My first show will be April 17 of this year. I can't say much about it right now. I'm keeping the setlist a surprise until I get to the show. I know the discography so well that I'll know what songs are playing very quickly. tongue.gif

 

Ask me in another three months. I'll have my first ever concert of any kind and my first ever Rush concert. And I've only been a Rushian for a year. God, I'm so behind on the times. What a naive whippersnapper I am. laugh.gif

First show was April 20, 2008 in New Orleans. It was originally going to be on April 19 but since the New Orleans Hornets had a playoff game to play that night the concert was moved.

 

My 2nd show was September 25, 2010 in Houston.

 

And my 3rd will be this summer on June 10 when Rush return to New Orleans! smile.gif

August 5, 2010 at USANA Amphitheater in SLC. Fantastic show even from the lawn section. Wanting many more shows to come before Geddy's voice self-destructs. I don't think there'll be much left after a Clockwork Angels Tour.

Power Windows tour in Greensboro, NC on April 22, 1986 at Greensboro Coliseum with Blue Oyster Cult opening.

 

This upcoming tour will be the first time since that concert that they've played the Greensboro Coliseum.

Hallam FM Arena, Sheffield, 6/10/07

 

A bit too much S&A material for my first Rush show, like I could have been doing with a broader range of material.

 

Next time I see them there, it will be the Motorpoint Arena.

June 13, 2007 at the Hi-Fi Buys Amphitheatre in Atlanta. Coincidentally, it was the first show of the Snakes and Arrows tour.

 

Which brings to mind this question... out of all of the TRFers in my age range (let's say 15 to 21), am I the only one to have seen Rush in 2007 and/or to have discovered them before then? I don't want to act like a hipster, but it seems like everyone my age just got into Rush in the past year or so.
