glennb2112 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 nashville would be the obvious choice but they do play alot of rush on 98.1 and rock103 so you never know. maybe play at trhe desoto civic center instead of the forum but close to memephis would be a great gig since we live close. arlington for me! BTW anyone going to the van halen concert in little rock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tupelobarchetta Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 What about this venue for a Rush concert? AutoZone Park. I know it's hosted concerts in the past, including the Willie Nelson/Bob Dylan doubleheader tour. Will the "freedom of baseball" come to Memphis? If any of you have been to AutoZone Park for a concert, what was it like.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennb2112 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 i don't think autozone would be able to handle the enormous stage and all that it encompasses. desoto would be the next obvious choice if they don't play the forum. BTW it doesn't look good for memphis since van halen is playing little rock and tickets sold are around 40% of capacity. i just hope rush would fair better in memphis. they probably are watching ticket sales very closely in the rush camp.

tupelobarchetta Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 If Memphis strikes out, maybe Nashville or Birmingham can make the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmccollum Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 The last time Rush played Memphis was 05/21/1992... at the Mid-South Coliseum with Mr. Big as the opening band. I was there... that was my very first Rush concert ever. I'm stunned as well that they're supposedly not going to be playing Memphis or anywhere else in TN during the 2008 leg of the tour. That really sucks! Maybe we'll get lucky and a Memphis date will get added... keeping my fingers crossed but otherwise planning on I guess driving to either New Orleans or St. Louis for one of those 2 shows.

tupelobarchetta Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I'm disappointed Memphis isn't on the list. After seeing the Rushisaband.com preliminary tour list this week and considering touring logistics, I had a feeling Memphis would be left out. Oh, well. Time to start thinking about my tour plans. New Orleans and St. Louis would be the best possibilities, since they're on Saturday nights. The Atlanta show would require taking some time off work, but it's workable - just like last year when the guys opened the tour in ATL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Rygar Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 DAMN!!! I knew it! Leaves me wondering why they decided not to come here. There was probably a requested million dollar fee just to play here! Just to help pay for the dead pyramid??? I hate this place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are leaning toward Atlanta, though, as I realized in conversation with my wife today, a whole lot of things have to happen for me, my wife and possibly my daughter to go. Here's hoping it will.
