I NEVER want to see anyone open for Rush. They already play 3 Hours of music, and everyone still bitches about all the songs they leave off the setlist! If they played with an opening band, way too many songs would get cut out, and that would just plain suck. So yeah, NO NO NO...for opening bands!

What if they had an opening act and STILL played a full, 3 hour set? I would want Primus.

They play too long to suffer thru an opening act. even if it were Tool.

I pretty much agree with this guy here. NO f***ing OPENING ACT. I HATE opening acts. I don't care if it's PT or DT or even f*ckin Emerson Lake and Palmer. It's a RUSH concert, so it should only be RUSH!

Then I'd want a fourth hour instead!   Absolutely no opening bands...and I don't care which ones! I never want any, it would be a waste of my ticket money.

I'm not so sure? With escalating ticket prices I might like a little extra bang for my buck, especially if they rolled back the start time and maintained the same show length. Red Rocks starts at 8pm--I love to see Animals as Leaders for 45 minutes (starting at 7) and Rush starting at 8. Why the F not?

Oh lawdy, you'd have thought the question was...do you have an open mind.

 

I love the "full RUSH" format, but would have liked to see this topic be more of a discussion rather than a cause.

 

Thanks for the responses.

It sucks because Primus is one of my favorite bands but I saw Candlebox for my CP show (they alternated openers I guess).
