I paid for 2 tickets to see Rush this October. To hear they're going to bring a mini orchestra is incredible! I think this is a superb idea! I know there is a poll on where they should be placed during the concerts but I am still worried about them playing too much. I know Rush will do a great job in making sure they don't get overshadowed by the strings but I'm still a little iffy about bringing other musicians to play with them on their tour... I kind of feel like I just want to see Ged, Alex and Neil and those 3 only...

 

PS. This is my first post in this forum! smile.gif

Welcome to the Forum! trink39.gif

 

Oh, and yes...I am concerned about it taking over.

 

I would think they know their audience enough to know that most probably don't want a heavy use of it...especially on their classics.

 

I guess we'll have to see what happens!

You guys should relax. Rush knows what their fans like (and don't like) and this show will be spectacular. Don't kill your pre-concert buzz over a non-issue.

I have to think the strings will be used where appropriate, like during the CA songs that use them, and the older songs that use them.

 

Marathon

Manhattan Project

Losing It

 

That's all I can think of right now.

yes.gif exactly! I'm sure they will be used only when needed.

Don't worry, the concert will rock!

I have zero doubt about that.

 

I totally expect these concerts to rock hard...as usual! 1022.gif

I'm not a big fan of them taking a string section along with them, but it's not going to keep me from going to as many shows as I can. no.gif

I just don't see Rush bringing a string orchestra of any kind. They will use programing and keys like they always do. If I am wrong I will be as surpised as the rest of you. I just see anyone other than Rush palying at a Rush show.

They've already announced they are bringing a string section. It's a done deal.

First of all,

 

Welcome to the forum. trink39.gif Second, I think it's awesome that they are adding a new dimension on this tour. I have complete faith the strings will not be over done. 2.gif

since they made up their mind with the orchestra, at least fill the orchestra with good looking women, preferably blondes in short skirts. tongue.gif

i say keep the orchestra backstage and channel the sound out to the stage when needed and maybe you can put the orchestra on the video screen. tongue.gif

Yes, please.... smile.gif

Welcome to the Forum, I too was a bit concerned that they would add string to everything. However, its RUSH they know what they are doing as evident by Clockwork Angels use of Strings. It will be fine as long as they:

 

Keep strings on songs which have strings already!
