this song is all i needs...skip tp 4:30 in this video - love what comes before it, but this is cool.

where do you think the audience from the rush in rio dvd stand on this one?? same as most folks!!!!!! pun intended

a friend told me that she heard on the radio we will hear a concentration of songs from moving pictures AND MOSTLY ABLUMS THAT CAME BEFORE IT . Not much from any thing post-moving pictures? friend said she heard it on the radio...in cleveland, not a "phone call"/fan...

QUOTE (Phall2112 @ Jun 24 2010, 04:53 PM)I was mowing the yard last night. And it came on. I think its still in geddy's range. And not to much keyboard. This tune just seemed like something they could pull off. And al's solo is awesome. so were you listening to the song on headphones or did this epiphany just cometh to you?? i must totally agree with you... and since has new found love for Floyd Rose trems, i'd bet he dig abusing it every night with that solo! when they pulled between the wheels out "from the vault" i was in 7th heaven!!! kid gloves can't be too far from where between the wheels was in "the vault"! and the grace under pressure haters : suckle it! fair weather fans!

what about sarnia bayfest on the 9th?? going there from cleveland...

lotsa folks here mention interviews with ged and alex about the time machine tour...if you know what sites the interviews are on, can you post them... oh yeah, any with too!

This better not be a joke dude. all i can tell you is that their ability to kick ass has been confirmed by all planets of the solar federation...

QUOTE (cygnus_thegodofbalance @ Jun 19 2010, 02:09 PM) They're playing Vital Signs this tour. Like...holy shit! geat, great song. yet, as far as the b side of moving pictures goes, my least favorite track... youngins: "...B side of moving pictures "

QUOTE (shaun3701 @ Jun 19 2010, 03:19 PM) VT was like the one tour they actually alternated some songs, and they didn't play Vital Signs when I saw them. I was so disappointed... but this should make up for it. what was the alternate to vital signs??

QUOTE (liddybuck01 @ Jun 18 2010, 07:37 PM)Signals is my fave album, although i'm not fond of Countdown. would love to hear all of the songs! countdown is in everyone's top 5 all time rush songs fom '80-'84

QUOTE (GrandDesigner @ Jun 18 2010, 10:08 AM)Unfortunately I think those two songs will forever remain in 1982. Losing It I could see them wanting to do (especially now), but obviously the violin plays way too important a part to just be relegated to a backing track. Chemistry is just too unimportant a song to play 30 years later. Yeah it's cool, but it's probably one of their most underwhelming songs of the 80's and probably hasn't ever been thought of since they dropped it mid-Signals tour. livin' 2 much in '82 like uncle rico!

they tune down their guitar/bass to make it easier for ged to sing songs like circumstances and temples. it depends on if the song works or not when you tune down. they may try some older stuff tuned down and not feel 100% satisfied with how it ulimately sounds. zep did the same when they did their show in '07.

Roll the Bones friggin rocks the house bro. That's right I said it. agree. but heard it too many times on tour, radio... rather hear roll the bones or bastille day??

I also think LVS is a strong possibilty. Great list, though. has jacob's ladder been "confirmed" or something? if so, i may need to bring a change of pants to the show...

Some may disagree, but the difference is truly night and day for me AND if for some reason you don't like the sound with the ear plugs in, simply take them out... BUT if you do not bring them, you can not use them to hear the difference for yourself... Enjoy the show! This is true. Your ears cannot even hear correctly at those high decibals for that length of time. That's not even mentioning the potential hearing damage. you'd have to be in a 8+ hour long rush concert to do permanent damage to your ears. ask an ENT or other dr. sure your ears get a bit of an ass-whoopin' but remember one of the bands ( ) biggest influences is brittains legendary spinal tap "...i just wanna make some ear drums bleed..." earplugs at a concert is like a blindfold at an art show...or at least really, really dark sunglasses, or a welding mask or something... maybe we should just have big matresses duct taped to the stage and house speakers! now that would be awesome!! Ooooh, to be young & naive again. Take it from someone who knows, it doesn't take much to permanently affect your hearing. I've tried to limit my exposure over the years, but still suffer from tinnitus. I used to scoff at the thought of wearing ear protection too. I used to think that you weren't "a hard core rocker" if you wore them... and now I pay the price for it. Trust me, $14.00 for a good pair of Hearos is the investment of a lifetime. The music models are designed to protect while enhancing the sound, and they truly do work. sorry about your tinnitus...but the MAJORITY of people will not have hearing loss or other issues without prolonged, continous exposure- not just a bunch of concerts, where your ears have time to recoup- but as i said 8+ hours...thats just a fact. try to do a little research on things before you add young and naive...smarty-pants cuz it really makes you the naive on, donnit??

QUOTE (Bukaloo @ Jun 16 2010, 09:34 PM) Cool, thanks for the responses. Anything else I should be aware of as a first-timer? Do most people sing along or just air drum or what? Really looking forward to it! acording to a few folks around here...most people sit in their chairs, and this is the important part: arms folded- save little quiet golf claps- so as not to offend anyone.

I see what you mean here. Sorry, I wasn't very clear with my post. I was referring to David Lee Roth as the "probably not", but I wasn't clear about that. Instead, it sorta seemed like I tied it in with Cliff Yeah, with Cliff, there is no "probably not" Well... unless you get really wasted at the show, then you might see Cliff play. I saw Cliff play.................. dig this- cliff!!!!!
