I was hoping to see who the other RTB person was. ME TOO!

 

I lost touch with the band after Signals and really didn't know any of their stuff 1984-1987. I was really into Presto when it came out, but the thought of seeing them live wasn't on the radar at all.

 

But then RTB came out in 1991 and I flipped over it. That's were it all exploded for me as far as becoming a Rush freak. It's been an avalanche ever since.

2112. Dec 10, 1976. Probably their first visit to New Jersey. Search youtube for "Bastille Day". They were the opener in a triple bill that included Ronnie Montrose and Foghat. Most people didn't know them going in and they probably only played 25 minutes or so, but after the show they were all anyone could talk about.

I think the ticket was either $6.50 or $7. A "Far Cry" from $125 at the Garden Monday night (or the $8.50 to see Zeppelin at the Garden in '77), but still a bargain.

While were on this subject maybe someone can help me with something that has been driving me nuts. Jan 17 1978 Kansas City Municipal Auditorium. This would have been the FTK tour none of the many sites listing tour dates have this show listed but I've got the ticket stub from that night. They also came through again on Dec 11 the same year same venue(have that stub also). Unless these sites all pull from the same data pool I can't figure out why the 1/17 show is not listed ...thoughts ? confused13.gif

You ought to send those site admins a pic of your ticket stubs, and see if they will add those dates...

The first time I saw Rush was March 4th, 1977 at Cincinnati's Riverfront Coliseum. They weren't even the headline act (but that's who my friends and I went to see)! Starcastle opened up first, then Rush played, and lastly Boston. Boston only had one album out at the time. (Boston played EVERY song from that album. About an hour at best, maybe only 45 minutes.) Rush played for right at an hour, IIRC. This was the ATWAS Tour, so they had four studio albums to pull material from at that point. That was the one and only time I ever saw them not be the headliner. I've seen every tour since, at least once.

Kings tour at Newcastle (UK), I think it was the loudest thing I'd ever heard. Apprently theire were lots of souns problems, part of Something 4 Nothing was sung offstage while Geddy was presumabley discussing the sound issues.

 

Mind you I didn't notice, my ears were just trying to come to terms with the sheer volume, I was amazed when I read in "Sounds" a few days later about how bad the sound had been.

 

Anyone else at that gig??
