YEAH - This was a night I will never forget. I flew in from Germany without a ticket and ended in the FRONT ROW of the Qwest Center. I bought the ticket on the street for 125. I'm a lucky bastard.

Whilst rockin' very hard Alex noticed my german flag and he mouthed: 'Where are you from?' I said or screamed: 'Germany' - when the boys came out for the encore Al threw me a 'Slobovich' shirt.

Totally digging your vibe - the Rushversary of the day I became a big Rush fan (9/2/10, Syracuse, NY show) is coming up in a week and a day...can't wait to start measuring my being a fan in years! WOOOHOOOOOOO! common001.gif cheer.gif icon_alienjig.gif bncegrn.gif

I cannot believe that was almost a year ago!

Last year on this day, I saw the Time Machine Tour at the MN State Fair on Alex's 57th birthday. It was the first time I'd seen them since the Moving Pictures Tour (in Indianapolis) and was as blown away as I was 29 yrs earlier.

 

Some video from that show:

 

My favorite clip...Alex during the encore of Working Man. Wow!

A year ago today, Rush rocked.....

I sure noted my "One year ago..." but didn't post anything. However, it was so awesome, why not do it belatedly, eh?!

 

August 16 and 18, 2010, Rush at Red Rocks. I took photos, no vids. Here are a few of my faves from those two amazing nights...Rock on!

yes.gif I was there too, on the 16th. Awesome images and you posted some fav moments that night.

The last 2 images show just how much brotherly love is between them, those were awesome moments..

I use a Canon PowerShot G7, set on "auto". The camera is amazing and makes me look like a photographer when I really just try to pick the moment and pull the trigger. Lots of photos from many Rush (and others) here:
