They put on a live show that could give most current bands a run for their money. If they're playing in your area I highly suggest you see them. You won't be dissapointed.

fox09 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Damnit. You'd think a proudly Canadian band would have more than 3 tourdates in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarface187 Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 Damnit. You'd think a proudly Canadian band would have more than 3 tourdates in Canada. I might be wrong but from what I saw I counted 6 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we're on the topic of the tour and live album, has anyone heard Snakes & Arrows or has yet to still? At first I didn't really like it too much but it really grew on me fast.

Rastaja Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 2112 was one of my favorite albums ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outcest Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Yeah, sure, now they find the time to visit Vancouver...dirty f*cks. I already saw em in Denver anyways. It was ass-kicking and all, but I dunno if I'd pay to see it twice. Great band, incredible musicians...but a second time is one too many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesfleanut Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 This is amazing, the last date of the tour, which is always the best, will be less than 2 hours from me. I will be there, I will be there, and I will be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XN22 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I may go to the one in Mohegan. sh*t's 3 hours away and probably expensive as f*ck so I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statutory Ray Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I'll be there. 20 minute drum solos ftw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was ass-kicking and all, but I dunno if I'd pay to see it twice. Great band, incredible musicians...but a second time is one too many. Oh I beg to differ my friend. I walked out of that show and since then I've been waiting for them to come again. Plus they're revamping the setlist apparently so it won't be all of the same songs as last time (Hoping for 2112, La Villa Strangiato and Red Sector A). I may go to the one in Mohegan. sh*t's 3 hours away and probably expensive as f*ck so I dunno. They go from pretty cheap to pretty expensive from what I saw. Either way though it is worth every single penny. I think paid just as much if not more for Roger Waters, I saw him the month after Rush and it didn't kick my ass as much. Don't get me wrong, Roger Waters is god and the show was very amazing but there was something missing. I'll be there. 20 minute drum solos ftw. From the show I went to: God that was awesome. Might not of been 20 minutes but still awesome. Shame it cut before the whole big band thing at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarface187 Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 What are the prices like? They range from like what I'm seeing $77 to $117. Theres probably some less than $77 though. A bit steep, but if you want to see the band its worth every penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statutory Ray Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 What are the prices like? $50-85 around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icarus Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) Rush is an awesome band and since they're coming to Edmonton, I may actually have a chance to see them. I'll have to check out prices and such. Oh, and it is strange, like someone said, that a Canadian group would only do six shows in their native country. Oh well... [Edit] They screwed up some of the places where the concerts will be, since Rexall Place is in Edmonton, not Regina. Edited January 30, 2008 by Icarus.

Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Geddy Lee's voice has aged well. I don't know about this concert, though. I've been really into Rush recently, but I hate big concerts. I'll think about it... Oh, and I f*cking love "Cygnus X-1." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
