Rush back on tour

**Dickeymotto** · 04-14-2007, 10:04 AM

So anyone going to go see Rush when they come through your area? August 6th is when they hit SLC.

**skinny_kid** · 04-14-2007, 10:44 AM

that would probably be a good idea. I will have to check out the tour dates

**cranked** · 04-14-2007, 02:42 PM

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.

I saw them at Pine Knob A couple of years back. They rocked!

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.

Scored 9th row to the Sac show. Definitely lookin' forward to the new CD Snakes And Arrows coming out May 1. Go to Rush.com to hear the first tune Far Cry, sounds good to me!

**Dickeymotto** · 04-14-2007, 07:15 PM

Hells yeah it does

**birdman829** · 04-15-2007, 03:20 AM

Been thinking of seeing them when they hit the Tweeter Center in June. We'll see.

**bucbanzai** · 06-17-2007, 07:34 PM

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.

**spider** · 06-18-2007, 02:42 PM

I'll be at USANA 8/6.
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.

**Jer** · 06-18-2007, 04:49 PM

Rush is pretty much the best band in the known universe. Nothing like watching three guys play seven instruments.

**Ripzalot** · 05-06-2008, 03:02 AM

bump

so how was the show? hoping for a euro tour....

**Tippster** · 05-06-2008, 07:56 AM

Somebody needs to burn the fucking Nissan Pavillion to the ground. Such a shitty venue, and every big band plays there.

**cdlv** · 05-06-2008, 08:06 AM

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.

**dookeyXXX** · 05-06-2008, 06:02 PM

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.
