Lost In Xanadu Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 You can do it. It goes in waves for me. I get very excited and listen to a lot of Rush when I buy the tickets. Then after a week or so, it dies down, and then when the ticket arrives - it's full force again... I love seeing them at Summerfest. I love the sound in that amphitheater and especially during Summerfest. Only thing better is when they play during Festa Italiana... better food, less crowds on the grounds.

gangsterfurious Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) While I agree that Geddy's backside is a wonderful part of the show... He no longer wears leather pants or jumpsuits so tell your husband that's not the reason why! ;p I am so giddy that I get to see them again this summer, it is definitely going to be the highlight of any summer shows I go to or probably anything else I do this year vacation wise. Last time we went to go see them I needed like two hours to get ready because I was like little kid going to Disneyland for the first time excited and wanted to make sure I had enough time to keep my hand steady while I tried to put my eyeliner on. I think yeah, it's normal. Also on Facebook I am friends with a bunch of other Rush girls and we all talk about getting into better shape for Rush season. You'd think, considering that Geddy has 30 years on me, that I'd be able to keep up with him but nooooo. I was so utterly exhausted after all of the dancing and singing along that I was doing.

losingit2k Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) First show second show twentieth show, the wait is always just as bad. I have to agree. It doesn't get any easier, specially now towards the end of their career. Every Show is special and I do rone am glad that you get to at least see them once before they call it quits! Hopefully two or three more times but one never knows now. Enjoy the show! Take it all in and Live in the Limelight! Hopefully they'll play it this time around. See this is the reason songs like Tom Sawyer, The Spirit of Radio, 2112, YYZ, Subdivsions and Limelight should always apear in the setlist. For First Timers like: Hobo73! Enjoy your 1st :rush: show ! :Alex: :Neil: :geddy: Edited March 18, 2013 by losingit2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalfwayToGone Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Have fun! I've been going to rush shows since '81 and I think I only missed a couple of tours since. I'll be hitting my 20th show this spring. I still get really psyched for Rush and a bunch of other bands, and even at 45 I will try to get right up front for a general admission show with a mosh pit (most recently Soundgarden two nights in a row). It's still tough waiting for these very big tours that sell tickets months in advance. Waiting was even more excruciating between last April and October when I had absolutely no idea where my seats would be in the first 15 rows for the Rush show in Newark. Now I know at least what row and section I'm in for the 3 shows this coming tour, but I still don't know what seat numbers for AC or Hershey. A little uncertainty in the mix makes it that much more nerve wracking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union 5-3992 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I went to see my first show in November. Yet college killed all my excitement. The two weeks leading to the show, I had several papers I had to hand in. I even had class up until a few hours before the show. It wasn't until I took the subway downtown and stood outside the First Niagara Center that I got excited. But even then the excitement was weak compared to other shows I've been to. I guess I was calm since I waited a good 6 months for the show and wasn't left alone all day to get hyped up for it. But regardless to the irrelevance of my excitement, it was the best show I've ever been to. And it was also from the worst seat I've ever had. You get your money's worth no matter how much you pay. I hope to travel to Vancouver to see another show with RushYesZeppelin in August to see my second show. For that I'm very excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen Rush at least 5 times in Marcus Amphitheater and you can see the videos from anywhere. They have side screens and show it on the back screen.
