This is f***ing orgasmic.

So close to getting on a plane today...

 

:D

 

If anything is better than sex, it's this concert.

 

If you or anyone else finds a concert by anyone to be better than sex, you're either having bad sex, if there is such a thing, or are just out of your mind.

 

No, the show was really that good. I felt like I was high (even though I was sober) and floating. Once the band was finished I couldn't really speak, I was at a loss for words and was just walking around with the biggest smile on my face. Thinking back on last night it feels like the time went by so quickly, and it seems almost like it was a dream. The most wonderful, amazing dream!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

I dident woke up!!! I missed the show! Fuuuuuuuuuuuck!!!

 

Still time to watch the replays, Zumb. Just work your way through the thread and click on all the feed links. You still have several hours.

[Hakky2112]

All I can do is smile and glow...and possibly return to normal life?

[toymaker]

I think I'm going to watch the replays while there's still time.

 

Lazing on a Sunday afternoon...

L-R Rushman14, Tombstone Mountain (front), Greyfriar (back), x1yyz, Scott (way back), Robyn, Robertrobyn.

 

great meeting all of you!

 

and what a night! wrapped up 60 Rush shows starting with AFTK in '77. I got emotional a couple of times (Losing It!) but I spent the majority of the evening with an ear to ear grin just trying to soak it all in. Anything after this is gravy. Oh and Jonathan Dinklage was sitting a few seats down from me during the 2nd set. I gave him a thumbs up and he mouthed "thank you" :)

 

Here is another shot of the TRF gang :haz:

Enjoyed meeting you so very much. What a treat to meet Anita, and your best friend who was responsible for your music aspirations. Incredible moment.

Good call. I had been thinking "I didn't know John Lithgow was a Peart fan." ;)

Oh how cool!

[Earthshine_sf]

I'm still buzzing from the show. I was 25th row, Geddy's side. Sound was LOUD and crisp. Incredible excitement in the air.

 

CTTH was an amazing moment. Almost everyone within the first 15 rows (floor and sides) held up LED "candles" and lighted "Starman" sticks. I recall Alex being taken a back by it. I teared up!

 

Anyone know who arranged those fan lights and sticks?

 

Also, at the end, one of the cameras showed some peeps in the front row holding up one word each, making the sentence "YOUR MUSIC CHANGED OUR LIVES FOREVER"

 

It was incredible!

I saw at least two people handing out the little candle lights, one of them being our own Robertrobyn.

I don't know who exactly it was, but they were passed out to people who attended some of the pre-show parties recently. I know I was given one in Vegas (that I forgot on the table when I left!) and then another one in LA, fortunately., I held mine up during CTTH. It was a nice sight from my upper tank seats. :)

Thanks to Robertrobyn I proudly waived my little candle light to CTTH

I'm still in awe of the whole night. The energy in that crowd was unreal. I am so glad I was able to be a part of it.

 

Totally agree. Paid a small fortune for these last two weekends but wouldn't trade it. :)
