osage2112 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 In a nut shell: I'd likely end up going again, but not spending the big bucks like I did this tour. Pro: See RUSH every chance I get, cause there are only so many shows they will do from now until there end. Love the music Maybe they'll add "The Enemy Within" to the set! Con: Same set list would be a tad of a bummer Rolling the bones on the presale is not something I look forward too...my record is DISMAL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metaldad Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 They are not coming back with the same show agian , maybe they do M.P. agian but not the Same show . That would kill them at the box office Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxxiStarr Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Are you coming over to the UK to see them, Osage? I'm not sure they're going to do a second US leg of the tour if they are going to have CA out by the back end of next year (according to Ged it will be out near the end of 2011) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun3701 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 from the sound of it they're going to be touring Europe, I don't know if they'd do North America again. And in that case they would probably stick with the exact same setlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osage2112 Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 Hmm, to the UK for a RUSH show...that would fall under the PRO list!!! I missed it that the Spring tour would be yuropeean...dude, I just might be able to do that...on a budget! Osage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathers Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 I just wanna see them and as soon as pos. From what Geddy said the other night they are in the best form they've ever been in so that will be some show irrelevant what material they choose.

To them It's really all about giving love to their fans, brah, as they've been doing forever. Money s tertiary, dude. Just go and bathe in the glowing love.

wrekinboy Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Apparently they won't be touring in the US for at least another two years. The schedule is to do a world tour, covering Europe, some other places they have never visited or not been to for a while, mixed in with finishing the album and a long break in the middle of the world tour to get back home and see family etc. Sources close to the band say they are done with the US for the near future. They realise they have neglected other markets and its time to strike while they are in the ascendant. The worry is that due to previous exposure they won't fill US venues to the same extent that they will in other, carefully selected, countries. IMHO they are probably fed up with seeing the same US number plates in the first few rows and want a fresh crowd reaction and a bit of variety, goddammit! Probably not Australia though - Ged said at the London Q and A that it is just too far away. And on the Planet Rock interview he effectively ruled out the 'several nights at smaller venue' option too, when asked about Hammersmith in London. Although again IMHO that would be a great place to do a DVD, on the back of the third disc on 'Different Stages'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osage2112 Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 Heyyyyyy, my plate said YYZ for the last two tours...and it was held up by 6 different people in the 2nd row both times...considering I utilized two up front seats between six folks, that spreading the wealth and variety. I wish they would do a small venue...advertise day of show, and blow the crowd away. That would be so RUSH. Osage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osage2112 Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 I agree, the money is the same for them, no matter how many hands the tickets pass through. It's the end buyer that gets stuck paying $$$ for a seat worth a third of that. I'd like to see ONE artist (and RUSH has the heart to do it) take all scalpers out of the process. Yeah, ticket sales would have to be draconian...but aren't we worth it? Osage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun3701 Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 yeah I think it's pretty safe to say they're not going to be touring in the US until after Clockwork Angels is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 If - and it's a big "if" - they toured the US again prior to the release of Clockwork Angels, I would go as long as I didn't have to travel a ridiculous distance. Even with minimal changes to the setlist, it would be worth it to me. Live Rush is live Rush, and there are not going to be too many more chances to experience that phenomenon.

I wasn't able to make it down to GA this year, so I'm holding out hope for a 2nd small US run just to hit the cities missed last year. Nashville, TN misses you Rush!!!

Anyhoo, if Rush tour the UK next year and if I get a ticket and if I'm down near teh front, ANYBODY brandishing a number plate will find themselves with a funky new necklace PDQ.

GuitarPlyr01 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 The only thing that doesn't make sense about NOT doing US dates next year- Why play in Europe for about a month or two (max) and be done? Going back out for a short period like that doesn't seem feasible to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That One Guy Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I would like to see MP full again. And a couple songs dropped in favor of others. I loved seeing Counterparts stuff, but swap it for Jacob's Ladder, Entre Nous, Territories, Force Ten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micgtr71 Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 If they come back to the US, I am not sure what I would do. If the setlist is exactly the same I would probably go, but I would sit on the lawn (if at spac) or in the cheaper seats like I did and the NYS Fair. I don't think that I could miss them if they came to town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReflectedLight Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 no dilemma for me. if they went around again in the US, the only way i would go is if there was a major revamp of the setlist. no chance of that happening. so i'm just going to wait until the next big tour.
