zappafrank Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 I'm assuming it's not the same person each show, following Geddy around. So that being said, in Cleveland on Sunday, it's gotta be Donna, right?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably supposed to be a surprise but I would guess she's going to be the one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be worth keeping track on this thread:- 13th Nov - New York - Paul Rudd 15th Nov - Philadelphia - Brian Koppelman / Pierre Robert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurabw Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 (edited) Boston. She's going to be at the RushCon pre-gaming event in Boston. But yes, if shes's the interviewer there, which seems logical, she's not spoiling. Edited November 17, 2023 by Laurabw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Seeker Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 What's the pre-game event for Boston? Quick search, can't find anything. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, a ticketed event like that isn't really what I was thinking. Guess I thought it was just an informal word of mouth bar to drink and hang with fellow Rush fans. I woulda bought Donna Halper a shot tho. Her loss! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurabw Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Yw! Yeah, I saw it was sold out. I'm not going to Boston, but would’ve loved to have met her. But i'm sure there will be other peeps at bars near the theater!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edhunter Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Eric McCormack hosted Boston as well, with the Fenway Park organist warming up the crowd, and Geoff Edgers, a reporter from the Washington Post asking the fan questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodmo Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Not suggesting this is probable, but I have wondered if we will see Alex at Massey Hall. It's a special place for them (Geddy saw Cream/Jack Bruce, a seminal RUSH concert) and is home turf. It would be well received (and I am excited to be there!).

BastillePark Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Pretty surprised that Donna Halper wasn't the interviewer in Boston since she was there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, one of the highights was at one point Jack said "I have some interview notes on my phone, let me take it out and reference them" and then he puts the mic up to the phone and starts playing Xanadu and rocking out like only Jack Black does. Geddy was rolling. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BastillePark Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Why do people feel compelled to yell at the person/people on stage? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The decline of civilization............. IIRC heckling and yelling in a theater used to be punishable by getting thrown out of a venue. Back on topic, I think Jack Black is hilarious but I'm immature. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalfwayToGone Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Having been to the first show in NYC, it was nowhere near as bad as people seem to think w/people yelling out. Far quieter and more attentive/well-behaved audience than any rock show I ever attended for sure. The haters (most of whom didn’t even go to any of these shows) should ask people who were actually there instead of reviewing the shows based on second hand video clips and a hypocritical notion that everyone should feel and behave exactly the same way as they do at a live public event or else they’re “selfish”. I can understand being upset the guy behind you uses your back as a set of drums for an entire rock concert as if everyone does it (which has actually happened to my older brother at a Rush concert—it almost resulted in a fist fight). That said, these shows are all unique and very moving at times and extremely entertaining. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were 2 or 3 people in L.A. out and being annoying, but for the most part everyone was well behaved and attentive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
