tour hat is regular sized and it's a little tight on my head. Debating on getting the hat or the blue R40 tour shirt since it's down to a reasonable price.
  7. http://www.kissfaq.c...hp?f=1&t=109241 I called BS on the guy because he had posted the same crap last year when Rush didn't tour. Best reply he could come up with is that I'm "butthurt" fan lol! More likely Livenation was butthurt because Rush turned them down so someone concoted this story. Nevermind the guys stated mutiple times they were taking a break after the Clockwork Angels tour and didn't want to tour last year. Holy cow...I can't let this slide....Kiss and their fans have to be some of the most delusional people on earth.... Disclaimer...at 10 in 1976 I discovered Kiss...they were my #1 band...finally got to see em live in Jan 1978...by the fall the wheels startef coming off...by 1979 they were disappointing...by 1980 they were a joke.....as far as I'm concerned you look no further than the fact that last studio lp with the 4 originals was dressed to kill....think about that....1975...thats disgraceful......my favorite album destroyer has "ghost players" all over it.... By 1980 I was into Rush...Zep...Crimson...Yes...with Rush as my new #1..... I read Paul Stanleys and Peter Criss bios...it was interesting ....I'll never really hate Kiss....but the delusional stuff I simply can't stand....and their refusal to even play at their induction in the RRHOF did not look heroic...it looked like "same ole Kiss" who can't get their shit together..... I wouldn't give any insane theories they have about touring a second thought....its that "same ole Kiss" braggadocio that never adds up under further inspection....its just Gene Paul bullshit. I am a Kiss fan as well despite all the crap that goes on with the band and their crazy/insane fans. Destroyer and Rock & Roll Over are IMO their best albums. I'm just tired of the guy posting that crap I think mainly to deflect the fact that Rush is able to tour without having to co-headline and Kiss can't. I gave up on seeing Kiss live after Poison outperformed them in 2004 but won tickets for the co-headlining tour with Def Leppard last year and Kiss was actually good that night. I still don't like Ace and Peter's make-up design being used but it's an old argument.
  8. Here's a crazy Rush rumor from a poster at KissFAQ's board: http://www.kissfaq.com/forum11/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=109241 I called BS on the guy because he had posted the same crap last year when Rush didn't tour.

  9. Oh boy. Those are horrible! Get the original CD's. Much better than the 97 botch job. I have to disagree. What you basing this on? The reason I ask is because based on what I remember seeing of the almighty DR numbers, the 97 cds aren't that far from the original issue.
  10. I was lucky enough to go to the Atlanta show and I skipped the merch tents. Probably the only thing I would've bought is a program. I think that's one of the few items that thankfully hasn't been marked up! More power to those who can or want to spend $40 on shirts but I think it's a huge ripoff. I'll wait for the webstore sale.
  11. If anyone has a lawn seat for tonight's show please let me know. I called the box office and as of now, there won't be anymore tickets released. I'm a little surprised the freaking lawn section sold out.
  12. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I should've gotten a lawn seat earlier when I had the money to spend on it! My only hope now is to win then from the local rock stations which I confirmed will have a few more tickets to give away. Even if more lawn seats are released I'm no longer in a position to buy one. Come on concert winning luck!
  13. I need to show this thread to a jerk on another forum who was calling me stupid for wanting to send a copy of Moving Pictures to get signed. While I admit there is a bit of risk involved and truth be told do you really know who's signing it, what's the harm in trying? I even have a second copy of Moving Pictures on vinyl so if the mailed sleeve got lost it wouldn't be a big deal. I ended up not going through with it but good luck to those who do.
  14. I have ordered the following shirts from the backstage club and been satisfied with the quality: -S&A long sleeve shirt -S&A baseball jersey -Time Machine second leg shirt (gray one with reverse print on back) Gotta love their sales, especially for the jersey! Good thing I don't really like any of the R40 stuff because $40+ for a t-shirt is ridiculous. I thought paying $30 was a bit much when I bought a Time Machine tour shirt at the Atlanta show. Too bad Rush didn't offer retro prices on the tour stuff! ;)
  15. Glad to see I'm not the only one that has a problem with tour shirt prices. Sure Rush isn't the only band asking $40 and up but it's ridiculous. I guess this is another way bands are making up for the decline in music sales? Be interesting to see the cost to produce a shirt compared to the price.
