metaldad Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 They should dump all the Laser/ video screens and just play, with Drums and Amps and Guitars. That is all i need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I don't know if they've dumped the lasers. But those LED things are the shizznit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 (edited) No lasers at all this tour. Honestly I didn't miss them. There's plenty of other stuff going on and it wasn't a letdown for me that they weren't done. Plus it's not 1980 anymore so the lasers aren't as cool now Edited December 14, 2010 by J2112YYZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnus_thegodofbalance Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 The lights during Vital Signs beat anything the lasers could have offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard dropped the lazers for the TM tour, simply because he was tired of using them. He brought in a lot of other new fixtures & different types of lighting to give him the affects he wanted to achieve. In fact, this is the most elaborate lighting rig that Rush has ever had. While I'm somewhat biased, IMO, visually, it's the most phenomenal Rush show I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is all i need Exactly. Frankly think the lasers are cheesy as all hell. I'd like them to go back to the stage show they had on the MP/Signals tours. Simple screen in the back and straightforward lighting. Edited December 14, 2010 by greg2112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derxst Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I think Dr. Evil finally got the lasers attached to the sharks heads. "Lasers" http://scienceblogs.com/bushwells/dr.evil.laser_lj.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvisibleAirwaves13 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 No lasers and they are not missed. The screens are awesome, the pyro is awesome and the lighting rig is uber awesome. Nuff said! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USB Connector Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 While I was kinda sad they didn't have the lasers for 2112, that spider-type light fixture blew me away. It was just an amazing light show. The only problem I saw was that the smoke machine inside the time machine wouldn't stop at the ACC at it looked like 1/4 of the stage was missing.

CMWriter Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 No lasers... ...But the other effects were so awesome, they didn't need lasers. The fire-cannon-things during "Caravan"? Holy COW were those awesome. I could feel them -- really feel them -- about halfway back (where I was). I actually jumped the first time they shot out. xD What was that big spider-looking thing? It was pretty neat. They brought it down once or twice, but I don't recall which songs. My only problem was that the forward lights prevented me from taking photos on my camera (bleh!). But that was my fault for not bringing a decent camera. =P Oh well, that's why there are 9000+ YT videos to screencap, hehehe. Oh, and: http://www.deviantart.com/download/116319949/imma_firin_mah_lazor_by_Amazondrag.gif IMMA FIRIN MAH LAZORRR.

shaun3701 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 the light show was definitely stunning, but I did miss the lasers. They've been around for at least 25 years... its the end of an era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital_Necromancer Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I thought the lights were awesome with out lasers. Lasers would be to much anyway considering theres a ton of strobes and led's all over the stage... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fonzbear2000 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 For me, a fancy light show is a great part of the experience of seeing Rush live so I would be quite upset if they dropped the lighting and went back to an early 80's type light show.
