Serviette Onion Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Here is something that is LONG OVERDUE....How about a Rush concert at yankee Stadium next Summer? That would be- as Geddy said at the end of the 2011 leg of the Time machine Tour- f*ckin' GREAT!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I doubt they would sell enough tickets to justify a stadium show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While Rush doesn't play in little pubs and such as some of the once famous bands from the 70s and 80s, I doubt Rush could sell that many tickets. Rush is somewhere in between that around 10,000 or so crowds, which is amazing given how long they have been around for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketom Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Not gonna happen. Roger Waters is bringing back The Wall shows in baseball stadiums next summer. That will be Cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeaveMyThingAlone Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 There are only a handful of bands that could successfully play stadiums and sell enough tickets. A Pink Floyd reunion would do it...the Rolling Stones...U2...ummmm...can anyone else think of anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presto123 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 U2 are the most over-rated band in the history of rock. I even like them but I still think that's a fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
go2wrk@95974 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I doubt if it'll happen...it's possible..but, I don't think so. VERY few band's can play huge stadium's now-a-days. Clapton,The Stones,McCartney, and Floyd, are probably the only ones who could pull it off now,Imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I think that Rush could come damn close to selling out New Yankee Stadium. Hell I would fukking fly there for that show and I hate the Yankees!!! If the boys can sell out two shows at Red Rocks, I am sure they could take care of business in New York. Forget about the "Clockwork Angels" Tour being there. Just wait until Rush does the ultimate KISS move and announce their A FAREWELL TO KINGS 2015 TOUR!! The Final TOUR!!! Forget Radio City Music Hall, Yankee Stadium will be packed for that last gig. Then the band will head up north and perform their last show ever at the Rogers Centre. Geddy will get to play his last Rush gig where the Blue Jays play. Wendy and I will be there for that one too. After the show of a lifetime we will meet many of you at The Orbit Room. Been there and done that before on R30. One of the greatest times we have ever had! RUSH ON FOREVER! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have to be a one off show of some sort, not part of a tour. Even that probably couldn't do it. But I think an arena is big enough.

Oracle Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Couldn't see this happening. An outdoor venue like Red Rocks is perfect for them at this point. It's not like they're Pink Floyd or The Rolling Stones. Though I would love to see them do a stadium show (outside of Brazil), I don't think we'll see it happen.

sanzo Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Do we still agree at least that Rush are better performers than the bands mentioned even if they couldnt sell as many tickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushIslander Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 They had no problem selling out MSG this past April, and the house went NUTS! If Clockwork Angels ROCKS, and perhaps with a few classic nuggets in the set list, Rush can easily fill Yankee Stadium IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madison Square Garden probably seats less than 20,000 for a concert. Yankee Stadium probably seats over 40,000 for a concert. I love Rush, but the demand ain't there.

Yeah, but remember the Tri~State area around NYC had multiple shows at Jones Beach & PNC with full houses throughout 2010~11, and STILL sold out MSG , and it was a blast! If CA ROCKS, they can record their DVD at the House that Ruth built...well, the new one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
