Lorraine Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I would like to hear what you remember about the concert(s) and the songs they did, especially Xanadu and The Weapon. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narps Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 (edited) I didn't get on board (live show wise) until the Hemispheres tour. I of course attended the Signals tour also. Don't remember a thing from either of them in any detail to be honest. I remember the venues and thats about it.... :( :codger: Edited November 15, 2014 by Narpski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I attended many shows back then and most of them are just a blur at this point. I know who, where and how many times I saw each band and am proud of the shows I attended but the details are mostly long lost.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Cub Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 i wasn't even a thought.Your parents must have been younger than you are now! That is true in my case. Parents were still in elementary school during AFTK I believe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Ways Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 That Cygnus site is a treasure trove of info. You can find out where rush was and what they played on any date they ever played professionally. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can find out where rush was and what they played on any date they ever played professionally. Yes, it is a treasure trove of info. So is the RushVault. But I wanted to hear from those who were actually at the concerts what they remember. If anything. I don't remember much myself from any concerts I went to forty/thirty years ago. Had I known I would regret not remembering one day, I would have taken pictures during and written up accounts after every concert. Bad thing about being young is that you think it will last forever.

treeduck Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Signals Tour in Birmingham May 1983. What can I remember of the tunes on the night? Nothing that would be useful. it's been a while! I don't remember The Weapon or how it sounded. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyfriar Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I received Signals from Rush with special guests Nazareth on May 11th 1983. The concert was held in a small town called Eppelheim, outside of Heidelberg, Germany.What I can remember is that I was blown away by the sound, as soon as Alex played the first notes of The Spirit Of Radio. Best Rush live sound to this day for me. I also remember how great they played that night and Xanadu with the two double necks was surely a highlight of the show. Can't remember what The Weapon was like, maybe because we had no 3-D glasses and we saw it only in one-half-D. ;) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a once in a lifetime experience for sure. I still think you have the most Rush friendly meet and greet picture I've ever seen. Like you were an old friend they knew well and were glad to see. Maybe there is something you're not telling us? ;) Edited November 15, 2014 by Lorraine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
