Don't know the venue, but as long as it's on a weekend....road trip PARTY!!!

Try from Laredo Texas.

I saw Rush on the S&A tour in Austin. Evidently that was their first visit EVER to Austin. It was in the Frank Erwin Center but with the much smaller "theater configuration". I have seen a bunch of concerts there, and Rush was the only one in this smaller configuration (was not sold out, either). It is particularly nice as makes it a much smaller venue as they use only half the arena, essentially. This makes every seat an excellent vantage point. When I saw the current TMT tour here in Pittsburgh, PA, it was the normal "entire arena" configuration with a LOT more people than when in Austin on S&A. If your Austin gig again utilizes the "theater configuration", make sure you go. It is an AWESOME way to experience Rush. I promise you that. Edited December 6, 2010 by 01GT Eibach

Well worth the drive!

My guess is they will also be in Houston and Dallas in 2011.

 

01GT Eibach is absolutely right though. Seeing RUSH in a small setting like the Frank Erwin Center is Awesome.

 

[Rushchick10]

I shall be at the Austin gig. Probably gonna bring my son to this one as well.

[sullysue]

ANY reason to road-trip it to Austin is a good reason. I hope/wish I can make it if they do book an Austin gig. You hear that, Cygnalschick? I'll be knocking on yer door, ready to hit 6th Street!

 

 

[pony2112]

I've seen Rush several times in Austin.

[Good,bad,andrush]

I'm going with my band...

they love rush and yet they've never been to a concert of any band...

 

unfortunately, my guitarist's girlfriend/friend dragged him into watching some reggaeton artist in laredo...

 

wait, did I say artist? reggaeton is not art, sorry.

[Scottjf8]

I'll be there. Any idea when it is?

[tkdryan]

are the tickets on sale yet, im thinking road trip as well

[Xanadoood]

Cool city.

 

Very Liberal, unlike the rest of the state. My brother lives in Tyler, and they still think the Civil War is going on.

[osage2112]

Actually, Austin does suffer from this affliction...the rest of the state knows it and has decided to quarantine the place.

 

Go to Llano, Childress, Balmorhea, Pampa, Tennessee Colony...these are places where you know your neighbors and EXPECT decent behavior.

 

In Austin and the other Metro-hell holes of Texas...anonyimity allows people to follow the liberal line of "I get to do anything I wanna and the rest of you can just eat my shorts."

 

Yeah Austin is Liberal, it's also a festering sanctuary city full of crime and disgust.

 

Great for a good show, pitiful as a place to raise a family.

Who said anything about raising a family?

[osage2112]

True, for all the good fun wrapped into one...Austin is a pretty righteous place. My son is thinking of going to UT...sure hope he can handle the "distractions."

[safetygirl2112]

I shall MOST DEFINITELY be there!!! Venue and date will not be announced until after the new year, per RIAB.

Actually, Rush has been to Austin several times, but S&A was the first time they'd been here in a really long time. They played the Erwin Center on the "Power Windows", "Hold Your Fire", "Roll the Bones", and "Counterparts" tours. It was great to see them come back again. Can't wait to see them this year!

Maybe it was their first time in "ever" as opposed to first time ever. Between Counterparts and S&A was 15 years or so (right?) which is a very long time ... maybe that's what it was.   Also ... Austin in a fine place to raise a family. I lived there for a number of years with my family of five. Great schools.

I know a lot of people who would disagree strongly with that kind of blanket statement. Your comment shows me that living in the small towns in Texas is a great place to be small minded, too.

 

have a nice day.

[losingit2k]

I agree It's well worth the drive, but get there a day earlier so you could watch the bats fly out from under the bridge!

You must be joking. Austin is the only place to raise kids in the otherwise vast wasteland of concrete, dairy queens, and wal marts that is Texas.

 

You made yourself look very narrow minded there osage. I hope that was not your intent.

I was wondering if anybody noticed I did that. Austin is nice though. I haven't been to a lot of other towns but Bastrop, Brenham, and Lockhart are nice. There's a lot to see and do in the hill country.
