thing2jordan Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 My tickets say 8:00, but other sources say 7:30. Which is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Snowdog Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 The venue website also says 8:00....where have you seen 7:30? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 As far as I have always understood, and going by what's on the ticket, it's 8:00. Allow for the fact that the band generally starts a little later than that to make sure any latecomers get a chance to get in, and I'm guessing we are looking at 8:15-8:20. I'll be there much earlier, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you can't just leave it at that! Tell us about yourself, and how as a non-fan you happened to find yourself at a Rush concert? Â And welcome!

yoyo Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Thank you. My BIL is a long time fan - he's seen them every time they've come to Atlanta. This year I agreed to go with him (with our wives). I'm 50+ yo, so I've been aware of them since their earliest hits. Like lots of people, I couldn't get past Geddy's voice and never became a fan, although I did appreciate the music. Well, the production last night was so tight, the musicianship outstanding, and Geddy's voice not as piercing as it was 30+ years ago, the obvious pleasure the band derived from performing, made for a tremendously enjoyable night. I went to bed and woke up this morning thinking about the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You ought to be able to catch at least one more tour, since they've committed (well, mostly) to hitting the road again next year after the album's released. Â I highly recommend the documentary Beyond The Lighted Stage. I'm sure your brother-in-law has a copy - of not, they aren't expensive or hard to find. It's a "must-see" for any Rush fan, but it's a fantastic intro to the band for a new fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw the documentary earlier this year. It really served to ramp up my interest. Looks like I'll be buying some CD's and/or DVD's soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush Cocky Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Turns out the start time ended up being 8:15. Which at first made me  But then rumor circulated through the crowd that they were having trouble with traffic, which I can understand.....it's Atlanta! And then I was a lot more forgiving. But I was on pins and needles with excitement up until that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure I should have headed up there sooner but I was so glad they started the show a little late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
