Rush - the canadian group that is...

[bcr_rep05]

I have both Exit Stage Left and A Show Of Hands on video. Both are
great concerts. Actually a Show Of hands was filmed in the NEC in
Birmingham. To see them for real would be an experience I'd say !
A friend friend of mine saw them on the R30 tour in Rotterdam and he
said it was a great night. I think he said they played for 3 hours !

Cliff, for various reasons I can't predict my days off as far forward as October yet, so I'll have to pass on buying the ticket if you don't mind. Thanks for offering them here.
I didn't buy a ticket for Jethro Tull in Derby as I was working and of course when it turned out that I would be able to make the concert it was a sell out. I called the box office on the day and got hold of a ticket that the Promoter didn't need. Row 4 slap bang in the centre! Result eh?
Life's a long song ...............................

Yes... Album & Catholic

First saw them at Hammersmith in about 1980 and not seen them since.

Me too

Seriously - The new Album is fantastic. If you like old skool Rush with a modern up to date driving beat then its for you... Did someone say mellotron and mandolin? Both are featured!!

Have a look & listen here...

I knew there was a reason why I always liked you Paul... Good selection of albums there...

[paulR]

As you appear to have impeccable taste, Cliff, I have gone ahead and ordered a copy

[Cliff]

Excellent!

Rush believe that its the best album of their careers. General consensus from considered critics is that they may be right - only time will tell!


Cheers


ps - As a fanboy I have the cd and have ordered a copy on Vinyl from their club in Canada.

I'm an old Rush fan and I saw them at Wembley arena in 1990 I think. I haven't really liked anything they've done in the last 15 or so years though and £45 is too much for a gig. My limit is £30ish unless led Zeppelin re-group as it is rumored and then I might just push the boat out a little. I did pay £75 to see Simon and Garfunkle in 2005 though.

I bought the latest album and it is in the same vein as their recent material. It's pretty good, but I don't think it's up to the standards of their earlier stuff.

You know changes aren't permanent, but change is

............ and £45 is too much for a gig. .

Things have moved on since I paid £2.60 to see them at the Glasgow Apollo in 1977

Don't think you'd regret going to see them now.............. but you could regret NOT going

It's closer to the heart.

[Boxered]

Yeah, but you'd have to be "in the mood"



sorry, I'l just exit stage left
