Detroit kicked some serious a$$

Yes, it did. This is my second ever concert, as well as my second at The Palace. By far the best Tuesday night of my life!

 

It was well past two in the morning by the time my crew got back home, and I was very ready to sleep, but I wouldn't have spent that day any other way. I was in the company of fellow Rush fans, and Rush itself. I was able to cast out all my worries and non-Rush-related business from my mind for a time. I was truly wrapped up in it.

 

Unfortunately, I have had to miss some school, but I don't exactly mind. (Hey, it's early in the year, and I'm a Senior. No problem.) Rush is worth it. heart.gif

***Title need to be updated with ****SPOILERS****

I was at this show last night, but there are some still waiting to be surprised at their 1st show of this tour....
Just remember to be respectful.

~carry on....

The whole "On The Lighted Stage" section is designated as *spoiler* so I don't why its necessary to be redundant. I think its kind of expected. huh.gif

 

 

 

A few hours later, still letting it sink in. Still feel blessed just to still be hearing new Rush music and see them performing so well this late in their careers.

 

How the heck do three guys make such loud, flawless noise.

Not Untrue.... however, this would be acceptable without specifics. With specifics like song titles, "spoiler" is required.

 

Consistency is required.

I don't know if this person got sticks or not, but that's hilarious.

LMAO. That is the greatest thing I have ever seen. The world MUST know of this picture!

 

Btw, I had two friends that went to the Detroit show. They said they ROCKED THE HOUSE.

This was a great show. To me though the crowd seemed dead after subdivisions. They really awoke with The Analog Kid and Alex's solo. After that I thought the crowd was pumped the rest of the show.

I agree with others on this board, Headlong Flight is epic live. The crowd went INSANE for this one. Carnies really killed live as well. To me that was the best part of the concert, the whole clockwork angels setlist. The only song I really didn't care for live was wish them well. Would of loved to of heard 7cog.

A song that's not getting alot of love on this board is Where's my thing. I thought they killed that song live. It was one of the best songs of the night for me.

So best song's of the night for me was Analog Kid,Where's my thing?,Clockwork Angels set,YYZ, Tom Sawyer,2112. Awesome show!

Don't think he did get sticks. He was directly in front of me but I never saw him get the hand-off of a set of tooth-picks from Gump. Alex tossed his first set pick right at me but it sailed just past my feeble eyes and landed two rows behind. I pointed it out to a young man who had not seen it land and he crouched down to grab it. It turns out that he was there on his 16th birthday. Nice b-day gift from Lerxst, eh! Immortal and I had an amazing view of Geddy all night. The show was right up there with the best I've seen. Ged's voice is in fine form and all of the material with strings was really special. I'm not sure how I'll survive without another Rush fix until November... Rock on!

 

One of the shots here has the kid's sign from behind as he is holding it up in front of me....

Awesome Pics!!!

 

The concert was so amazing, they rocked so hard. I was beside myself with excitement and joy...maybe that's why the row was so crowded! LOL

 

I was right across from Ged's mic, and I hardly took my eyes off of him the whole night. I'm a grown woman, but I have the biggest crush on Geddy Lee. eyesre4.gif (And have had since 1983 cool.gif )

 

Thanks to Mr. Ackman for the great ticket!! 1022.gif applaudit.gif

I was in the second row in front of Geddy and I was physically exhausted by shows end from the excitement and how hard the show ROCKED!!!! 1022.gif What a fantastic show! The energy was unbelievable! My head has been swarming with the images and music for two days!

 

PS It was hilarious when Geddy dismissed the strings ensemble by saying something to the effect of we will say "A farewell to strings" rofl3.gif

Did anyone at the Detroit show, by any chance, happen to witness a fight breaking out towards the very end of Working Man? Apparently there was a slew of rows that got knocked over towards the front, stage left.

Stage left or house left? I was in row 3 of stage left (house right) and nothing like that went on around us. We did have a slightly dwunk fan in front of us faint when the show started and that knocked over some chairs but he was righted and managed to stand his ground for the duration of the show. I'm sure happy that it didn't go on around me. I had such a wonderful time it would have been a real drag to have a fight harsh my Geddy buzzz, dude....

the show was really great. i just wish it would been the A setlist instead of B, but no big deal!

 

i think i need to sit my husband down and tell him that i can no longer go to Rush concerts with him. laugh.gif he was totally against going to the pre-show meet up, and was getting mad that i brought up that i wanted to attempt to sneak up closer. i think my love of Rush is stronger than his, and it's interfering with my good time. it's just frustrating, because he absolutely refuses to let me go alone, because apparently i can't take care of myself(dude, i'm 5'10, 200lbs., no one is going to mess with me! laugh.gif). so the next time a tour rolls around, i'm going to have a talk with him about how i want to experience Rush live.

 

besides that, i had a great time. i cried my eyes out during Analog Kid, and sung my heart out during the CA suite. just wish i could've enjoyed it with more people. everyone around me looked bored. lol
