 :huh:

That you'd be interested in a RUSH tour rather then Josq.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

I am interested. But I've seen them around 20 times and I'm not gonna pay 500 bucks for "ok" seats. Cheapest are nosebleeds for 250. I'll consider those.  Maybe.

Yeah, I've seen them far fewer times that you, the last time was on the 'A Show of Hands' tour at the Birmingham BEC, a soulless place.

That night they recorded most of the concert video, so I have that to look back on, plus they really rocked that huge empty place, thought that at the time, so I'll stick with the memories.

Exactly. I saw them on their last tour, the R40 tour, which was supposed to be their last tour. It was a great setlist. They started off with their more recent stuff, and worked their way in time, changing the set as they regressed backwards, so by the final songs, the stage looked like a school gymnasium. I thought that was great. Wonderful memories.

And on a personal note, the guy I used to see Rush with all the time was my best friend and he drowned last summer...so going to see the band without him would just be weird for me.

Jos, that's terrible sad, gigging with friends ad mates was more than half the fun, getting into scrapes and mini-adventures in and around the concert.  :(
