RUSH - Time Machine Concert
« on: March 26, 2011, 03:43:10 PM »
I'm pretty stoked!  I just got a couple of tickets to see Rush on their "Time Machine" tour.  Going to see them next Friday, April 1st, in Greensboro, NC with Dave C. (our very own Plastered Peanut!)

One of the highlights of this show is that they will be playing the entire "Moving Pictures" album in its entirety.

That is awesome!. I've seen them several times. Always a great show. My fave show was back in the 90's and they played the entire "Hemispheres" LP. It was f*ckin' sweet!

Neil Peart is still awesome too. You should hear at least one fantastic solo from him.  He hasn't lost much with his age.

I saw them twice back in early 1980's. Your right about the drumming of Pert. Pretty good show then.

Neil is probably the greatest rock drummer ever!  He will definitely have a solo spot:

Love Rush! I've pretty much not missed a tour starting with Moving Pictures.
Best show...hmmm....probably on the Power Windows tour at the Spectrum,
because Blue Oyster Cult, another favorite, opened for them. It's hard to pick!

I saw that tour as well.  That was the only time I got to see B.O.C.

Saw this tour over the summer! Best seats I ever had at a concert. You will not be disappointed!

Sorry I haven't posted a review yet!  I can tell you that the concert was incredible!!  I had seen Rush six times prior to this concert and after seeing this tour, I can honestly say that I don't think that I will ever have to see them again in concert!  I know that sounds weird but the show was so good that I don't see how they themselves could ever top it!  It was the perfect mix of old classic Rush tunes with just a small spinkling of new stuff.  When I went to the R30 concert back in 2004, they played so many new songs that I only knew about half the songs they played.

Obviously, the highlight of the show was "Moving Pictures"  When "Tom Sawyer" kicked off, the crowd went wild and they delivered the entire album with amazing precision and clarity.  When they got to side 2 of the album (try asking a kid today what "side 2" means), Dave and I were blown away.  "The Camera Eye" is an incredible song and hearing it live for the first time was awe-inspiring.  "The Witch Hunt" is another great song and I kept getting goose-bumps listening to it.

If you get a chance to catch this tour, by all means do it!!

Here is a pic of Dave and I before the concert.  I am the one holding the BustedFinger sticker!!
