Chrysalii Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Here in Central NY...it's pouring, and has been pouring nonstop since 6. and it's all moving east, so...I get to experience the same rain twice. so...if you see someone in a black jacket that has a small McLane logo on the front, that's me. (it's the logo of the company I work for, it has a triangle overlaping another triangle on it above the word McLane, we got it for 4 million safe hours, and only our division got them, I'm the only one going, so it's unique). That's all the rain gear I have (and it's just a light jacket). I have far more snow gear. I desperately just wanted to wear jeans and a t-shirt, but it just had to rain. Still haven't decided when I'm leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeddyRulz Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 We're getting quite a deluge here in the Capital Region this afternoon. Time-wise, I should be there when the gates open at 6:30, so I'll have time for mechandise, meeting my high school chums, and stopping to see the TRF gang, too. That is... if the TRF gang is hanging out on the lawn by the middle bridge tonight in RAIN. Let's hope it stops. PSYCHED for the show, though!

GeddyRulz Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I'm thinking they have no problem with cell phones, so long as they're set to "vibrate" instead of ring. That's what I'm counting on, anyway, since I'll have MY cell, too. BTW Jill, that number is 518-859-8368, in case you need it while we're roaming the grounds tonight. And it looks like the rain is coming down more gently than it was when I last posted. http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/wink.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddyRulz Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Rain has stopped, but still scattered showers in the forecast for tonight, possibly lightning. I'll be leaving soon to do a few errands and then straight to the venue... Enjoy! Hope to see some of you there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Money Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Sorry I didn't see any of you there. We didn't get there till like 7:50. It was a great show though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micgtr71 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Fantastic show! Front row center of the balcony. This was by far the best seat I have ever had (including few rows back Ged's side). I could see everything and hear everything perfectly. My 11 year old was ecstatic-still is this morning. He exclaimed as we walked to the parking lot, "That was awesome-I got to see Witch Hunt live!"

This hasn't happened before, but I nearly cried when they hit the stage and while they were playing the first half of "Spirit of Radio." I love these guys so much, I thought. I'm so proud to be a Rush fan, to have been a big Rush fan all these many years, and proud that "I get it." I love them. These are my heroes, both musically and on a personal level. Sorry I missed everyone at SPAC. I arrived an hour later than I had hoped - 7:30 instead of 6:30 - and just didn't have the time to do everything I wanted to do before showtime.

J2112YYZ Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 It was and awesome show!! 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. Despite that the venue has a really cool setup to it. I had never been there before and will definitely go back there again if I have the chance again. It was very cool to hear TSS, Marathon and TCE for the first time live. I've seen them seven times now and it's cool to see that they'll still do a few I haven't heard before. Presto was a highlight for me. I've always liked it a lot and it was awesome to see them play it live. 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. Another cool thing was since it was a gloomy day and the venue's stage is set up to where a lot of sunlight can't really get in we got the full light show with everything. Instead of having most of the first set while the sun is still out. I don't know how they keep doing it but I hope they continue to for as long as they can. They're both phenomenal and flawless live.

I don't remember which song it was, but I noticed Geddy was essentially THRUSTING his pelvis, electric bass in front of it, at those in the front row.

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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
