My Sheffield ticket arrived this morning :-)

Yep got tickets for MEN Arena 19 May.

I'm off to Dublin tomorrow for the gig at the O2 there on Thurs (12th). Just so happens to be my birthday that day also, so a great pressie!

I went to the Snakes & Arrows tour at the NEC in 07. Bloody fantastic!

Keep us posted on how it goes.

Cheers

Glasgow on Saturday for me!

13th time I've seen them.

[SaintsPaul]

I first saw Rush on the 2112 tour.
Were my favourite band when I was at school.
Have seen them three times in total but not for years now.
My musical taste has moved on a bit now but still a place in my heart for Rush.

[Wacky Racer]

Last saw them in 1977, Geddy Lee has hardly changed.......

Just back from Dublin following the Time Machine tour on Thurs. Rush were awesome and the O2 venue there is great. For those due to see them in the next week or so, you will not be disappointed. Amazing energy on stage considering they are not so young any more. Fantastic!

[Ali2202]

Just Fabulous....

Planning on going to London O2 to see them later in the month.

First went to see Rush on the Hold Your Fire tour in Glasgow in '88. Managed to catch them each time they've toured the UK since. It'd be a straight fight between Rush and Pink Floyd as to which was my favourite band.

Hmmmmm....roast chickens, washing machines full of t-shirts..... I wonder what we'll get on-stage this tour? Probably a full-functioning time machine a la Bill & Ted.

Glasgow last night - fantastic show, they're still going strong after all these years.

Yep, Glasgow last night, amazing setlist, 2112 overture/temples of syrinx blew me away, couple of tunes from new album, caravan was really good. Video intro very funny..

[NiceCupOfTea]

Got a lot of their earlier stuff up to the early 80s, and I liked Snakes & Arrows. Not much left for the O2 now and I'd be going on my own which is no fun

[thomson]

Do it, you know it makes sense!

[goldblum]

I'm going on my own and looking forward to the concert.I'll get an Indian in Rusholme (area of Man. famed for its Indian restaurants)on the way back if there's time,

so the evenings looking good.

would love to but money is tight at the moment and yet another car problem has reared its ugly head so I think I will save the cash and stick an album or two on instead...

[Nicholas Blair]

There's a fair bit of YouTube footage about of the current tour - worth watching just for the opening sketch - truly brilliant

A goodie, no doubt but what about Exit...Stage Left?

'A Show of Hands' is my favourite RUSH live record.

[Bomber Denton]

Saw them at the NEC last night, awesome three hour show, a real display of talented commitment!

[Nicholas Blair]

What a brilliant week it was - Glasgow and Newcastle. Alex was at his best - just amazing to watch.

Phenomenal stuff - DVD should be out in a few months.

Roll on 40th Anniversary tour in 2014
