RushTour FORUM

Anyone catch Golf Channel tonight?

Sun, 05 Sep 2010 03:32:31 +0000

Was watching it a couple hours ago and the Champions tour players are playing
with some youngsters from the first tee program. During one on course interview
with Mark Calcavecchia and his playing partner, it was brought up that the girl
knew all the songs to the Lion King (believe that's the one) by age 2. She was
asked to sing a few bars but laughed and said she just knew them but couldn't sing.
Mark was asked jokingly if he could but he said no, unless maybe it was Rush or AC/DC.
He tried to sing a little Tom Sawyer but said it was the best he could do.

CADEN'S PALOOZA Woodstock Harley Davidson
2050 S. Eastwood Drive, Woodstock, IL

Come see the original Rush drum kit that legendary drummer Neil Peart played on five tours and the classic albums, Fly By Night, Caress of Steel, 2112, and All The World’s A Stage. The 1974 chrome Slingerland kit (nicknamed “Chromey”) will be on display. Come see this incredible piece of rock history up close and have your photograph taken sitting behind it. Other Rush memorabilia will be on display as well.

Donations go to benefit 5 year old Caden Mitchell who was diagnosed with Hunter Syndrome in 2009. Hunter Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder affecting only 500 people in the United States. HS is a lysosomal storage disease caused by a deficient or absent enzyme which help break down specific chemical byproducts in the body. The disease can cause abdominal hernias, infections, deformities, and lead to organ damage. There is one new treatment for HS, an enzyme replacement therapy called Elaprase which Caden is receiving, but it is very expensive.

It looks like this storm may be off the coast of New Jersey Friday.

I am not attending but I do have a sister on the coast of Jersey only a few minutes away from Holmdel and they are being told to prepare for the worst.

Hope all Rush fans and the band stay safe.

Sept 18th DC pavilion tix for sale

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 00:28:29 +0000

(sorry, ken, if I've placed this is the wrong forum)

Hey all,

Because of bad finances at the moment, I've decided to sell my tickets for Saturday, September 18th, at the Jiffy Center near DC. Tickets are Section 103, P25 and 26; so Alex side, second section away from stage.

I'll offer them to anyone here for face plus fees, which comes to $175 total. I'll FedEx them at my cost or I can meet you in the Baltimore/DC area to hand them over. PM me if you're interested; I'll list them on StubHub next week if I don't hear from anyone.

I hate to do this, but times are tough at the moment.

regards,

coventry

This story:
http://www.ksdk.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=213158&catid=3
indicates that Geddy used a four letter word on stage in St. Louis. I've never heard him do that before, and knowing how cognizant they are of the younger fans in attendance, it would surprise me. Can someone who was at the show confirm?

Love At First Sight

What is the picture of Rush that first cause you to know these are some groovy cats?

First pictures were Fly By Night and 2112, they looked a bit gay, but I was sold on AFTK...

NASA will pipe in the music of the contest winners to the astronauts on the Space Station. "Countdown" is number one for the time being...let's keep it that way! Get all your friends and family to vote! (Credit goes to the folks at rush-tabs.com for their e-mail telling me about the :gen013:contest)

Concert tickets sold this tour

Tue, 31 Aug 2010 18:56:03 +0000

Apart from some of the festivals where Rush wasn't the only band playing is there any source of the largest ticket sales this tour?

Just saw them in St. Paul on Saturday and the new grandstands are supposed to hold up to 17,000 (or maybe 15,000 - not sure if there is a different configuration). It seemed to be sold out - i'm sure there may have been some empty seats, but not many. It seemed to be as full as the Toronto Air Canada show.

Anybody know the venue by venue counts?

Good showing at Columbus

Tue, 31 Aug 2010 11:27:03 +0000

About 4 oclock, the group started amassing at the Gordon's brewery.

Ejoyed the company of Rushchic and her boyfriend, Enviro-tech, BigT, DetroitDan and his family, Roadwar, Anthem, esp, ChikkyG.

Racking my brain but can't remember anyone else. Still flying high from the concert and probably won't come down for about a month.

Had front row sec 115. In line with Row E on the floor but "on the boards" as it is a hocky rink. Alex's side. That is as close as I have been to the stage in a while. WORTH IT.

Hope everyone got home safe and that the band tours again in the region for some more good times.

Congratulations Rushchic

Tue, 31 Aug 2010 01:07:10 +0000

During the first set in Columbus, Alex threw a pick directly to Rushchic who was in the front row.

She says it is her first one. I only saw him throw 3-4 all night and she got the first one.

Good job.

I miss inner album artwork

Exit Stage Left and Hold You Fire especially had great artwork with artifacts or tributes to previous albums.

VIP Will Call and Extras - Anybody Receive Anything?

Mon, 30 Aug 2010 17:58:16 +0000

I ordered VIP package for Milwaukee show. Will call was my only option. Anybody else with the same scenario receive their VIP package of "stuff" in the mail? Just curious. I was hoping to have everything before the show. That's looking like a long shot.

Happy Birthday Alex!

Mon, 30 Aug 2010 04:56:12 +0000

A huge happy birthday Lerxst!

Rush Covers

Respectable cover of Spirit of Radio by Catherine Wheel. I heard that Rush sent them a case of champagne when they came through Toronto years ago.

For 'Time Stand Still' Fans

Sat, 28 Aug 2010 09:25:03 +0000

Going to work this morning I saw that Aimee Mann is playing tonight at a local concert club - The Birchmere (in Alexandria, VA).

I wonder if she even remembers doing that guest appearance on Time Stand Still.
