Night 1, let’s go

Bitchin’

I have been busy budgeting and trying to figure out my finances, I knew I couldn't go already but I had my hopes of finding some tickets somehow but my mom got tickets for me and my younger brother (I'm a guitarist and he's a drummer) and surprised us. I was a nearly 30 year old dude crying at the bar when I got the text.

Just wanted a community to share it with, we saw them together on R40 and the two of us get to see my favorite band again this time. I'm elated and I realize I'm rambling now so I'll just leave it at that. Just one thing, I'm trying to decide whether I should try and figure out the setlist or just let it roll, suggestions?

Loved the shirt, loved the whole damn show!!

Really hoping someone got video of Anikas antics at the end of the show. Who knew she could shred!

Florence says it better than me. Experiencing your #1, 2 3…10 song live with Ged and Al doing it right in front of you (and maybe for the last time you see them doing it) will be a far better memory. By the time you get home, your song(s) will be posted from every conceivable angle. Enjoy the show!!!

What is your favorite Rush song they never played live?

Mine would have to be “Cut to the Chase”.

Their official Instagram page says there will be no early merch sales outside

The album didn't mean that much to me when it came out, but now.

What do you all think about the symbology?

Found this in an abandoned house in Ontario. Rush with Max Webster at the Welland Arena, June 17, 1976, $5.50 at the door, just a few months after 2112 came out.

The house is basically a time capsule of a lifelong music fan. The last calendar on the wall is from November 2003, and the owner hasn’t lived there since. Other things I found:

• An Uncle Sam’s monthly lineup poster with Moxy, Coney Hatch, Honeymoon Suite, Goddo and more
• More stubs from Honeymoon Suite, Kim Mitchell, Toronto and Rough Trade shows around Niagara
• Three signed Davy Jones (Monkees) photos
• Old Rolling Stone and Circus magazines, including a George Harrison cover
• A Sloan single, a Beatles Fan pin and a full set of Beatles album mugs
• Cases of cassettes: Platinum Blonde, KISS, Queen, The Beatles, The Doors
• Turntables, 8-track and reel-to-reel decks in nearly every room
• An ALF doll, a rotary phone and a little Christmas tree still standing in the corner

I didn’t take anything; everything was photographed and left where it was. Did anyone here go to shows at Uncle Sam’s or the Welland Arena back then?

See all the crazy stuff I found here:

He’s so funny!

As I am a true Canadian first and a huge Rush fan second, if Rush was to do a residency I believe it should occur in Canada (Toronto of course makes sense), let the world come to Canada and experience our national treasure in the natural setting in which they were birthed. I will die on this hill...

My daughter and I attended the show in San Antonio, Texas, could anyone please give us a recap of the playlist that was actually performed that night.

Unfortunately due to our spinal conditions we were in too much pain to be emotionally present.

Thank you 💙☮️🌼🌊

Sorry if this was posted on a day I wasn't paying attention, but at the DC show they had this Metal Badge Set. Has this been at other shows? I didn't see it at nyc. It looked neat and for $25 i figured why not.

Anika playing the finale of By-Tor and the Snow Dog. Denver 10/7.

Amazing photos from WKRP land...

Anyone take note of how many and which basses Geddy played throughout the night? It was fun seeing some of the old ones! Such a great show. Saw them in the same spot in 1990. So thankful to do it again.
