UltimoGuitarist Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 (edited) My old man saw them in '78 with Max Webster opening in Kingston Ontario. Just some random small venue. They played just about all of A Farewell to Kings. I'll dig up the setlist. EDIT: Here it is... Bastille Day Lakeside Park By-Tor and the Snow Dog (abbreviated)-> Xanadu A Farewell to Kings Something For Nothing Cygnus X-1 Anthem (dropped from 12/10/77, 2/17 & 2/23/78 shows) Closer To The Heart 2112 (minus Oracle) Working Man Fly by Night In The Mood Drum Solo Encore: Cinderella Man Edited July 6, 2012 by UltimoGuitarist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transcendent Pilgrim Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 QUOTE (JohnnyBlaze @ Jul 5 2012, 02:09 AM) QUOTE (Transcendent Pilgrim @ Jul 5 2012, 02:27 AM) Nov in San Jose will be my first. I've been a fan since 1980 but it seems like every tour something comes up that keeps me from going. Hell it's already started this time. Shortly after I learned the tour dates my wife lost her job. Don't care though. I'm going to this show even if it means going solo due to lack of funds. How many more chances am I likely to get? That sucks man. You will go to a Rush gig. It is your destiny. Yes I will, this year. Already worked it out with the wife. We are going to scrimp and save so that she can go see her favorite - Pat Benatar, and I can see .

capoetc Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 QUOTE (Merely Space @ Jul 3 2012, 06:00 PM) June 8th, 1984 at the Astrodome. I believe they reference it as a disastrous attempt to play to a larger than normal audience before the success of the Rush In Rio concerts. In retrospect, the sound quality was dicey. But, it was a Texxas Jam with Gary Moore, Bryan Adams, Ozzy Osbourne, 38 Special, and Rush. That was good enough for me. Hey, I thought I recognized you ... I was there too! My first Rush show was at the Hollywood Sportatorium in Florida, Signals tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytserush Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Marillion opened with Misplaced Childhood March 31, 1986 at the Meadowlands. Wish I'd seen those Radio City shows in mid-September 1983. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was 13 and just in awe of it all. I had the crappiest seats all the way in the rear of the arena....but it did not matter. This was my first rock concerts ever to boot. I will never forget it. I don't remember some of it....but I do remember certain things. Like the ho hum crowd reaction to all the stuff off Signals and anytime Geddy would say here is a new one off Signals and the groaning from some people around me...I was like WTF are you crazy??? This is amazing stuff!!! And TCE being played at an insane pace....like they were on cocaine! Anyway great times. Ahhhh The Hollywood Sportatorium. These were my first two shows and I was 17 at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark_L Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 September 10, 2002 in Edmonton. I was 14 years old and had been listening to Rush for only a few months. Of course, that show cemented Rush fandom for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CygnusGal Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 February 24, 1983, Veterans Memorial Coliseum, Phoenix, AZ on the Signals tour. Golden Earring opened - good band. It was my very first concert for any band. My mother dropped off a friend and me and his mother picked us up. We were 15. 30 years ago during these very months, I was discovering the catalog through ESL and still couldn't stop playing MP on my Sanyo portable cassette player. "That bass is the coolest sound I've ever heard in my life", I recall thinking. Love at first listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushajax Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 At the mecca...Cobo Hall - Detroit December 1977 with Max Webster. I'm still upset my parents wouldn't let me go to the only concert they had in my hometown of Windsor in 1975. I was too young for drug-induced rock music.

Cygnus 2112 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) September 30, 2012 is going to be my first show. RUSH played at my friends Mom's high school grad in 73 and she left the dance early because she couldn't stand Geddys voice.
