presto123 Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Wonder if Alex is just in a slump like athletes get or if he didn't give some of the tunes he doesn't play very often enough respect as far as rehearsal time. 1
Snaked Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Alex was on fire tonight. Not sure what the complaints are about... I haven't been following this convo too closely. 1
rushbass Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 I love this set list :-) How It IsBetween The WheelsThe Camera Eye. Yeah it's amazing. Definitely my favorite setlist too - I am hoping New Orleans gets this one (Set B)... if the rotation holds true, it should be the one! 3
ytserush Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Thank God Eddie is not a videographer. Whew! But he plays one on TV...... 2

He's got terrible arthritis for f**k's sake. It comes and goes and it isn't going to get any better as the summer goes on.
rushbass Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Thank God Eddie is not a videographer. Whew! But he plays one on TV...... And he stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night... :LMAO:

Late he was, but he was fumbling for notes early. Doesn't bother me, but it was quite noticeable. Same here, I like hearing mistakes actually. It's neat and different. But I know Alex would be happier if he could nail it all perfectly and I want Alex to go out there and have a blast. 1

I understand that, but nobody on this forum knows the exact extent it messes with his playing. Don't act like you do. All the flubs were not related to execution. Some were like it was brain farts or something. Like I said, doesn't bother me, but it will be interesting to watch him as tour goes on. 1
ytserush Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Alex was on fire tonight.Not sure what the complaints are about... I haven't been following this convo too closely. I heard some mistakes, but I also heard some improv (Which I really like) 2

He's got terrible arthritis for f**k's sake. It comes and goes and it isn't going to get any better as the summer goes on. It sucks getting old, and I can emphasize with Alex...I don't play like I used to anymore either (issues with left hand)... and he has several years on me - I could only hope I can still play at that age. It amazed me how well Les Paul played, even well into his 90's... 3
Snaked Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 I didn't notice many mistakes TBH... I did however notice that he was in far better shape tonight than he was in St. Louis which was probably the worst I've ever heard him. I've seen some pretty bad trainwrecks.. but STL was bad from end to end for the most part. 1
greyfriar Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Can't say it enough. Best vocal performance in a long long time. Geddy nailed it tonight. 5

rushbass Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Good night guys - this was my first Periscope experience, and it was fun (as well as funny)! See you at the next one... :cheers: 4

anthem74 Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Periscope is awesome and so are the folks that are sharing their views of the shows with us. 1
presto123 Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Just wish my old computer would load Periscope. It's the one hooked to my HDTV and stereo system.
satchmothesnowdog Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Just wish my old computer would load Periscope. It's the one hooked to my HDTV and stereo system. I'm running an old Dell Insperion with a 1.73 mhz processor and 2 gb of memory and running Linux mint. it runs the Periscope feed and 10 tabs open just fine
oldirtymike420 Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Just got back to Dallas. I saw you guys mentioned Alex's guitar on closer to the heart. It wasnt loud enough and he got pretty pissed off playing around with it. He ended up punching the connection then gave up and switched guitars. Overall a great concert! I was six row on Alex's side. I can't believe that the people next to me kept sitting down. It drove me nuts. It also looks like the guys were pretty hot in the beginning. I saw a lot of sweat dripping from Alex's face. Texas weather! Anyway time for bed. 1
RUSHandOSU Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Some of these songs are extremely difficult even for him and the arthritis definitely doesnt help..another thing a guy over on RIAB said he had some type of pass and saw the 2nd half of the show from on the side of the stage..he said that he was able to see something that indicates a different setlist in june that has la villa replacing camera eye and/or natty sci and has yyz/barchetta with a C and D next to them and also kid gloves alternating with BTW and DEW. Also one variation where GUP was dropped and losing it was added...I dont buy it just yet but the show ill be in attendance for is the first one in June so Im pumped

dtpoet Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Alex was on fire tonight. Not sure what the complaints are about... I haven't been following this convo too closely. Me either but he appears to be missing the first notes on a lot of solos.
