JohnRogers Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I'm running out of time for that winning lottery ticket to get me into the Los Angeles show Aug 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Given the lenght of the flight from Italy, my last chances are already gone with the last useful extraction a couple of hours ago.I have tried to combine numbers from ancient Sumerian prophecies up to statistics regarding Galactus' farts in the asteroid belt but didn't exactly work....

Rushman14 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I'll be sad after they rock me tomorrow night. I dunno, I'm 38 years and 60 shows in with this band. I just have a gut feeling its not over yet. If it is, I'm fulfilled. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I saw them last night and it just didn't feel like it was the end of their career. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Yeah. I wish I could make it to the last show but just couldn't wing it financially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 No, you are not the only one. I feel awful but am trying to keep this in perspective. It's not the first time in my life, far from it, that I've watched something or someone come to an end. It won't be the last time. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeanMeanPride Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I saw them twice on this tour alone...there really wasn't much more I could do! As much as I'd love to be in LA for this, I can't swing it. But to answer your question, yes...there a strange aura floating around today. Sunday will be an interesting day for sure.

stone and a hard place Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 melencholy would be a better word than sad--and only a little bit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grep Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I don't think it's their last show - they love what they do too much. They like getting paid too. But I do think they told us the truth when they said 'last tour of this magnitude'. So Lorraine is right, it's the end of an era. No more big tours. Rush itself? They aren't done just yet. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. JD Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 If it's their last show, I'm okay with it. I have seen them many times and on every tour since 1974. I got to see 3 shows on the R40 tour including Toronto. I got to share them with my daughter for 20 years. I'm good. I just hope they decide to record new music in the future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I didn't think they were done back during their hiatus in the late 90s and I don't think they're done now. They'll be slowing down a lot more but the show tomorrow night will not be the last time we hear from Rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkPrattLerxst Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Yes it is a bit sad, but we have the Blu Ray to look forward to and probably a new album. If this is the end of touring, they went out with a bang. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, they think they were over at the time. I started embracing DT and Beard a lot more because i thought there was no more Rush. But that was then. After tomorrow, there will still be a Rush.

EagleMoon Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I know people keep thinking they might do a residency somewhere but there are going to be a heck of a lot of people that will never be able to see them again even if they do that, no matter where it is. Some people just don't have the money to travel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueschica Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Yes, I am getting sad as well. I have enjoyed all the Periscoping this summer!! :D 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanMeanPride Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I think a clear distinction needs to be made here: Rush is not "over." That would imply that the band, music, and all memories associated thereto would cease to exist. That is of course ridiculous. Saturday may be the last Rush concert, but by no means is this band "over." We will continue to love, listen, discuss, rank, bicker over, etc. their music forever. As my old man once told me (when describing a Rush album, incidentally), "Good music doesn't die, it just gets old." 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JARG Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I'm not sad in the last. I've been hoping they'd retire from touring for quite some time now. It's been very hard going to shows over the last decade and a half hoping that each time I saw them it wouldn't leave me feeling more sorry for them than before. I would rather they had quit when they were closer to their peak, but I guess I'll just to have to lump it on that score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
