Cyberdude Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Todays' successful concerts have become heavily dependent on stylistic visuals. RUSH has mastered this craft and taken it to new levels over the course of there illustrious career. What are your most memorable moments of previous RUSH tours in terms of lighting and visuals? http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb69/cyberdudeproductions/july_Rush_9.jpg http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb69/cyberdudeproductions/july_Rush_8.jpg http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb69/cyberdudeproductions/july_Rush_6.jpg http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb69/cyberdudeproductions/july_Rush_3.jpg http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb69/cyberdudeproductions/july_Rush_2.jpg http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb69/cyberdudeproductions/july_Rush_1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALifeson85 Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 (edited) I liked the huge satilite dishes they had on both ends of the stage on the Test For Echo tour....esp. DURING the song TfE, when there were lasers coming out from the dishes! Awesomeness. And I beleive that on the Hold Your Fire tour, at one point during the show, 3 HUGE red balls dropped from the ceiling, and onto the crowd..? Can anyone confirm that?

nobodys hero Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I really liked the videos that played during the R30 tour showing the band throughout the years. That brought back a lot of memories for me. I liked That Darn Dragon. They've had great lighting and lasers for a while. I also liked Count Floyd introducing The Weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquidcrystalcompass Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I will admit that I was on a little something for the Presto tour. I do remember a net-like curtain that came down in front of the band on one of the songs and lasers were shot through them giving it a 3-D look. I'm only 99% certain that this happened though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 One moment from the Presto tour that stood out to me was the end of The Pass. Geddy singing "Don't turn your back and slam the door on me." His vocal reverb and Alex's last chord all shimmering to silence as the lasers shot out from behind the band, and likewise, shimmered to blackness. Awesome.
