Wait, the VIP swag was mailed to you? I ordered VIP for the Phoenix show and called them. They said that everything is picked up at the box office, including the swag. I thought that was very weird as I'd have to make a trip back to the car to store the swag. I sure would like more clarification on that.

After months of waiting, it finally arrived. I got my collection at the end of last month right after returning from the Nashville concert. I am just now getting some decent photos of it. It looks so amazing that I don't think I can get myself to select a drum for my kit. I really wanted to figure out a way to see if I could get Neil to sign the head of the TM snare. I tried called DW Drums and they pretty much blew me off. I'm going to the Phx, both LA and the Vegas concerts in a few weeks. I was hoping to maybe bring it along and see if I could get it signed.

Geddy looked at me and I pointed to it and he gave me a thumbs up. THAT is cool! He had on the RASH shirt too for the first set. He changed to a GeFilter shirt for the second half.

QUOTE (CMWriter @ Apr 5 2011, 10:57 PM) Wow, you captured some amazing shots. I'm considering making a desktop wallpaper (for me and for others if they like) for the second leg. If I credit you, would you mind terribly if I snagged a couple of your epic shots? I'd probably just put a link to your gallery watermarked in the corner or something.. EDIT: I like how the tickets you took a snapshot of say "NO CAMERAS OR RECORDERS". Oh the irony. sure thing. use whatever u'd like.

Alex and Geddy both looked at me and made faces many times. I captured two of them. http://ozy311.smugmug.com/Music/Rush-Time-Machine-Tour-2011/IMG0272/1240638915_9D6rD-M-1.jpg http://ozy311.smugmug.com/Music/Rush-Time-Machine-Tour-2011/IMG0229/1240635427_bhvDJ-M-1.jpg

QUOTE (Glee @ Apr 5 2011, 03:55 PM) Great pics, and really nice video too. I was in second row, closer to Alex. Were you next to that crazy guy that was jumping up and down?? No, I wanted to punch him. He spilled a beer at his feet and it went all under where I was standing.

QUOTE (TheBluePhoenix @ Apr 5 2011, 02:35 PM) Sweet! The only obvious problem is that the audio is distorted which is common for point and shoot cameras. I have a Panasonic Lumix ZR3 that I brought to the show. I was pleasantly surprised that the video sound did NOT get distorted. It must have some built in mechanism to prevent it. This is especially surprising because there is no mention of this in the camera specs. The camera performed way better than I expected. The Canon S95 has two front pin mics for stereo recording. The monitor right in front of us was blown and was heavily distorting any low drums and most hits on some of Neil's upper toms.

Hey guys, I was so lucky to have front row tickets at the Nashville concert. I brought in my Canon S95 and security was asking to see the pics at the break since they had to hide under the stage. I even had Alex and Geddy pose for me during the concert! Please check out my pictures and images. http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=7D76AFBB78C53A33 Make sure you watch them in 720p! http://ozy311.smugmug.com/Music/Rush-Time-Machine-Tour-2011 I'm going to the PHX, both LA concerts and the LV concert + RushCon. I hope to see some of you there!
