that would probably be a good idea. I will have to check out the tour dates
8/1 - 8/4 is their swing thru the bay area...i will be there. I just wish they would bring the fecking synth back on their albums...Signals 4eva. I know Lifeson hates it, but I miss it.
I'm with ya there, a concept album would be nice.Quote:

Neil Peart is the shit.
Yes he is, and the other two aren't exactly slouches either. Rush is worth seeing by anyone that wants to know what kind of intricate noise can be made by three people.Quote:

Hells yeah it does
Been thinking of seeing them when they hit the Tweeter Center in June. We'll see.
Just saw them again last night in Tampa. First time was in 1977.
Awesome show, as usual. These guys are like fine wine. They never miss a beat or an entry. Light show and sound were, as always, top notch.
They have such a large library that you always leave wishing they had played more songs. The several songs off the new Snakes and Arrows were excellent concert songs. The contrast to the 'power trio' sound of Spirit of Radio in 1980, and the sophisticated, complex sound of The Main Monkey Business off of Snakes and Arrows shows how these guys have matured as musicians.
Awesome show. Awesome band.
Tomorrow night, sadly I will be going to Omaha to see the College World Series....so it goes.
this says it best.Quote:

I saw them last time thru, the first set was newer material, the second, all signals or earlier. Amazing how tight they still play a 30 year old song.
Rush is pretty much the best band in the known universe. Nothing like watching three guys play seven instruments.
Jer...I thought I hated you...but I love you, man. You are a good shit in my book.Quote:

Bump for Rush in Reno TOMORROW!!!!! I'll be rockin' out from 10th row right on the center aisle! Any other mags gonna be there?
bump
so how was the show? hoping for a euro tour....
Somebody needs to burn the fucking Nissan Pavillion to the ground. Such a shitty venue, and every big band plays there.
missing rush this weekend due to mini, but great set list this tour.
and yes tippster, the Nofun Pavillion sucks massive dead dog balls. it needs to be removed from the face of the earth. MPP is the optimum outdoor venue in dc/balto metro.

saw Rush on both Grace Under Pressure and Power Windows tours.
then didn't cotton to the way their music was going and haven't seen 'em since.
still Geddy Lee is one of the best rock bassists of all time and Pert is one of the most stellar of skin smackers.
Sadly that's the period when Lerxt really started seccumbing to Alex Lifeson Syndrome. You should go see them tho - they still play all the classic stuff and for some reason Lifeson isn't affected by the disease when playing the old stuff live, just when he's in the studio. Last time I saw them they played 2112 in it's entirety.Quote:

Random bump -
Anyone check out that new Rush documentary that has been playing on Palladia recently? I saw it last night - pretty sweet. You don't even really have to be a Rush fan to enjoy it.
On that note, Neal Peart is fucking sick!
They should go back on tour with this 14 year old kid. Wow.

No offense to Neil peart. Greatest drummer ever.
