NaturalScientist75 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Greeting follow TRF members dedicated enough, bold enough, crazy enough, etc. to venture to the Great Allentown Fair to see...RUSH Some of you (including myself) have expressed interest in meeting up with fellow TFR members before/at the show. I think it might be a good idea, especially for those of us who have been reading/replying to each others posts and have never met. I have been looking at the fair map, and I think a good place to meet up before the show if anyone is interested might be the Bier Garten in the northeast corner of the fairgrounds. Opens at 5 (according to what i've read) on the 31st. Might be a good place to meet so those who drink could partake, and those who don't just don't. Appears to be an outdoor patio that allows drinking within the Bier Garten also. Its on the fairgrounds and dosen't look like a far walk to the venue. And there is a good chance that night that many of those there will be there to see RUSH. If anyone is interested in meeting up there, or has a better plan, send a post of pm. Can coordinate by phone day of show, or people who are interested could just wear, bring, carry something with TRF on it if they want to be identified. No matter what, hope you all enjoy the show!

liddybuck01 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Anyone know the camera policy for this show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skier66 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Living in the Phila burbs for so many years I'm finally getting to see a show at this venue. Weather looks A+ for anyone sitting on the track (21 rows) with out cover. I drove by the place on Saturday, wow, small! Its an old race track surrounded by row homes. The neighbors will hear a great show! I can see why they only have shows for 1 week because of its location. I'll be in row 3 of 27 in the grandstand. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v187/curaPB/afg.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v187/curaPB/reserved_seating_chart.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v187/curaPB/afg2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yetidave Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I live in Allentown and this will be my first show at the fairgrounds. I went on Friday and picked up a pair of grandstand seats. There were only a few seats left so the nice lady at the ticket booth wrote the seats down on some scrap paper and told me to go in and sit in the seats available and tell which ones I wanted. Where does that happen? I went in and sat in a few seats. All I could think was "Rush is playing here?" LOL. I'd love to hear the conversation on the bus when the boys pull in and see where they'll be playing. I don't think there will be a bad seat in the house. http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/smile.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait. Hope to see some of you TRF members there. Probably stop the Bier Garten (at the fair and short distance from the venue) if I get there early enough. Gonna wear or carry something with "TRF" on it in case anyone wants to meet up. Hope everyone enjoys the show! 10 hrs left till...RUSH!!!!!!!! http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/new_thumbsupsmileyanim.gif http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/common001.gif http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/1022.gif http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/applaudit.gif http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/bekloppt.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of an extreme angle. Hopefully the view will at least be unobstructed since the track seats are uncovered. Damn ... feeling like I should have just resolved to go by myself early and grabbed a great seat.

NaturalScientist75 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 7 hours left... Great to see the hot tub finally starting to come alive... Should be an awesome show tonight for all. Will definitely look for those who provided descriptions. Trying to get to the Bier Garten by 5 or 6. I'll probably be wearing a plain colored t (possibly the shirt from the premium package) but will definitely try to have some TRF indicator (giant Neon sign flashing...or mabye just a post-it note). For those of you who arent pumped yet...get started...almost time...even the tumble weed from earlier posts should be excited by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaturalScientist75 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 theres 5 people in here now. I think thats the most since the hot tub started. BTW at work now and don't really care. Almost time to hit the road. Going to see this band tonight at the Allentown Fair. Small place so probably just a bunch of nobodys, but you never know what you'll find at a fair. What are you guys up to tonight? Should come to the Fair and check out this band. I heard they might be kinda good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarUnlitUnknown Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Show was awesome. I was way off to the side in the grandstand on Alex's side but it was all good. Would have rather stood but the crowd seemed to want to sit. This didn't really bother me though. Most everyone seemed completed riveted even if they were sitting. Seemed to be a very attentive and thoughtful crowd for the most part. Sound was great. Really liked Presto, Leave that Thing Alone, Marathon, the new stuff, and of course Moving Pictures. One cool moment was as YYZ was coming to a close, a fairly low-altitude plane went straight overhead (there's an airport in Allentown). I've seen them twice at Scranton (a larger venue) with better seats, and yet I thought the sound was better here (certainly better than the second Scranton show, which was the first leg of S&As).
