Dances with the Moon Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I had to look for myself. Evidently something else is happening at the Keller Auditorium April 18, 2009 http://www.pcpa.com/events/calendar.php?nextmonth=6 There's something fishy going on here.

Bravado2112 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 It's obviously some kind of mistake. Wishful thinking aside, Rush is not playing a 2,900 seat theater in Portland. It doesn't make economic sense. Even with attendance down and no marketing gimmick at all, Rush averaged over 8,000 per night and more than $500,000 gross per show this year. If they tour a third year in a row it will definitely be because lucrative offers are made and playing to 2,900 people leaves quite a bit of money on the table.

Jp93 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 This gives me so much hope I really hope a good '09 tour comes around because I want to see them as much as my scheduel (Us high school students are booked all year! ) and budget allow. They're just getting older and I may not have much time left to catch some shows...Thanks for very much for sharing the web page, even if there's just a chance.

Spike Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I know I'm in the minority, and I'll get flamed for this - but I actually hope they DON'T tour in '09. I've spent so much money the last 2 years on Rush tickets - and I need a year off to let the bank account recover (not that it will in this economy!!) With that being said - *IF* Rush tours again (and I hope they do - in '10 or '11!!), I will certainly scrounge up as much money as I can to see as many shows as possible - and with the best seats possible. Janie - my brother just moved back to Seattle; so that gives me a good reason to fly out from CT and join you and KG in the Lerxst Lover Front Row Posse!! (I can just see it now... "Hey Bro - want to go to the Rush concert with me? BTW - you'll have to sit by yourself somewhere, 'cuz I'm in the front with all the Lerxst Lovers!!")

1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I'd rather they work on a new album rather than tour for the third consecutive year. I honestly don't need to see them again until they have new material to promote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in that same minority. Yes, I love Rush and everything Rush, but the guys need a year off. And, whoever labeled this as their "farewell" tour, Yes are still touring. 5-6 years older than the boys. Go figure - maybe it's due to lineup changes.

I'm sure he wouldn't object to three women in front of him flirting, dancing, singing and having a good time. Agreed! Although I concur about the bank account still smarting after the last 2 summers . . .we kinda figured we could go a little crazy in '08 b/c we'd have a few years to recoup If they do head back out on the road this summer, I wonder what the impetus will be? A few songs released online only? B-sides? Switching sides on the stage? It would be odd, to say the least, for them to simply hit the road just for the sake of touring. Clearly, if talks currently are underway, they must have some idea/plan. (I know this is going to turn into the inevitable, and perhaps - I'll grant you that - realistic theme of "money is what motivates us all." I've got no issue with that, honestly, but I think it is not what solely motivates Rush. A factor, of course, but not the factor.) KG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketom Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Exactly, They are not just going to do 1 show. If they did that it would probably be in Toronto. If they do in fact tour, they probably will do a B-side tour or how about an "Epics" tour, side 1 of "2112", "Hemispheres", "Cygnus X-1" "Camera Eye". That would be cool!
