I think it would be cool if Rush wrote an album that consisted of every song being a different genre of music that they have played over the years. A few prog rock songs, one or two syth songs, a blues rock song, and maybe a few alternative rock songs like off of Counterparts.

Listening to Joe Satriani's new album Shockwave Supernova and IMO hearing Alex influences all over it. On one track, If there's no Heaven thought I was listening to Power Windows for a minute.

I cant be the only one who want to see this concert converted to blu ray quality.

So I've been reading this over the past few days and I have to say, it almost does a better job of explaining and documenting the legend of the band than BtlS! I've gained a newfound respect for much of the band's material and story and I highly recommend this to any Rush fan. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/546908.Rush

I posted this in the other thread that we have for setlists below, but I'm really interested to start a discussion on realistic AND fantastical ones sets as opposed to purely sentimental ones or those on someone's dreamline. As you'll see below, I love making rush puns. Here's my Setlist! It's both fantastical and realistic. At the beginning there were too many hands on my time, too many feelings,... Too many things on my mind. However, in the end, I detached and subdivided it over and over, but now I'm happy and would endlessly rock to it any day. Don't be afraid to give feedback on my setlist, as I can't stop thinking Big, and would enjoy others telling me what they think just between us. So here goes it. Set 1 R41 Overture - Working Man - Anthem - Bastille Day - Making Memories - What You're Doing *leading straight from the solo towards the end into the opening song* Far Cry Driven Earthshine Kid Gloves Red Tide Nobody's Hero Malignant Narcissism Drum Solo Secret Touch Closer to The Heart Second Nature Emotion Detector Headlong Flight -- Intermission -- Act 2 Spirit Of Radio Free will Jacob's Ladder Entre Nous Different Strings Natural Science Afterimage The Twilight Zone (ambitious, I know) YYZ Resist Broon's Bane The Trees Mystic Rhythms The Enemy Within Losing It (ambitious Part II) Everyday Glory Tom Sawyer -- Encore -- 2112 (Overture, Temples, Finale) La Villa Fly By Night** ** Alex talked about how he'd like to do a heavier version of FBN so assuming they do, that's where I'd put it. What do you think?

Not seen a topic on this, but in high anticipation of replacing Moving Pictures and Exit Stage Left on vinyl, I went on Amazon to preorder as they are due out next week on the 24th July. But both Amazon US and Amazon UK are saying they are unavailable and would I like to know when they will be available. Anyone know what's going on?

So I went to the Tulsa show and had a blast! By far my favorite show of all time, and I won't give spoilers :) However, it would've been much better if the guy behind me hadn't been a drunk a**hole. So, like a normal person at a ROCK concert along with everyone else in the first 4 rows of our section, we stood up even though we were stage side up in the bowl of the BOK center. It was a great view regardless of whether you were standing or sitting. For about 3/4 of the first set, I jammed out on my air instruments with my three other friends, and then I feel a tap on my shoulder from this guy behind us. He says "C'mon guys sit down, we have great seats." So we kindly oblige, but the people in front of us are still standing, and then we ask them to sit down, but they encourage us to stand back up. So with this in mind, we do that and everything goes back to normal. About 5 minutes later, my friend hears rustling behind him and a spillage. He turns around to see the guy spilled a beer "accidentally" all over his flag he had brought. We think to ourselves, alright benefit of the doubt, its a coincidence. At intermission, my friend leaves and goes to wash out his flag. I talk to the guy during intermission and attempt to explain my side of the story and why we're standing, but he wanted none of it. He was not even that intoxicated at this point, but he said "I asked you all "nicely" to sit down, but you didn't, so shit happens and your friend's seat got wet." I was getting pissed at this point, but remained my cool and tried to talk to the guy a little more to diffuse everything. Yet again he wanted none of it and was making derragatory comments about my size (in terms of weight and height) and wanted to "take this "argument" outside." As an aside: Look, I know I'm a pretty big dude, but get over it. Anyway, at this point, I just turn around and wish him well and start taking photos of the stage. As this happens, I can hear him bitching about us to this lady behind him, and now I'm just done. So, I run to an usher at the top of the arena and explain my story and she was very helpful and pleasant and agreed that this was getting out of hand. During the first song of the second set, she got security to come talk to the guy and he didn't do anything/say anything from there on out. I would've sat down/exchanged seats with the guy if he would've handled the situation differently and gave me and my friends respect or if more than 50% of our section was sitting, but unfortunately that didn't happen. So, TL;DR, what is your stance on standing at concerts? Was I in the right for standing and doing what I did?

This list was inspired by a friendly debate that Laughedatbytime and I where having while almost high-jacking a Clockwork Angels thread. Also the greatness of the Synth Era is a subject not covered enough in this forum. For my purposes the Synth begins with Grace Under Pressure and ends with Test for Echo. You might say it ends with Counterparts or Roll the Bones but you’d be wrong. Without further a due I present the Essential Songs of the Great Synth Era. Grace Under Pressure Distant Early Warning Red Sector A Red Lenses Between the Wheels Power Windows The Big Money Grand Designs Manhattan Project Marathon Territories Emotion Detector Mystic Rhythms Hold Your Fire Force Ten Time Stand Still Second Nature Prime Mover Lock and Key Mission Turn the Page Presto Show Don’t Tell Chain Lightning The Pass Scars Presto Anagram (for Mongo) Hand Over Fist Available Light Roll the Bones Dreamline Bravado Where’s My Thing The Big Wheel Ghost of a Chance Counterparts Animate Nobody’s Hero Leave that Thing Alone Test for Echo Driven Half the World The Color of Right Totem Dog Years Resist Limbo Carve Away the Stone You may like this post showing your approval of the list but there is no need for comment or debate. In fact 73 can just lock this thread now.

Who else in RI, MA, CT, NH area willing to help? Closest I've been is 2nd row... At least once, love to be a lucky one to get in the front and center!!! I'll bring my BLAH license plate to hold up!!!

Neither St. Louis or Austin are on Youtube!! What's going on?
-
If y'all have any videos from any of the concerts on this tour, stick them all in this thread so they are easier to track!! Let's start with any from last night in Tulsa!
-
based on setlist, films before each set, etc., I have been resigned to the fact that Rush will not tour in Europe.
-
I know everyone has different opinions. This is basically me dying to know whether the Rush community likes the setlist or not. And..maybe I'm trying to find a way to get hints at the setlist without actually looking at it. Please get here June 8!!

It was 1977 or 78 (who's counting?). I was 14 years old and my favorite bands were KISS, Ted Nugent, Aerosmith. My friend from down the street came up to me in the hall at school and said, "come over and check out this new album I just bought by a band called RUSH." so I rode my bike to his house after school. He was so excited to introduce me to this new band. He was like "man before I put this on look at the inside cover.There's only 3 guys and they create so much energy and music, you won't believe it." (he pointed at Geddy Lee's picture) "that guy plays bass, and keyboards and sings." He put on A Farewell to Kings and my perspective on rock music has never been the same. Immediately I knew this was so different. Wow! who remembers the first time they heard RUSH?

I know this post probably doesn't belong in the main forum, however I wanted to gain as big a response as possible. Sorry! So, anyway, at the ripe age of 17, I have only recently discovered the wonders of Rush concert bootlegs. They are still a new concept to me, so I have a few questions I'd greatly appreciate any answers to. 1) Where can I find the best quality Rush concert bootlegs? 2) Is there one place where I can find all Rush bootlegs, or do I have to scour numerous sources? 3) Are there bootlegs in existence for every concert Rush have done? 4) Will any of you be bootlegging the R40 tour? 5) What would you say is the best Rush bootleg?? Thank you in advance!! :D
-
Not seen a topic thread on this but who's releasing all these bootlegs officially. Have just seen one called The Lady Gone Electric 1974 which has entered the UK rock charts. Due for release on 27th April is Rush at the Kiel Auditorium 1980. Are they being re mastered? Who is releasing them and are they official releases?
-
Hey Guys!!! One of my friends bailed on me for my 19 hour cross country road trip to see the opening night show!!! Section 112, Row H, Seat 13... It is Geddy side of the stage right next to the stage!!! http://s1.ticketm.net/tm/en-us/tmimages/venue/maps/agf/61056s.gif I paid $245 for the ticket, and I'm asking exactly that!!! Please PM if interested!!! -
Does anyone hope that on the r40 tour they do more material from counterparts? Would love to see leave that thing alone live.
-
Probably a post that has been battered to death with over usage, but I'm curious to hear answers, so here goes it. There's a new law that restricts everyone to have one Rush song to listen to, their favourite one. Without any smart answers here, what's your favourite Rush song, (the one you choose) and why? After long deliberation and vacillation, mine is Presto, because it's my favourite Rush song and I never get sick of listening to it no matter how many times it comes on shuffle. It's hard though!!

I found this below article at Rushisaband.com "Speaking of which, animator Norma V. Toraya (aka Crankbunny) has done some work for Rush on recent tours and looks to be doing some work for the R40 Live tour as well, and she may have given away a potential setlist clue via her Instagram account earlier this week. She put up a post this past Wednesday that included an #R40 hashtag, and showed a computer screen with some animation software running. There were a few movie (.mov) files listed where the filenames contain the words Geddy, Alex and Neil, and in the upper left of the photo was an audio file referencing the title of a Rush song. The Instagram account in question has since been made private, but if you are itching to know what the potential spoiler was, just ask around. It isn't a huge spoiler (assuming it even is a spoiler) in the grand scheme of things since it's not a deep track or anything they haven't played live before." Does anyone know what song it was in reference to?

I don't think anyone's asked this question yet, and I'm sure it's an important one to somebody. You think this would make a good onscreen sketch? Discuss. -
So I was just thinking to myself yesterday, after hanging out at my buddy's house and playing 2112 and YYZ on guitar hero, what if there were a totally Rush themed guitar-hero-type game, like Guitar Hero Aerosmith or The Beatles Rock Band? I mean how awesome would that be for Rush fans who play video games too? The first thing I'd wanna know if one were somehow created (since all but Rocksmith have gone out of business) would be what songs would be in the game? Certainly they'd have most everything on the so-called "greatest hits" albums, including a full 2112, but they's need more songs than that I'm guessing, a few deeper cuts. And then there's the issue of needing 'easier' songs for the beginning of the game and slowly moving towards the most difficult songs at the end. Considering Rush's being Rush, I'd almost bet that this would be the most difficult career mode in any game of this type to complete, as even the easy songs would be significantly harder than those on other games. What do you guys think? What songs should be in the game? How much should be "greatest hits" material, and how much should correspond more to fan favorites (though often these line up a bit)? What kind of storyline should career mode follow, and songs could be chosen for the easier levels of career mode? Have fun! :)- 19 replies

One of my favorite rush songs, has one of my favorite rush riffs ever. Why doesn't it ever get mentioned ? I think it's the best song on the debut.
