NaturalScientist75 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 How far from home have you traveled to see them? And was the trip only to see them or for another purpose and you went to the show just because you would be there at the same time as them?

Wingmaster Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 5-1/2 hour drive to Charlotte, NC just to see the CA show for the second time. The problem wasn't so much driving there, but driving home afterwards. LOL Got back in at like 4 a.m., 11 hours of driving the entire day. I'm sure that hardly qualifies as the "farthest," but the round-trip drive made it trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Gilbert Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Drove 2700 miles (one way) from western NC to Portland, Oregon. Snakes and arrows tour, summer 2007. First show of a month long oddyssey during which I caught shows at Portland, Sacramento, Las Vegas, and Red Rocks! Maybe the best month of my life. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

analog guy Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Flew from Melbourne to Denver in 2007. I had planned on making a trip back but I moved it up six months and maxed my credit card out so I could come in August and see Rush. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedOfLove Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 For his birthday, I bought my best friend a ticket to see his first Rush show in Jacksonville FL on the S&A tour. He flew all the way from Alaska so we could go together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

furie Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 a one hour train ride to NYC. But i guess i'd go as far as jersey to see them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Osaka to Toronto : 2 trains & 2 planes = a long damn way. I arrived about 4 hours before the gig, checked into my hotel, then met up with some TRFers at Hard Rock Cafe for the pre-boozing. That was 2007 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALifeson85 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I flew from here (Baltimore) to Houston, TX this past December, and saw them at the Toyota Center with my father. Great show, too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaturalScientist75 Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 Furthest for me was jersey to Charolette NC. Was supposed to go there a week earlier but rescheduled trip to correspond with the second show on R30. I guess i have a lot of traveling to do to catch up.

HalfwayToGone Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 4 days ago my friend and I came from central NJ to Baltimore just for the show. Hardly qualifies as a long trip, considering I have driven from NJ to Austin and back to play drums at one show during sxsw, and many times to Detroit to play a one-off for the recording label.

driventotheedge Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I've been fortunate that I've always lived in cities large enough that they played in them or near them. I guess the furthest I've gone is from Vancouver, WA where I now live to The Gorge Amphitheater (2 different times) a total of 260 miles. However, I WILL ride to Denver to see them at Red Rocks someday........right guys?.......you will play Red Rocks next tour, right guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brava Doh! Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 All the Minneapolis and Winnipeg shows are 7-8 hours of driving for me, and those are always the closest stops. Around here, that's really no big deal. Ottawa in 1997 is the furthest so far (17-18 hour drive), but flying out to Halifax in July will make those shows the furthest, KM-wise.
