HemiBeers Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 November 11, 1982 Wings Stadium Kalamazoo, MI. I was a junior in college. I took the city bus to the arena (how sad is that?) and was going to hitchhike back but ran into some dorm mates at the show who gave me a ride. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t imagine what those first concerts back in their golden years must have been like. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

September 23rd, 1980 - Moving Pictures Warm Up Tour I care about this 40th Anniversary infinitely more than my high school 40th reunion this Spring. :laughing guy: :laughing guy: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pound of Obscure Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) Nov. 13, 1984. Charleston, WV. The only time I didn't have to travel for Rush. Age and travel requirements were the reason for not seeing PW and HYF tours. So I guess 2024 for me.

HalfwayToGone Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 My would be December 21 & 22 1981 at the Brendan Byrne Arena in East Rutherford. We went both nights because we were total batshit crazy for Rush.My first Rush show was the 22nd. I bought and brought home my first drum kit earlier that day and nearly forgot my ticket when we were leaving in a friend’s pickup truck. We almost skidded into a guard rail in the snow racing back to get it. I remember the exact date, because for many years later I had the jersey, which had only these two dates on it on the back. I had seats that were “behind stage” but they were really good seats on the lower level side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
