The Inside of Outside Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Fixed it for you. We are talking about a Rush concert, after all.It took me a minute, but then Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heartbreak Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I have never been, but I have heard the stories about Rush shows...there must be a few young women with that 'deer in the headlights' look when they realize they are in a building with 16,000 men and only 5 other girls.

NoJ Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Me and my younger brother were chatting last week and he reminded me that he slept over night at Rosemont during the winter of 1986 for tickets to see Rush. Maybe the Power Windows tour? I cant recall. Anyways, the cops there orchestrated an orderly way to keep the line "fair" and my brother somehow ended up first in line and bought front row tickets for him, me and our buddies. I checked my stub and sure enough, there it was, front row. I had totally forgotten that I saw Rush that close up. Ok, carry on.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I threw an email to my wife who saw them in 92 (Sara is my wife's childhood friend and Steeleville is a one horse town in So. IL): I didn't feel that way. I saw Rush with Sara and a group of three guys from Steeleville who were turned on to Rush by one of the guys older sisters. I know my own older sister saw them a few times in the late 70s and early 80s too --- she was the one who turned me onto them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oddly enough - all of the main staff who put on RushCon are women. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

John Smith Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I've seen them 2x once at the end if the Farewell to Kings tour, last show at Alpine Valley and then in 83 or 84 at Las Cruces NM. Fiest show was a blast. The band was energized and seemed to have a lot of fun. The second time kind of sucked. They were not the same band or even a close approximation of the same band, so I lost interest then. 30 years later I'm just starting to listen to them again, but not too much. In s fairness though my Musical interests changed quite a bit between the age of 17 when I first saw them and 22 or 23 the second time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I think the potential for injury by air drumming is what a Rush concertgoer, man or woman, would need to know about going in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jff Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I talked a couple friends (a man and a woman) into going to see Dungen a few years ago. After the show, the female friend said she really enjoyed it, and that they reminded her of Van Der Graff Generator. So, Van Der Graff Generator has at least one female fan.

The Inside of Outside Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I don't know the RUSH timeline perfectly, but it looks like they are going backward in time through the set list maybe? Starting with recent stuff, and ending with their first releases? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I think that is the deal. From the photographs I saw this morning - they are doing the same with the stage props/backdrops. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 It looks like they are changing some songs from night to night.

jff Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I always liked Between the Wheels. That's a crazy second set. I'd love to see them pull out By-Tor and the Snow Dog. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 And The Fountain of Lamneth. I don't know what they are actually showing on the screen - but this is Mel's Rockpile (Youtube link) (for those who don't know what that's all about.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Have anyone listened to any of the recent shows -- I haven't downloaded any of them yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I watched a few videos - but no AUD tapes. I see there are a few up at bt.etree.org. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 That's cool - I only noticed them on Dime - didn't realize that Rush was allowed on bt.etree.org --- looks like the same sources on etree, too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I don't recall ever seeing Rush shows there before either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Also, read that the taper of the shows, is a girl --- take that Mr. Heartbreak ---- I kid, I kid.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heartbreak Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Also, read that the taper of the shows, is a girl --- take that Mr. Heartbreak ---- I kid, I kid....I don't mind. If the place is loaded with girls, that would be great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 More like old bald dudes wearing Rush t-shirts. I wonder why those shows just vanished from bt.etree.org? I don't get that. A rather nice video: Xanadu (5/12/2015) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
