GeminiRising79 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) After combing through all pertinent variables including BluesChica's R40 instagram photo link, youtube vids, and setlist for Tulsa, I have noted the following critical parameters of the show Multiples of historically-significant and unique instrumentaria- Check Historically-significant loudspeaker system- Check Heterogeneous, nonwallofsound sonic quality- Check Significant/critical representation of songs from classical period- Check High-calibre visual effects representation- Check Musicians in (relatively) top-form, performancewise in every aspect- Check Fog- Check Minimalization of posthiatal material- Semi-Semi-check Critical, full experential period-specific show ambiance(setting)- Check Effort taken in appeasing the traditionalist/purist original/core discriminating followers: Exceptional- Check Logo-emblazoned t-shirt or hipster sneakerwear worn by lead singer: Absent- Check R40 show-quality score(unattended): 4.75/5 stars Based on the above factors I WILL be attending the May 30 R40 show!! (in close proximity to band nucleus :) It is now appropriate to state..FCK YES! I have been awaiting a show of this magnitude for decades. The Syrinx priests (yes, Rush) have finally acknowledged and embraced "ancient ways". Never thought I'd see them go full circle (not backwards!). I commend thee, Alex, Ged, and Neil on going the distance in making this historically-relevant tour idea a reality! Thanks again for all who helped compile Tulsa info for me!
