The only problem I had is that I was sitting on the far end of the stage on Geddy's side and the amps that were hanging there blocked my view as well as many other in that area from seeing the video screen. It was so good that I didn't even miss the videos at all. This was exactly my experience. Extreme Geddy's side, almost ALL THE WAY to that end of the stage, and I couldn't see more than a corner of the screen. QUOTE Even though the crowd didn't know everything, strange they seemed to die during TCE http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/confused13.gif, they still cheered very loudly after every song. Which I guess speaks to how good of performers they are that they can take an obscure song and still get loud applause after the song is done. Just goes to show. The crowd stood for EVERY SONG, even the ballads. There was never a song where the people said, "Aw hell, I'm sitting for this crap." This was actually a sticking point for my brother-in-law, who kept complaining that he wanted to sit. Where was your seat at? I was in the last seat of Row P in Section 6 it's possible we were near each other. I didn't notice anyone sitting either but if they did it wasn't for too long at all. Neil's solo is the only drum solo I know of that people stand up for and don't walk out and go to the concessions. It's almost as if you're walking out on God if you do that even though he doesn't believe in that stuff http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/laugh.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrysalii Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 tired...soo tired After about 3 hours of sleep on Thursday(mixture of excitement and heat.), then getting home at about quarter after 2 after the show. Driving drowsy, in the rain on the Thruway, started pouring when I got a few miles past Amsterdam, then poured strait until about Rome. I had to stop at a rest area about halfway through. Then accepting being the driver for a friend of mine's bachelor party last night (got home at about 4:30am) Easy driving thankfully, the Thruway is a very easy drive, especially at night when it's pretty much empty. so I may fall asleep by the end of this post. It went far better than I could have ever hoped (finally finding a Rush shirt, meeting up, finding the seat, driving, etc...). Good to meet everyone. Even the rain stayed away for just the perfect amount of time. Next time should be better now that I know what I'm doing. I was find standing the whole time, the only times I've stood at a concert for the whole time are when they're a part of a larger event (The free shows at the NYS Fair) First one, couldn't have asked for much more (except for a non-broken camera, it was working last week). Can't wait for the next one. now to get some sleep, sweet sweet sleep, it's a lot cooler up here now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
