Lorraine Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I'm wondering what the reason Rush gave for their Time Machine tour. Why I'm asking is because I noticed it followed closely on the heels of the Snakes tour. Even if some of you might be saying "Wow, what a stupid thread!" be grateful it's not another :sigh: Neil thread. ;) :hi: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planet X-1 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Word on the street has it that Neil was going to tour America on his bike, so Ray figured he could squeeze in a few a dates before anyone noticed..... Either that or the 30th Anniversary of Moving Pictures was coming up.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 I was wondering because they had just finished the Snakes tour. Looks like they took about a year off, then back out on the road again. And the TM tour was closely followed by the CA tour. Busy boys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat 3 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 :goodone: Great thread Lorraine. It was probably a combination of all of the above responses. A good way to test drive the new songs, celebrate "Moving Pictures", make some money while preparing for the new album. It was a good tour, in my opinion...what great fun it was to see/hear "Moving Pictures" played from start to finish. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 There's a good bootleg video from the tour - one of Tapehead2's - of their MSG concert on April 10, 2011. Were you there ReGor? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod in Toronto Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Whatever the reason was, I´m glad they did that tour, since I was able to catch them live on two dates - Rio and São Paulo. My wife went to the Rio show with me, and almost got deaf with the Far Cry and Marathon explosions! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Bands make more money touring nowadays since album sales are no longer a prime revenue stream. Demand. Rush does pretty well selling concert tickets. Rush, at the time, still enjoyed playing live. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
