Tomorrow night, I will be headed to the Rush concert in Cincinnati at the Riverbend Music Center. I'll have my camera with me, so if any of you are interested, I could put my pictures on Flickr and provide the link to you! :) I'll be fairly close to the stage (I'm guessing 50-70 yards) so they will be good ;)

close enough for good pics - far enough away so you can't see the wrinkles.

nice ;)

I like the new stuff, but I dunno I'd rather listen to older rock. preferably 70s - late 80's.

give a listen to kings of leon, pretty new, sounds like they came right out of the 70s.

and if you want to hear what rush might have sounded like if they came out 30 years later, check out mew.

Have a good time, I hope they play "Tom Sawyer," I'm sure they will. I think I'll give that a listen now...

I imagine since you are a drummer you are excited to see Neil Pert.

I just saw them on Friday in Milwaukee, 12th row! It was amazing, I love RUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!

They will play Tom Sawyer, however, his Drum Solo is not going to be a YYZ one.

He does a solo from another song, I know this because they play the same set-list since it's the same tour.

I believe it's called the Snakes and Arrows tour? oh well! Neil Peart's drum solos are always good, regardless of the song!

12th row?? how much did those tickets cost?

They were I think 250-300 each, my Dad bought 4 and scalped one and gave one to my friend. My buddies who I didn't even know were there got FREE front row tickets and they aren't even RUSH fans, they were just at the festival they played at. I was ticked when I found that out.

well that must have been a rip off! i would do very un-dignifying things for front row Rush tickets!!

And the fact that they got them for free, and didnt even like Rush makes me mad! sorry to hear about that!!


and thats a hefty amount for a piece of paper! :p

Well that always helps!! The only reason I'm able to go is because my friend invited me, and they had an extra ticket, so I'm freaking lucky!! lol
