garyg7133 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Neil takes a bow. If there was any doubt before, I think he just put it to rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DistantEarlySignals Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I don't know. But, it's certainly their last tour. Maybe their last show. But after that, we can only think if there will be any more Rush... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrfriendly Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Glad someone started its own thread because the live feed has too many people posting at the same time. But I don't know how conclusive it really is in the end. Yes there is a very high chance it was the last show but the future is never cemented in stone. People are saying geddys last remarks were sentimental, emotional, etc. This no doubt will be their last MAJOR tour so he had to thank the crew and the USA and all that since the future is not for certain. Same thing goes for Neil coming down and waving. You knew there would be some emotion regardless because we all know it is the final major tour. This still doesnt rule out one last big farewell in Toronto or whatever as far as I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pfrushfan0122 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) "And I do hope we'll meet again sometime..." so sincerely.... I'm in tears because of the way he said it and after Neil took the bow with the other two... I really do think this is it unfoturnately...

DistantEarlySignals Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 What exactly did Geddy say? He said 'On behalf (gets emotional, takes a pause and a deep breath).....I would like to thank on behalf of our crew, you for coming out for the last 40 years. Thank you so much, thank you United States of America. I hope we may meet again sometime. Good night!' or something close to that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrfriendly Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I think the pause from what I remember was more because Neil came up behind them and surprised them for the group hug? He didn't sound too emotional in terms of like choking up voice going out. He seemed relatively happy from what I remembered. But the youtube video will be up soon of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Seeker Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I suspect some will not "get"what i mean by this, but i feel a bit like how i felt when i finally had to say goodbye to my dog. It was inevitable. When it was time, i would have given anything for one more week, but then THAT would be the end.So Dog Years turned out to be a pretty relevant song after all. ☺ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CygnusX-1Bk2 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Neil ran to the front of the stage. After taking pictures of the crowd from behind the kit. Never heard Geddy thank the crew either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That scenario almost happened!!The lips aren't moving, but he is speaking to the audience. He's very warm and engaging. He's thanking us and showing us his feelings. Tonight, we are not strangers; tonight, we are long awaited friends. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaFellaStrangiato Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Neil ran to the front of the stage. After taking pictures of the crowd from behind the kit. Never heard Geddy thank the crew either. He did thank the crew, just before he was surprised by Neil's appearance, I believe. His short "speech" was kind of cut into two parts by the surprise.
