The Owl Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 We all know that at the conclusion of the "Snakes and Arrows" tour this November, Rush will be on a break until the New Year. This is of course great news as they will be continuing on until about this time Next Year!!! But since the billed "Snakes and Arrows" tour ends in November, what will they call the 2008 leg. Will they be planning a live album and bill it the name of that. Ex. "All the Worlds A Stage" tour happened after the "2112" tour or might it be the fan dreaded "Farewell" tour. Any guesses???? Note. this is not a spoiler thread. If you wish to discuss the tour as of now please avoid spoilers. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCFIELDS Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I dunno......but if it's their last tour, I doubt they will dub it "farewell" or anything like that...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuppetKing2112 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 A lot of times, after the scheduled dates end, bands just add more legs onto the same tour...U2 and the Rolling Stones have been on their "Vertigo" and "A Bigger Bang" tours, respectively, since 2005 and are still calling them the same thing. Expect Rush's new dates to be billed like so: "An Evening with Rush - Snakes & Arrows Tour 2008" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alphseeker Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I would call it the "damn lucky to see us twice in one year" tour - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
different strings Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 QUOTE (alphseeker @ Jun 18 2007, 05:01 PM) I would call it the "damn lucky to see us twice in one year" tour - Yes very definitely and I would say that there is one more chance that I might get to see the boys play live before they decide to retire or, better still, they might ACTUALLY go to Australia so that I can see them for sure.

Cygnus The God Of Balance Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I have two wishes regarding the 2008 leg: A: Gas prices are below $3/gallon. B: That Rush does a cross-Canada tour that includes a stop in Sault Ste. Marie at our new arena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

streak85 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 the opportunity to see a show twice (same geographical area) within a year's time span wouldn't be the first - that was common back on Presto and Roll The Bones tours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Owl Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 The thing about the winter leg though is that if they're revisiting cities, that all the venues will be diffrent. Who wants to sit in an Ampitheter in February??? I'll be intrested to see not only the cities visited but as well as the venues as well. They missed Nashville because of the closing of Starwood Ampitheter, but I will be thrilled if they play something like the Nashvill Arena (formally Gaylord Entertainment Center or the "GEC) or Even where I live in Murfreesboro (30mi south of Nashville) at the Murphry Center (MTSU's indoor arena) which they have done before (Counterparts tour) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to include on the proposed 2008 schedule the city where rock and roll was really born - Tupelo, Mississippi (the birthplace of Elvis Presley). We have a 10,000-seat coliseum that's cozy enough for the guys to feel at home. Tupelo was good enough for the following folks to perform here - the Eagles (twice), Elton John, Van Halen, Kiss, Bob Dylan (twice), Aerosmith (twice), Robert Plant & Jimmy Page, Rod Stewart, Bill Cosby and every major country music act, with the exception of Garth and Shania. Heck, Reba McEntire rented Tupelo's coliseum for a week to practice for a tour. I know it's doubtful they'll visit Tupelo, but one can't help but dream ... If they won't visit Tupelo, then I hope they'll add Memphis to the schedule. Maybe they can play the Mid-South Coliseum - where I saw them in '81 and '82 - for old time's sake.

The Owl Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 Now that we have seen some rumored cities, I thought I would revive this old thread. So now do you think the 2008 leg will be billed something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abc Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I heard they will be playing Branson Missouri. They are going to kick Dolly out of the "Dixie Stampede", put in the green lasers, and blow that city up. P.S. The golden oldies will come to see, "finding my way".

Ya_Big_Tree Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Lots of bands do a fall tour followed up with a short break for Christmas and a return to do a Summer tour. For example 2 years ago Nine Inch Nails came through Toronto 3 times. The beginning of the year they came and did a small club show, then in Fall they were back and played the ACC, then they did a Summer Tour and played at the Amphitheatre. I think Rush are doing the same thing. I highly doubt that this is a farewell tour seeing as they have said they are writing new material on the road for this tour.

The Owl Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 If you've read eariler posts, those made back in June, it's likeley that the second leg will be billed as "Snakes and Arrows 2008 world tour". But I don't think so. We have seen double leg tours in the past, where the first leg was billed with the name of the album, the second leg billed with something else. Most notably was the 2112 tour followed by the "All the world's a stage tour" both premoting 2112. I think we might see something simular here as well. I have stated in another thread that if Rush releases another live album for this tour it will come on the second leg. Therfore I think the second leg will be billed as whatever that live album will be called "Title of live album, tour" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
