troutman Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 That tour was my first Rush concert, Let's just hope they tour again regardless! :D :rush: me too :) with UFO? Yep, UFO opened up for them. It was September 77'. I think the cost was around $6.50 a ticket. :codger: :haz: :rush: I believe the exact date for the Santa Monica Civic show was 10/01/77. But I think my ticket was $8.50! I got ripped off! Well, I saw them in Bakersfield, Ca. The ticket price might have been the same as yours. But, since you were LA. It might have cost you more with a bigger demand. Either way, consider today's prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troutman Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Troutman and Rushman. Two very lucky gentlemen. What memories you both must have! Yeah, The good old days! Plus, I saw them during the Hemispheres tour in Long Beach, Ca after that! :haz: :D :rush: :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleMoon Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 No, no medleys, please! I think they're a tease, getting you worked up to hear something you know and love, then they let you down hard because they are not complete :( They're like a really bad date. I would rather hear medleys than hear Geddy try to sing something he can't handle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I'm listening to the album now, and I have to laugh to myself. Some of these songs are real "Wow, man!!!" songs. :lol: Like Cygnus X-1. Anyone of age in 1977 will know what I mean. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I have a question for all those who still have AFTK on vinyl. How much better is the sound than on the CD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I have a question for all those who still have AFTK on vinyl. How much better is the sound than on the CD? I have it on vinyl. In fact it's the first album I bought and I still have it. I had them sign it during the last tour. That aside, IMO an almost 40-year-old album sounds better than the ''97 remastered CD. It's more sonically open. CDs generally sound compressed in comparison to LP's to me. However I recently got the Sector set and it sounds really good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I just listened to an interview Geddy gave right before this album was released. Geddy sounded so soft-spoken, mature and self-confident, even back then. I find that amazing. Was he born like that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
