Tour info/rumors from RIAB

Yay more useless news from RIAB. So we already knew they were planning a fall tour. Pretty sure most of us knew they wouldn't be playing outdoor shows in the fall/winter. >_> And yeah those are public interviews that they did about the orchestra. I cant stand that site. They rarely post anything that isnt a rumor or common knowledge already.

 

Wow, I couldn't disagree more. He's the best source of Rush information (including the band) around. He was the first to share information about CA artwork and about the listening party for radio execs.

 

Useless news ? For anyone who values their time, its an awesome site.

I'm happy with the Indoor shows. Better climate control and the stage show and lighting looks a lot better. As for the Orchestra, I don't think they are necessary. There's only two songs I can think of that an Orchestra could compliment: Marathon and Losing It. That's it. Other than that, its a waste. Unless there are songs on CA that would sound good.

You never know, maybe there is alot of Orchestration in CA? Regardless, I don't really care, they can do what ever makes them happy, cause seeing them live makes me happy!

The orchestra connection, from something that was said two years ago, is a bit of a stretch. Wouldnt put any stake in that.

...and if by some chance they do some dates with an orchestra, I sure as heck wouldnt pay to see that...

1. I saw Page and Plant with an orchestra, and it f*ckin' rocked! No reason why it couldn't work for Rush if done right. And Geddy wouldn't have to play keys at all, if he didn't want to!

 

2. I am sick of seeing them outdoors on oppressively hot summer nights when it's still light out, so all indoors is good news to me.

 

3. All indoors BECAUSE of an orchestra doesn't make sense to me, because orchestras play out doors all the damn time. I think interpreting a desire to play indoor shows as meaning they'll be with an orchestra is reaching a bit.

[HemispheresserehpsimeH]

I don't really know what to think of an idea like that. I think it could be interesting, but at the same time, I love seeing Rush as a regular 3-piece band. I'm not gonna piss my pants like some people here, but I still hope it's not true.

I'll never understand this attitude towards RIAB. Ed isn't attempting to pass off any of this info as fact. Unless otherwise stated, he's clearly stating that the rumors are just that -- rumors. He hears these rumors from sources who have fed him info in the past, and all he's doing is passing them along for your consideration. It's up to you to speculate on their validity, or to blow them off if you want. He's just a messenger, and he isn't claiming otherwise.

Marathon and Losing It? How about Manhattan Project. The strings in that ARE actually live orchestra.

a night with rush and the harlem choir.

they can help geddy sing side 1 of hemispheres and all the early stuff he can't sing anymore.

[FountainOfSyrinx]

Seems quite unpopular...

 

as for ME, i don't know what to think of it.

For those of you that want this , keep in mind how much tickets will be.

Everyone bitched about the price last year and that was about $125-140 for the floor. Do you know how much it takes to ship all these extra people and gear around the u.s. ? You are looking at almost $200 for the floor. Not me

[presto123]

Don't know about Rush but Moody Blues are actually better with an orchestra than without. I get chills with Moodies and an orchestra but of course they are not a heavy band either.

Thats not it at all They will forward the music to every date and use a local Symphony! it will cost them $10,000 -$15,000 tops per show if that!

I doubt they would bring an orchestra with them. Usually in these situations, the orchestra they play with is a local one for each venue.

Knowing the perfectionists Rush are, this would never work.

Yep...great point.

 

Prices will indeed go through the roof.

 

Like I said, just the 3 guys on stage doing what they do is really all I care to pay for.

Big deal if things aren't always accurate!   He uses the term "rumor" all through his website. Nothing is set in stone. Like 73 said, he's simply the messenger.   One thing is for sure...RIAB is a much better source than Rush.com. I go to RIAB more than I ever will to Rush.com.

This has absolutely nothing to do with CA. RIAB LOVES attention so they post this crap all the time. That interview Geddy gave was just talking about something brought up to him, something he wouldnt mind trying if they had the chance, and Geddy said in the interview it hasnt worked out.

 

Dont know what anyone is getting fired up about. They arent Metallica. They arent doing a massive tour with a huge orchestra. If they did it wouldnt be in support of a new album. It doesnt make any sense to drag an orchestra around the country for the CA tour. If they were to do it, it would be some sort of filler tour after CA is history.
