not too keen on outdoor concerts, so voted for indoors

[Slaine mac Roth]

Same here!

[kazzman]

Indoors.

 

the show I went to, it rained for about an hour...

[nebbish]

have only seen them indoor...so indoor!

[iamarushfan]

id say indoor, theres no weather problem, the sound is probably better, no win d to take it away, light are more intense

 

i havent seen them indoors, but im sure it would be insane

[afansince74]

All the times I've seen them and I'm about 50/50, arenas vs. ampitheaters, and I think I like the outdoor venues better. There are pros and cons to both, and I've heard about the great sound at RCMH for example (never been ), but for me, compareing all venues as a whole in each class, all thing being equal (including weather), the outdoor shows are just more fun, IMO. Something about the atmosphere, maybe it's talegating in the parking lot before the show, I don't know? Just like them better.

Despite adverse weather (rain, humidity, ugh!!), I still have to go with outdoors.

 

The "light show" that sometimes occurs - sunsets, clouds, night sky, moon, all just add to the ambience of the show.

 

Of course, I would never do lawn seats for a Rush show! Too far away from the boys, and too risky if it rained!!

Indoors on whatever turns your crank

[Rolinda Bonz]

Indoor...need air conditioning in Phoenix.

 

besides, you get a better contact high

[ES-335]

Indoors ...

 

I just can't get used to it being daylight when the show starts ... to me, when the lights go down ... the light should go down.

 

Leave the outdoor concerts for Buffett.

Thats very true, I did miss the way that The Spirit of Radio turned out on the VT tour as compared to the R30 tour. For VT, they way the lights played made the stage look twice as big, it doesnt really work when its daylight though as was the case for the last tour.

[Drumnut]

Have to say indoors, I've never seen them outdoors. Then again, I've never seen a good outdoor concert!

[Snowdog]

I'll take it anyway I can get it but if I had to pick, I'd pick indoors.

[Alsgalpal]

I agree Snowdog. Any way is a great way, as long as we are there, eh???? I have only seen them indoors tho... And it still was a great show, I was floating for days afterwords.

[pixey]

I say LIVE! For me I have seen them both indoors and out. My fondest memories have been outdoors though. Every tour except this year we have been way in the back indoors and in the lawn outdoors. I loved being out in the lawn with 20 to 30 of our friends sitting around partying out there! When your indoors you just cant do that. Nothing cooler than sitting there smoking and drinking with everyone. Screaming and jumping up and down, holding onto one another by the end of the show. Those memories are priceless!

i've only seen them outdoors

Perfectly stated. I'll choose indoors over outdoors hands down. However, if I can get tickets to an outdoors show... I'm there.

Think with me, Tampa, middle of summer, with 100% Florida humidity. It was a great show and I'd do it again, but I'd prefer the A/C comfort of the Ice Palace as they did on the T4E and VT tours. KISS was scheduled to play the following night and cancelled because they played an outdoor show in West Palm the night before and Paul Stanley was suffering from heat exhaustion (or at least that's what they said). I can see the appeal of outdoor shows, and maybe in the fall or spring it would be great here in Florida. But please, no more outdoor shows in Florida in the middle of summer. But if they do have them, I'll still be there

I've just had an amusing thought about Rush playing outdoor shows in Britain. They would have to do it in the Summer, due to out climate, which would limit them to about three days in July

It's not that bad, is it?

[Bastille Night]

 

I've seen indoor and outdoor, and indoor gets the nod because of their lightshow. It's not dark enough to apprectiate the lights until halfway through the show at an outdoor venue.

Round here you have to be careful. Nod off at the wrong time and you'll sleep through the summer
