OK my mind is a bit blurry but I believe it was November 84' Hampton Va Hampton Coliseum. The Grace Under Pressure Tour

 

Say can someone send to a site where I can find out the exact date and playlist of that show? That would be great.

 

Peace

August 23, 2010

Charter One Pavilion

 

I almost didn't see them this time around. I had bought tickets to see Eric Johnson, Andy McKee, and Peppino D' Agostino the night before I had bought the Rush tickets. My dad had asked where I bought the EJ tickets and then told me that Rush had rescheduled their second show in Chicago because of rain. I figured that it would be sold out due to the fact that the folks who had tickets for the 7/7 show would be honored at the new date. So for the hell of it I checked TicketBastard and sure enough, found two seats at the back of the venue and snagged them up. $50 a piece. Great show, great venue, even better band! I'm hoping to catch them at the United Center 4/12

Saw them for the first time on the second show of this tour. On October 20th at the HSBC arena in Buffalo, NY. That's also my older brothers birthday and he's a huge Rush fan like me. A birthday that just can never be topped for him.

 

The set was the same. Glad I got to hear Time & Motion before they dropped it new_thumbsupsmileyanim.gif

 

Awesome show with a great setlist 1022.gif

Seattle Coliseum, June 18 1981. Same set list as the Anaheim June 16 bootleg more or less (for those not familiar with that, then just go with Exit Stage Left album and video combination with a few more thrown in like Hemispheres:Armaggeddon, Vital Signs, Natural Science, and the 2112 Overture/Temples intro to the show.

HYF - November 14, 1987 "The Aud" (Buffalo Memoreal Auditorium) - I think that place is gone now..


Harvey, Corky & Tice present RUSH!!! Remember when the tickets named the local producers, once upon a time they didn't all say "Ticketbastard"

Oh yes... those were the days! old.gif laugh.gif

 

I think our tickets for the Moving Pictures show were around $10. ph34r.gif

I looked at the stub to see how much this show was, but the price was at the end of the stub that was ripped off. This was before the bar codes and they ripped the end off the ticket when you went in the venue. The Aud was a hockey venue and I do remember that our seats were way up high in the top level. The boys were so far away they looked like little barbie dolls, but it was LOUD!

Hello Rush forum-ites, I have been lurking here a while and really appreciate the site. Thought this might be a good place to start with first post so...

 

first concert : October 25, 1975 Civic Center Amarillo, Texas with Ted Nugent.

 

Memory is a bit foggy but I think Nugent opened the show, my friends were really exited to see him, me not so much, I had already been listening to Caress of Steel

 

tongue.gif . I think this posted set list is very close

Bastille Day

Anthem

Lakeside Park

The Necromancer

By-Tor & The Snow Dog

Working Man

Drum Solo

In The Mood

 

Tickets were around $7, no seating on the floor so we were up front. I understand this is now referred to as the "down the tubes" tour but I thought they were the most amazing band I had ever seen. I was in a lucky place to see them because over the next 2 years I saw them four more times, and have seen them at least twice a decade since then.

It was very hot that day, and Cal Expo was a crappy dustbowl of a place. But we went with our three good friends Larry Scott and Dave. That made it all very interesting. The Rabbits!!
