We had to travel through a blizzard to get there, it was awesome!!! Gah! If only I had been born 24 years earlier- I could've gone to that show!!!

beherit Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 QUOTE (Curly @ Jun 26 2012, 09:03 AM) 1977, I think it was May. Rush, Styx, Starcastle and Max Webster. I still have the ticket stub somewhere. Cost of ticket........$5 hahaha Starcastle! I got one of their records on vinyl for 80 cents I think...one of the biggest Yes rip-offs I ever heard

I was 15 and just finished 9th grade. It's unthinkable to me that in four days, it'll be 20 years on from then. Never mind. I'm confusing this with the Presto show I saw there.

Scottishdood Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 June 1980 at the Legendary Glasgow Apollo where we were the famous Glasgow Chorus on Closer to the Heart!

Found a bootleg, albeit a strange sounding one, to enjoy tonight just in time for the 20th anniversary
Drumnut Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 November 29, 1982 Capital Centre -- Largo, Maryland (Rory Gallagher) My ticket was $11.50, the tour book I bought, which I still have, was $10.00 and my t-shirt was $12.00.
tikabear Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Signals Tour - October 19, 1982 - Rory Gallagher opened. Blew this 15 year old away! I had just gotten into Rush and unfortunately missed the Moving Pictures tour. Still remember Countdown. Awesome!
2112th Man Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Grace under Pressure... The Omni... Atlanta. Would've caught the Signals tour but had to get my wisdom teeth pulled...
liddybuck01 Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 mine was in 2008 in Detroit. i was 21. i had only just became a fan about a year earlier. the tickets were a wedding present from my in-laws. not only do i wish i had discovered Rush when i was younger(since i actually got into Fleetwood Mac when i was 13), but i wish so very badly that i could time travel back to see Rush on all of the different tours they've done. kind of heartbreaking.
NYM86 Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 2008 in Jones Beach, NY. Looking back, it wasn't one of Geddy's stronger vocal nights. Still a fantastic show.

The Gorsk Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 My first Rush show was September 25, 1980 @ The Spectrum -- Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
jjgittes Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 First RUSH live show: Rush & UFO - Santa Monica Civic Auditorium (Santa Monica, CA) - October 2, 1977 Setlist: Bastille Day Lakeside Park By-Tor And The Snow Dog Xanadu A Farewell To Kings Something For Nothing Cygnus X-1 Anthem Closer To The Heart 2112 Working Man Fly By Night In The Mood Drum Solo Encore: Cinderella Man
Merely Space Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 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.
rushpepe Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 1977-Rush and BOC (Blue Oyster Cult). Rush was the opening act and BOC couldn't compare. They were good but Rush was better and rocked the house out.
chasboland Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 First show sept.15 1984 Glens falls NY. 24 shows to date with Chicago and Newark soon to be added to the list. Man, I must gettin fargin old.
Transcendent Pilgrim Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 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?
