I was too busy pouting since they aren't coming to St. Louis again this year.

[countoftuscany42]

no bay area date

[theseoafs]

I'll probably be at the Summerfest date. I'll also have to brush up on my 80's Rush.

[Cedar redaC]

They are coming to Utah, and I won't be able to go...




GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Still, I did see them last November, so I guess I'm okay. If anyone missed the last leg of the tour, you should definitely check this one out.

[The Letter M]

So my dad called me earlier today and asked me if I wanted tickets to see Rush in Baltimore on May 7th as a Birthday Present (my birthday is really March 1st, so this was an early surprise). I was pretty much dumbstruck, but was pleasantly surprised at his offer and I of course said YES.

I don't see bands live/go to concerts very often. In fact, I've only been to two major concerts in my life, both at Rams Head Live in Baltimore, MD - Porcupine Tree in 2007 on the Fear Of A Blank Planet Tour, and Bela Fleck & The Flecktones in 2011.

Rush has gone on 4 tours since I've become a huge fan (after the VT Tour), and I've passed up all those chances to see them in either Baltimore or DC, and now I get to go. I'm psyched, especially if the set lists stay the same for the upcoming leg(s) of the tour! I'm in LOVE with the CA songs, and the 80's synth-era material is my cup of tea. May 7th is going to be AWESOME.

-Marc.

[Nick]

I hope to join you M, just trying to secure decent tickets. If I do go you know we gotta chill for a bit!

[The King in Crimson]

Holy shit, they're playing on my birthday. And it's a Friday! Hell yeah, might have to go and see them this time. 

[ytserush]

Looks like I'm showing up at AC and Hershey without tickets in the hope of a discount.

Last gig before they leave for Europe and the first gig after they come back.



I'm glad this is it for a while, my wallet can't take much more of this....

[YtseJamittaja]

For All death metal fans, Finnish band called Omnium Gatherum (maybe some of you know it..) has done a quite interesting cover from Subdivisions!

I recommend to check it out! 

[Lolzeez]

2112th post. I think.

[fadetoblackdude7]

Has anyone heard/read anything about setlist changes for the 2013 legs? I missed them last fall and I don't want them to change anything because I absolutely loved the setlist.

I was gonna post about this earlier. It's pretty awesome and it's up on YT right now.

[Nick]

Currently looking to buy 20th row center tickets for Rush in Baltimore. Thing is they are $171 each and I must buy 2. Anyone else still need a ticket for that show?

I'd love to hear more well done roarcore Rush covers.

I think Geddy should sing it like that from now on.

and on a side note, when it comes to Subdivisions, its like Neil Peart somehow witnessed my entire adolescence and wrote a song about it.

Awful.  But then again, I hate death growls 99% of the time, so, yeah.  I guess I can give them credit for imposing their own style, instead of doing a straight cover, but the end result still made me hurl.

Nick, you're killing me.

Why Baltimore?

Hershey and AC are closer.

[Nick]

Oh, I'm going to Hershey, unfortunately I got a call at work right after they went on sale and the person who then ended up buying tickets for me had to settle on ones I'm not thrilled about. Lower level, in the back 2nd row. Which I'm afraid will be too low to actually be able to effectively see over the seated section, and too far back for the $105 price tag.

AC is on a work weekend, so that's out.

Edit: And as long as you're planning on Hershey by yourself, you can go with me if you'd like. I'll have 3 in my car so there is still room for a 4th.

Sounds like a plan for Hershey.



I shouldn't even be THINKING about Baltimore...but I am.

[Cedar redaC]

That Omnium Gatherum cover was cool, but I think that the growls were a bit out of place given the extremely keyboard driven melody. I think that a growling style like Mikeal Akerfeldt's would have been a bit more appropriate.

If you like it, try Red Star: A Tribute to Rush CD.

I remember that CD, and I also remember laughing my ass off at it. So well intentioned, so utterly misguided. And I love death metal, so it isn't that. 

[Orbert]

Well, I voted with ten minutes left.  Let's see if it sticks.

I'm not much of a death metal fan and I had the same reaction you did!  I still put it on once in a while for laughs. Of the 15 or so Rush Tribute CDs I have, that one is clearly the worst.

Manhattan Project has recently grown for me. Never cared for it at all before, but now I really enjoy it.

[ytserush]

Not five minutes in and Trunk already insulted the band about asking them if its difficult for the audience to handle new music.
