ATTENTION: Phil, LASooner, & others going to the Rush concert in OKC.

[SoonerStormchaser]

Do y'all wanna meet up in Bricktown for dinner before the concert? Say 1700 (that's 5:00 pm for those of you who don't speak military)?

If so, lemme know so we can discuss venue and I'll make the necessary reservations.
(No, I'm not buying:texan: )


TIA.

[Sooner_Havok]

Well hell, if you ain't buying!

I might be game for said pre-Rush grub, but won't we be hungry after the concert too?

[SoonerStormchaser]

Aww hell, it's gonna be 2200 by that time...past the Mrs's bedtime ;)

[Sooner_Havok]

I'll bring some Cheetos then, you can share if you want :D

[soonerboomer93]

you're just wanting to make sure you can go to a place with the blue plate special?

[SoonerStormchaser]

All jokes about the wife aside...anyone interested?

[SoonerStormchaser]

Bueller?

[Phil]

I'd like to, but I dunno. I may not be available. I will have to find out. BTW - PM me - I have a question for you.

[Sooner_Havok]

Where are you guys planning on parking? My guess is diner at a bricktown eatery with free parking may be cheaper than paying to park

[SoonerStormchaser]

I dunno...depends on where we go to eat.

Still awaiting suggestions.

[kbsooner21]

Zio's

[LosAngelesSooner]

I'm sorry, but I can't. Phil and I will have to be at the venue by then. However I am MOST DEFINITELY down from a beer somewhere afterwards if you guys are.

And I'd love it if S.F. peeps showed up for a drink who aren't even going to the Rush concert just so we could finally meet and say hello. It would be nice. :)

[OUDoc]

Tell them to direct their songs to the guy who has the crappy seats in section 103. ;)
http://www.okfordcenter.com/events/SeatingMaps/seating-Rush.jpg

Actually, they probably won't be that bad.

[SoonerStormchaser]

Heh...Carolyn and I are in section 107, row N, seats 1 and 2

[OUDoc]

I waited too late to buy tickets. I tend to do that. :O

[LosAngelesSooner]

Heh...Carolyn and I are in section 107, row N, seats 1 and 2
If you're already that close I'll do my best to pull you down onto the floor.

[Sooner_Havok]

Heh...Carolyn and I are in section 107, row N, seats 1 and 2

Heh, I gots section 116 row b seats 1&2! Right across the from the chumps what paid 85 bones. Man, I am getting pretty excited about this. Hell, my iPod has turned into a Rush Juke box at this point!

[SoonerStormchaser]

If you're already that close I'll do my best to pull you down onto the floor.

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!
THANK YOU!

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!

Greedy much?

[SoonerStormchaser]

Just a tad when it comes to the greatest threesome band EVAR!!!

[Sooner_Havok]

I am glad it is just going to be Rush. Honestly, who could open for these guys at this point?

[SoonerStormchaser]

Led Zepplin!

[Sooner_Havok]

Led Zepplin!

Without Bonzo there is no Led Zeppelin!

[SoonerStormchaser]

And that's why no one is opening for Rush...

[OUDoc]

My bad, sec 102 (not 103) row Q. I may be able to see them.

[Sooner_Havok]

I was online as soon as tickets went on sale, I wanted to make sure I didn't get screwed on a concert again!

[SoonerStormchaser]

Heh...:hmfic: and I got in on the presale dealio...

[Sooner_Havok]

The American Express thing?

[SoonerStormchaser]

No...the Rush fan club!

[Sooner_Havok]

No...the Rush fan club!

I see. I never saw the point of fan clubs. You got to buy tickets before anyone else, but hell, concerts used to never come to OKC and I am to poor to go too far to catch a show.

[LosAngelesSooner]

Wait. Phil.

You didn't actually BUY tickets, did you?!?!

[Phil]

Wait. Phil.

You didn't actually BUY tickets, did you?!?!

Negative. I have no tickets, yet I am strangely confident that I will have a nice vantage point from which to observe the festivities.

[Sooner_Havok]

Not fair!



:D

[SoonerStormchaser]

Let's see...just HOW many Rush concerts did :hmfic: pay for last year alone?

FAIR!

[kbsooner21]

How was the concert?

[SoonerStormchaser]

Dude...it's not for another 10 days!

On a different note, I just got my "Snakes and Arrows LIVE" CD in the mail today...along with my tix to go see Journey in Dallas in July...

[kbsooner21]

LOL my bad. I was wondering why I hadn't heard much about it other than on here

[Sooner_Havok]

Dude...it's not for another 10 days!

On a different note, I just got my "Snakes and Arrows LIVE" CD in the mail today...along with my tix to go see Journey in Dallas in July...

heh, Journey, heh. <cough> lame </cough>

You know this is the first concert I have paid to go see in about 6 years! :eek:
I get the Tool tix for free, so I have gone to most of their shows around Oklahoma/Texas for the last few years, but no act got me excited enough to spend my precious little money on them till Rush!

Brought my Rush in Rio DVD to work tonight.


9 days!

[OUDoc]

Let's see...just HOW many Rush concerts did :hmfic: pay for last year alone?

FAIR!

No, still not fair.

But I am envious. :)

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!

2112!!!!!

[LosAngelesSooner]

LAS, a few questions:
a. You know if they're playing 2112? I've been briefing my wife on what she's expected to do during the Overture.
b. What appliance/s are they having on this tour? I volunteer my wife to go up there to get the chickens if they're still there!
Ha!!!

My understanding is that, Yes, they HAVE put 2112 back into the set list.

The stage is still the same since this is technically the 2nd half of the SnA tour.

You "volunteer your wife," eh? DANGEROUS WORDS....MUAH-HA-HA-HA!!! ;)

[SoonerStormchaser]

Ok...if she doesn't do it, I'll do it!

[SoonerStormchaser]

9 more days beyonces!!!

[LosAngelesSooner]

I'm going to be in town with Phil for the Rush concert and after the show on Saturday we will be grabbing drinks in BrickTown and I thought it would be really nice to finally meet some of you guys.

Plus I haven't gotten a good drunk on in Oklahoma in about 7 years...so I really need it. And you gotta have friends with you when you're getting a good drunk on! ;)

So...around 11pm on Saturday night...who wants to meet up in BrickTown for some drinks?

And, yes, USMC...if you still wanna fight me you can fight me. It's the least I can do. ;)

Dude...if YOU'RE there, PG, I will most CERTAINLY buy you a drink. :)

Buy her a cab ride home.
Drag her along and let her sleep in a booth.
I'll get you a Rush Hoodie that she can use as a pillow. ;)

You'd better be there, SSc.

And, USMC...dude...I was joking with you. I think it would be AWESOME if you could drag yourself out for a drink with me. :)

[LosAngelesSooner]

Awesome, PG!

I will make sure Phil posts the plans fromhis PDA when we're at the concert (or before we go there) so everyone can know where to go. :)

[usmc-sooner]

you guys have a good time. Drink one for me.

[LosAngelesSooner]

you guys have a good time. Drink one for me.
Thanks, man. If you change your mind and wanna come along, just check on the SO Sat. night. I'm sure Phil will have a thread letting everyone know where to go. :)

[SoonerBorn68]

There wasn't.

And I was making a joke, anyway...;)

Your jokes are in poor taste. Since your statement about being about to buy rpg's & live grenades at gunshows, your credidibility is 0--I've heard different from several people of your quick exit.

[SoonerStormchaser]

Oh come off it...this thread is about hooking up after a concert for drinks...not fisticuffs!

[LosAngelesSooner]

Your jokes are in poor taste. Since your statement about being about to buy rpg's & live grenades at gunshows, your credidibility is 0--I've heard different from several people of your quick exit."My quick exit?"

LOL

So...someone told you that USMC and I actually MET?! :rolleyes:

My credibility is relative. To you it may be zero. To many others on here it is 100%. The ones who consider it zero have never met me and the ones who consider it 100% have. You can draw a very logical conclusion from that fact. Also...I really couldn't care less whether you consider me credible or not. Do we know each other? No. Have we ever met? No. Are we contemporaries? No. But I started a thread to hvae fun and get a bunch of people to go out and have a great evening and you decided to turn it into some kind of weak personal attack. *shrug* Whatever makes your day feel fulfilled, bro.

And as for my jokes...they are FAH-BU-LOUS! :D

Now, back on topic: Dolemite! Glad you can come. You know, I think you and Yermom are the posters on here I've actually seen in person the most! (aside from people I knew before I started posting on here)

[usmc-sooner]

I've never met LAS, nor have I told people I have.

[LosAngelesSooner]

Sweet! The truth is out!

Still, as I previously said, USMC, I would really like it if you could make it out to grab a drink with all of us.

As part of my Lent sacrifice this year...I buried the hatchet (took everyone off of ignore, etc) and I intend to keep the good will alive! :)

[StoopTroup]

This thread brings a tear to my eye.


If you have questions about the way the site is moderated, please address them in a PM to a moderator.

[Phil]

Now I just have to figure out where. I don't go to Bricktown much, especially to drink. Any suggestions from those that do?

[SoonerStormchaser]

Bricktown Brewery?

[BigRedJed]

My suggestion is Makers or the bar at Mickey Mantles. Nice places, and you won't be overrun with kids and the bad kind of hillbillies.

Other than that, outside of Bricktown there are also some nice downtown spots that will be sophisticated and light on the riff-raff on a Saturday night. You might consider XO Lounge in the Colcord, the Red Piano lounge at the Skirvin, or Red Prime, at NW 4th and Broadway. All are walkable from Bricktown, though Red Prime is getting close to car territory for most Okies. Well, now that I think about it, the Cox center is close to car territory for most Okies attending events at the Ford Center, but you get the idea.

Not quite as walkable, but also a good choice: Deep Deuce Bar and Grill, on 2nd one block east of Walnut.

[BigRedJed]

I assumed you guys were looking for grownup places.

[StoopTroup]

or someplace with go-carts. :D

[SoonerStormchaser]

Great news guys...
My brother is coming up here next weekend, and the wife's been looking for an excuse to get out from going to the concert with me (she likes Rush, but nowhere near as much as I do)...so my brother is coming with me instead...which means we're DEFINITELY coming out for drinks afterwards!

[SoonerStormchaser]

LAS,
My wife's out for the concert; since my brother will be in town next weekend, he's coming with me instead...you think I love Rush, this guy's MANIACAL about em!

[StoopTroup]

I saw them with Ted Nugent back in the Day.

I think Ted was promoting Cat Scratch Fever and Rush was promoting 2112.

It was a damn good show.

I quit going to see Rush after the Tom Sawyer era.

I hope you all enjoy the show though. They are tight.

[LosAngelesSooner]

What about Grown Up Places with Go Carts.

I drive much better through the S turns when I'm holding a snifter of Maker's Mark.

[LosAngelesSooner]

I quite simply cannot wait.

[LosAngelesSooner]

No, man. Sorry. I try to get to a bunch of the shows on tour, but I can't make all of 'em.

I will be at the Jersey, New York and Connecticut shows, along with the California and MAYBE the Vegas and Arizona shows as well. Then I'll be in Brasil with them. (un-announced)

[Phil]

I like the idea of Deep Deuce, but it's not really walkable from the Ford Center. Makers or maybe Tapwerks is what I was thinking.

I can't remember, what is your link to Rush? It's Peart, right? Have you done work for/with them before?

Rush in Rio...Round 2
It was sort of a "spiritual experience."

But having nubile, tanned and waxed young bikini-clad girls begging you to fall in love with them and seducing you with everything they have just so you'll take them home to " 'Merica" with you is kind of a "religious experience" no matter WHAT country you're in, I guess. :D

Shoot...that'd probaby even work over at old Southroads Mall in Tulsa! :texan:

LAS...

Whatever you guys do, keep your phones on. I'm supposed to hit a sorority party with my girlfriend and her sister for a few hours early Saturday evening. After that, I'm going to NEED a drink.

I should be in town either late Thursday evening, or early Friday morning. Either way, I'm game for just about anything. I'm watching the draft somewhere in Norman on Saturday morning / afternoon, and I've got that party Saturday night. Beyond that, Friday night may be a card night, even. Just let me know what you've got planned. I'd like to see you make it to Norman for the first round or two of the draft.

Oh... and keep on joking... You can't let the people that don't get it determine what YOU think is funny, right? It's bad enough I have to dummy-down at my job so that I'm understood. I don't want to see anybody have to do the same in their personal life as well. It's a "credibility thing," I suppose. :D

Sounds good, man. Probably going to be Saturday night, after the concert in Bricktown at the Deep Deuce Grill.

I'm staying near the airport. I might walk over to the OOOOLD Don Pablos we used to work at. See if Javier is anywhere to be found. :D

Deep Deuce Grill it is, after the concert.

I'm a Navigator...and I'm asking for directions!

Heh. Good luck. It closed a few years back. Last I heard, ALL of them in Oklahoma are closed now. Even the Tulsa store. I know Norman is, 'cause it's something new now. BJ's. (They pimp the Hell out of their beer, but it's not that good and everything else is over-priced...)

As for Javier, I have no idea what happened to that guy. As far as I know, he's still rubbing his chest, saying "brah," all the time, and trying to cash the checks of employees that left without picking them up. Those zany former restaurant managers are all alike.

Edit: I forgot this a second ago... My bad... Hey, 68. Two things... 1) Thanks for having the sack to sign your neg. 2) Shame you squandered it on not responding to LAS, or USMC for that matter. Kinda makes your story look like swiss cheese when both parties get together, eh? If you're joyless, that's on you, man, but my advice would be to KEEP it on you. We're all friends in here, and if we joke around, so be it. Are you angry because you didn't get an invite to the reindeer games or because you didn't get the joke and thought it was on you? Either way, it's whatever. When I need your opinion on what is and isn't funny, I'll go ahead and top myself off with a piece of sandpaper and a lemon. Keep your flame bait to yourself, please... or not. You know where the party is. Feel free to get off the sidelines and have a few in person. Maybe we're funnier in person. (Although having been there myself, I doubt it...)

If you're going to DDG, call ahead and see if they will reserve a table. It's a small place, but they are usually good about allowing reservations.

[SoonerStormchaser]

OK...so let's compile the list.

There's 2 in my party...me and my brother.

[Sooner_Havok]

1) Thanks for having the sack to sign your neg.

Um, we can all see who speked now anyways. So you may want to rethink the sack part. :texan:

[the_ouskull]

Heh. Tells you how much time I spend around these here parts anymore. I guess the answer's, "Not much."

Oh well. It's moot to me anyway. I'm just lookin' out and wondering what's going to bend/break first... Oberto's defense or Diaw's offense. It's like the stoppable force versus the movable object.

the_ouskull

[Phil]

Deep Deuce Grill says they'll take a reservation for Saturday night if we have enough people. So, we'll need to get a count, which our intrepid AF navigator has already started.

[SoonerStormchaser]

Teh masterlist:
Me, brother
LASooner

How many you bringin Phil?

[Phil]

Me and my two brothers - that makes 6.

[the_ouskull]

Depending on what time you guys are planning on hooking up for drinks, etc... I may be joining you. I'll have anywhere from 1 to 3 with me. But, we're talking late-night drinks, complete with a DD. Like 11ish. Any of you old folk still plan on being out around then? We're going to be a 747 in Norman until around 10. THEN it's "head to the city," time, which is no relation to Peanut Butter Jelly Time.

[the_ouskull]

Well, honestly, I'm thinking that I may not make it much past 11. There's a very legit chance that I'll wind up sleeping in the car. I don't get out much anymore.

[LosAngelesSooner]

PG might make it, she said.

I'd reserve for 8 and let them know the group may grow.

As for me, I'll be on my flight at 6am (blech) for the Dallas show tomorrow night!

[bluedogok]

It was a good show last night, the first time that I have seen them since Reunion Arena in 1992. They had it set up in the theater style and it was pretty full except for the top corners of the last section on each side of the upper level. I talked to some people around me and a few were making the OKC and Dallas shows as well as the Austin one last night. It was the first time that my wife has seen them, she basically had only ever heard Tom Sawyer that she recalls.

I can say the Erwin Center< LNC. Too cramped, too tight of a concourse and the entries are too small. The only positive was they sold beer which I thought was a bit different for an on-campus facility anymore.

[LosAngelesSooner]

Well, I arrive in Dallas at 9am tomorrow...so we'll get the party started early. ;)

[SoonerStormchaser]

ONE MORE DAY BEYOTCHES!!!

Phil, did you make the reservations?

[SoonerStormchaser]

Anyone?

[Phil]

Crap - no, I forgot. Can you call over there and do it? I'm in Dallas at intermission and I can't hear very well right now.

[SoonerStormchaser]

I'll call em as soon as they open at 10...even if I'm at Tinker at the time. I'll let y'all know as soon as I can.

p.s. I'm bringing earplugs...highly recommended for anyone else who's up front with me (USAF wants to protect their assets, apparently).

[bluedogok]

If you are close to the stage then the audio levels are typically lower because the speaker arrays are over about the first five rows. I had fifth row for the Signals tour at The Myriad and it was at a very listenable level, during the opener I went to get a drink and noticed it started getting loud about rows 15-20. Rush has never played as loud as some and they have almost always had the arrays up high.

Now other concerts that I have been to that had them near the stage are a different story, I saw Krokus/Accept at the LNC and was on the right end of the front row. They had the array on the floor, I was deaf in my right ear for about a week.

Y'all enjoy it tonight.

[proud gonzo]

I can probably make it. Doleo said he might before, but i dunno where that stands. i'll send him a text.

[SoonerStormchaser]

Ok...I called and made reservations for "at least 7, probably more" at 10:45. It's under my name...so if you get there early, just let them know you're with Steve Fiore.

LAS and Phil...how was Dallas? Stop by our seats tonight...Section 107, Row N, Seats 1 and 2

[SoonerStormchaser]

So, to recap:

[dolemitesooner]

I can probably make it. Doleo said he might before, but i dunno where that stands. i'll send him a text.

I am running in the marathon in the mourning cant make it.

[proud gonzo]

I am running in the marathon in the mourning cant make it.i remembered that after i texted you.

and actually, I don't think i'll be able to make it tonight either. All three of my final projects are due monday and tuesday. :mad: :(

[SoonerStormchaser]

Sorry you guys couldn't make it...but thanks to Phil, his family and LAS for coming. And LAS...I still owe you a ****load of drinks for hooking me up with meeting Getty and Alex!

p.s. Phil, please pass along my gratitude to the Missus for getting the food last night...I'll make it up to you guys during tailgate season.

[King Crimson]

.I still owe you a ****load of drinks for hooking me up with meeting Getty and Alex!

that's purdy kewl.

[OUDoc]

LAS does rock. He hooked up me and my wife, brought us down to the 7th row during intermission. Sat with Phil and his brother (and occasionally, LAS). I can't thank LAS enough for that. Incredible show, sorry some of you missed out. Thanks again! :D

[SoonerStormchaser]

Yah...we were about 8 rows up from the floor...and had a kickass vantage point of stage left...which RAWKED during the drum solo.

[SoonerStormchaser]

BOO YAH!

[proud gonzo]

heh. i don't have a clue who those people are.

[OUDoc]

heh. i don't have a clue who those people are.

:mad:

The guy on the left is P. Diddy and the guy on the right is 50 cent. The one in the middle is RuPaul.

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

I'm glad you enjoyed the concert. Incidentally, I was at Deep Deuce until about 10. Former Sooner Greg Johnson was at the next table. Sadly, the years have not been too kind.

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

:mad:

The guy on the left is P. Diddy and the guy on the right is 50 cent. The one in the middle is RuPaul.I thought the one on the left was Ozzy.

[OUDoc]

Geddy Lee, Stormchaser, Alex Lifeson.

[Sooner_Havok]

That was one sweet show. I may not have got to meet the band, or been down on the floor, but I had some pretty damn good seats and had a pretty damn good time. Hope they don't wait another 10 years to come back to OKC.

[OUDoc]

Stormchaser-
Were you next to Phil during the end of the show?

[Sooner_Havok]

I was in 116 B 1&2, and the guy in front of me on Row A got "upgraded" to the first section row d I think. He came back and said those seats sucked. From where we were, we had a straight on view of Geddy all night. Hell, he couldn't have been further than 20 30 yards away.

And the little Neil figurine thing, WTF???

P.S. Wearing my Rush Polo right now :D

[SoonerStormchaser]

Stormchaser-

Negative. My brother and I were in 107, Row N, seats 1 and 2. We had a kickass view from stage left the entire time...and a perfect view of Neil during the solo. We actually left in the middle of YYZ so we could make it to the Deep Deuce (we parked the car there and walked to the Ford Center) in time to make sure our reservations were still good.

[SoonerStormchaser]

Here's the South Park intro to Tom Sawyer. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=FrejJHPnVfk)

[Sooner_Havok]

The guy in front of me did mention one thing to me. He said he was from Cincinnati and had gone to a lot of the shows, and that the folks at the front of the stage didn't seem as in to it as those at other shows. No knocks against the band though, he said it was one of the best he had seen

[OUDoc]

Negative. My brother and I were in 107, Row N, seats 1 and 2. We had a kickass view from stage left the entire time...and a perfect view of Neil during the solo. We actually left in the middle of YYZ so we could make it to the Deep Deuce (we parked the car there and walked to the Ford Center) in time to make sure our reservations were still good.

Okay. Did I meet you? My wife thought you were standing next to Phil (based on your picture) and I was going to feel like **** for not introducing myself if you were standing right next to us.

[SoonerStormchaser]

Negative...I went in with my brother, found our seats, I went to meet the band with LASooner and Phil, then went back to my seats with my brother...and stayed there for the whole concert.

Havok, you are right about the lack of enthusiasm in the crowd...especially during the 2112 overture...I saw em in Vegas during the R30 tour, that crowd was complete mayhem compared to what I saw last night. But I think that's due to Okies' general conservative nature.

[LosAngelesSooner]

Dude. I'm sorry! I didn't know you were at the show or where you were sitting or I would have tried to pull you down onto the floor.

Maybe next time...

And thanks to everyone who I met at the show. You were all very welcoming and cool. I had a blast finally meeting y'all. :)

[LosAngelesSooner]

Okay. Did I meet you? My wife thought you were standing next to Phil (based on your picture) and I was going to feel like **** for not introducing myself if you were standing right next to us.
The guy you're thinking of is Phil's youngest brother. Phil was there with his two brothers.

Dude, It is 100% cool. Let me say this. I have gone to at least 5 Tool shows in the last few years, been backstage at all of them. This was the best concert I had ever been to! I had a perfect, unobstructed view of the stage the whole show. Hell, if I had wanted down, the security guy at section 116 was gone half the time, I could have "accidentally" wandered down, but I LOVED my seats. You notice that big curved speaker hanging to the right of the stage, it was pointed right at me man! There were only two things that could have made last night any better:

1.) Get to meet Geddy, Al, and Neil

2.) Have $500 because that leather jacket was bad ***!!!!!

[Sooner_Havok]

And what's up with the chicken?

It is to fill the space were Geddy would have kept his bass amplifiers.

[SoonerStormchaser]

yah...too bad I couldn't have had some afterwards...mmmmmmm...chicken snack

[OUDoc]

The guy you're thinking of is Phil's youngest brother. Phil was there with his two brothers.

My wife swore the guy in Stormchaser's picture (Stormchaser) was next to Phil, I told her he wasn't (we met Phil's brothers before the concert). My wife is usually correct in those situations, just not this time.

[SoonerStormchaser]

I don't think Phil would mind me being related to him. ;) :eek:

[bluedogok]

I think a lot of that is due to the fact that those have become the high dollar/VIP seats, those with money to blow on them can't get too into it or they wouldn't be "cool"....much like the high dollar donors at football/basketball games :rolleyes:

When I worked at Sound Warehouse we used to get a bunch of front row tickets, and we also used them instead of brokering them. Now they are for a different type of "fan".

I think they like their little inside jokes, like the dryers in the last tour.

[SoonerStormchaser]

Yah...I watched a LOT of people moving into my section from the nosebleed areas once the concert started...only to move back to their original seats once the people with the tickets for those seats started showing up around "Mission." C'mon people...you paid good money for those seats, why are you finally showing up 1/4 of the way into the concert? This could be their last time in Oklahoma...or on the road EVAR.

One thing, and maybe LAS can answer this. This was my third concert, and thus far, I've heard them play something from every single album EXCEPT Presto, which is my favorite album. In fact, the only concert CD/DVD I've seen that even plays a song from Presto is "Rush in Rio" where they play "The Pass." Was that album not that popular with the rest of the fans or is there some other reason why they don't put any of those songs in the set?

[the_ouskull]

They did a lot of drugs back then and forgot that they made that album?

I'm just guessing seeing as I'm not a fan. I probably wouldn't have ever heard of them if so many older drummers didn't always gush on and on about Rush's drummer. Nell something or other... :D

[OUDoc]

Nell Carter, she rocks.

the_ouskull

If LASooner was here, he'd vBitchSmack you!

[bluedogok]

Presto was 1989, they were pretty much well beyond the "drug stage" by then if they ever had that "stage" at all. Never heard much about them and drugs. Show Don't Tell was probably the biggest song off that album. They just have so much material that some is going to be left off the set list. They played a few things that they haven't played in recent tours.

[SoonerStormchaser]

True...but I'm still waiting for "Available Light."

[BigRedJed]

Love Rush. One of my all time favorite rock bands, ever. I've seen them a couple of times, both pre-Presto, which I have ZERO love for. I would have loved to make it the other night. Still, it would have been purely a trip down memory lane. They started losing

it with Grace Under Pressure (changed producers for that one, if I remember), and totally jumped the shark with Power Windows. Their last great album was Signals. Sorry, but it's true

Neg away...

[SoonerStormchaser]

Actually, my favorite albums are Power Windows through Roll The Bones...so I guess it goes to show it's all a matter of perspective.

[BigRedJed]

Yes. Yes it does.

;)

[Sooner_Havok]

I think the new album is pretty damned good. No, it isn't a Permanent Waves, but is pretty legit.

No need to neg you for your opinion on this...but I think that Snakes n Arrows stacks up favorably against GUP and even Moving Pictures.

Neg away. ;)

[BigRedJed]

Hey, I'll bet there are a ton of people who think some of the stuff the Rolling Stones did post-Some Girls is their best work ever. Not that Tattoo You wasn't a pretty darn good album. Do you smell what I'm stepping in?

[SoonerStormchaser]

We'll just all agree that Moving Pictures was their most radio friendly album and leave it at that.

[SoonerStormchaser]

Heh...my flight commander's wife made him give up his tix to the concert to watch his daughter in a ballet recital that got out at 6:30. After he found out just how great the concert was (and my showing him my kickass pic), he immediately booked tix to go see em in Denver in July.

[LosAngelesSooner]

Heh.

Sweeeeeet.

[C&CDean]

Dudes, my all-time favorite Rush album - BAR NONE - is "Rush." Before Peart. Back when they just played R&R and ****. Everything since then is OK, but pales by comparison. Most of you Rush lovers don't even consider it when talking about them, but there's nary a bad tune on the album.

Neg away.

I actually have that album.

http://www.progreviews.com/reviews/images/Rush-Rush.jpg

Peart is a giant stud, though.

[C&CDean]

Oh I do not question the greatness of Peart as a drummer, it's just that the band's music isn't as good as it was on Rush.

[OUDoc]

I like that album quite a bit, but think they've done much better since.

I dunno about you guys, but I get up at 7 yah and go to work at 9.

Oooh I need some....... love...

WTH ever. Working Man is my favorite Rush tune, ever.

[BigRedJed]

Plus, Finding My Way pretty sounds pretty much like it was recorded by Led Zeppelin. Eerily Plant and Page like. The entire album sounds like it was made by an LZ tribute band, in fact. Just straightass RYFFO rocky goodness.

[SoonerStormchaser]

Why don't you hate John Rutsey, :dean:?

[bluedogok]

I actually have that album.

http://www.progreviews.com/reviews/images/Rush-Rush.jpg

I have the 8-Track........I still haven't bought the CD as most of the songs that I know off it are on Chronicles. I will have to pick up it and Fly By Night one of these days as they are the only ones that I do not have on CD.

[SoonerStormchaser]

I have ALL their albums. What do I win?

[bluedogok]

I have them ALL in some form, some multiples in 8-track, LP, Cassette and CD.

[OUDoc]

I have ALL their albums. What do I win?
Not in album form. I actually have the first old-*** vinyl album, not a CD. I don't even have a way to play it anymore (my son broke my turntable).

[olevetonahill]

Ok Im gonna remove all doubt.
Who or What Is Rush ?

Ok...then I'll reform my statement...I have all their CD's. Now what do I win?

[Sooner_Havok]

Ok...then I'll reform my statement...I have all their CD's. Now what do I win?

You win the right to send me that Rush leather jacket! Good Job!:D :D

Nah...he's bringing it to the tailgates this fall, though.

Hey, I'll bet there are a ton of people who think some of the stuff the Rolling Stones did post-Some Girls is their best work ever. Not that Tattoo You wasn't a pretty darn good album. Do you smell what I'm stepping in?

Agreed. The Stones aren't nearly as good as Rush. ;)

[OKC-SLC]

Agreed. The Stones aren't nearly as good as Rush. ;)

heh.

[Sooner_Havok]

Agreed. The Stones aren't nearly as good as Rush. ;)

Haven't aged as well as Rush, thats for sure :D

[SoonerStormchaser]

Have consumed more drugs than Rush as well.

[LosAngelesSooner]

Wore more tights than Rush.

[SoonerStormchaser]

Have bigger lips than Rush

[SoonerStormchaser]

On a differnt note, I'm listening to my "Snakes and Arrows: LIVE" album and absolutely loving the fact I met Geddy and Alex. LAS, I owe you from here to eternity!!!

[LosAngelesSooner]

Hey, man. I'm just glad I could make it happen for ya. :)

[OKC-SLC]

I went to the show in KC last night. I'd never seen them live before, and I was exceedingly impressed. They are even more skilled than I ever thought now that I've seen them live. Great set list, played some great stuff off Snakes and Arrows but played just about the exact older songs that I would have wanted if I could have chosen.

Geddy came back after the intermission wearing a KU Basketball National Championship T-shirt, which obviously went over very well here in KC.

Great show.

[SoonerStormchaser]

Hells yes!

[LosAngelesSooner]

I tried to get Geddy to wear a Sooner's t-shirt before the OKC show, but it was a NoGo. Didn't have a cool enough one with me. :(

[OKC-SLC]

I tried to get Geddy to wear a Sooner's t-shirt before the OKC show, but it was a NoGo. Didn't have a cool enough one with me. :(

That's unfortunate. The KU one wasn't anything special last night. Maybe he's a closet Gayhawk fan?

Sooners shirt would have rawked, though.

[LosAngelesSooner]

Nah. He's just "playin' to the fans."

Regardless...next tour there will be a Sooner Schooner hidden on stage. Book it. ;)

[OKC-SLC]

Excellent.

I think it should be 'hidden' right in front of Peart's bass drum.

[OKC-SLC]

Or maybe a big azz Schooner can be the new Henhouse or washer/dryer.

[soonerboomer93]

if he's not an OU fan then i'd rather he not "play to the crowd"

but then i'm not a rush fan

but then again, if it was a band i'm a fan of, i feel the same way

[pilobolus]

Just wondering if anyone plans to attend the September 21 show at the BOK in Tulsa?

[SoonerStormchaser]

Might be...depends on if I'm TDY/Deployed...

[Lott's Bandana]

Went to this show in KCMO...it was outdoors and awesome. Go in Tulsa if you can.

I video'd this motivation:

Dr. Phil...
I'll hit ya up if I end up going to the T-town concert.

[Phil]

That's why we ended up on the same plane home. Ta da!

Hey, I've slept since then. I can't be held accountable for remembering what happened three weeks ago.

[pilobolus]

I read that Geddy's voice was a little rough in KC? Maybe due to it being the second show of the tour and he's getting the pipes tuned up? Also heard the Dream Theater drummer was in the crowd and gave the show multiple thumbs up! I can vouch for the Albuquerque show, just hearing Camera Eye makes it worth going.

Watch my video, decide for yourself about his voice.

[LosAngelesSooner]

I'm glad you guys are enjoying the tour so far. Wish I could get away to watch it with you, but I'm just too danged busy this year. Blech...

[SoonerStormchaser]

I can't make it guys...sorry...just got the official word yesterday.

[pilobolus]

It's tomorrow night, anyone else in? I'll be in my suite, bitches.:texan:

[Sooner_Havok]

It's tomorrow night, anyone else in? I'll be in my suite, bitches.:texan:

Would be, but sadly I lack the funds to. I got to see em in OKC though, so I got that going for me. :D

[soonerbrat]

no. i hate them.

[pilobolus]

no. i hate them.

Hate is such a powerful word. What did they ever do to you?

[soonerbrat]

Hate is such a powerful word. What did they ever do to you?

let me rephrase. I hate their music. I'm sure they are very nice people.

Then GTFO this thread!

[A Sooner in Texas]

My 17-year-old son is going Saturday night to the show in The Woodlands, which is outdoors. He's so excited, he can't stand it. Sounds like a good show...for him. I'm pretty meh about Rush.

[pilobolus]

I am so stoked I might even look up if there are Wichita tickets left and go see that show too. The boys are ripping it up on this tour, even if the "comedy" shorts are kind of weak.

Posting for the first time in about eleventy million days just to say that I am going to be in the BOK tonite to have my face rocked off!!!

[Grimey]

I'm bout to turn into MC peepants I'm so excited!

[pilobolus]

Great show, now Tom Petty on Thursday, because Tulsa>>>>OKC...

[GDC]

Saw them in El Paso last night, front and center. Great show as always, even if Geddy flubbed a line in Spirit of Radio and jumped the gun on another song, much to Neil and Alex's amusement.
