Jag2112 Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 The question is, will they perform? Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson to participate in the Taylor Hawkins tribute concert in London 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurabw Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 ohhh, you know, I just immediately assumed they would play, but yeah, they might just get up there and talk about him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am skeptical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing as you, that they must be playing, but you are right. They just may talk and introduce another act or something. Not that I am able to get to London anyway!

Laurabw Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 I think perhaps if they DO play, it would just be in some kind of giant jam at the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangy Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Look at the image below Note - special appearance by Dave chappele. If ged and Alex were not going to play it seems like they would be listed like that. Not with musicians. I gotta think they will play a rush tune! https://www.jambase.com/article/taylor-hawkins-tribute-concert-london-lineup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 My guess is since almost everyone listed to play is a solo artist, that everyone is going to play as a guest with some incarnation of the foos. So like, Ged and Alex play with Dave drumming and maybe Rami on keys. Now, what songs they play, that’s the question! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apetersvt Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Now if we could only get Alex and Ged to play at the benefit for another drummer. The event in St. Catharines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueschica Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 (edited) For those who can't make it to London, there is a concert scheduled for LA as well, later on September 27th. Thought it would be confusing to have 2 threads so I'm putting it here. LA ticket sale starts tomorrow, 9 am Pacific, Noon Eastern. Rumors of presale codes but nothing concrete. Anyone going? Rushman14? Rushhead Earl? treeduck? Ibanez? Rhyta? Road trip! Road trip! Edited June 15 by blueschica 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exiled yorkie Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 The foos have covered YYZ and Tom Sawyer, so I wouldn't be surprised if they do those two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chemistry1973 Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 (edited) I think we need a Peart memorial concert no? I know there is an upcoming memorial, but I don’t think it’s a show. Also - I think this London concert is a strong indicator of a future Ged/Al/Dave collaboration. Edited June 15 by chemistry1973 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malignant Narcissist Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Thanks for this info. I'm seriously considering going to the London one now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurkst Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 I'd like to be a fly on the wall when Alex and Geddy meet Joan Jett! Quite a varied bill at Wembley, but Taylor did have eclectic taste... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnify Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Oh man, I just bought plane tickets to fly to LA the day after the concert (I'm flying to see Porcupine Tree at the Greek Sept 30.) Well, it would take alot to change the ticket and everything now; plus, I imagine tickets to this show might be hard to obtain (at least for reasonable $) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apetersvt Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Did anyone manage to get tickets to either show? I went on Ticketbastard shortly after on sale time for the LA show (wasn't planning on actually getting at ticket, but was curious about price) and had to wait about 20 minutes until I got my turn in line. As expected, all tickets were already sold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytserush Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Don't feel the need to be there but I wouldn't mind watching it. Don't think I need to hear a Rush tune at a Taylor Hawkins tribute concert either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 I woke up 15 minutes late to try and snag a ticket. It was 15 minutes too late. …and have you seen the scalpers??? Dear goodness, this is a tribute concert for a man who died far too soon and left a distinguished legacy. Who are these jerks reselling immediately after they bought tickets for *at least* a 400% markup??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
