Jahfin Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/articl...t_id=1003688227 Rush Jonathan Cohen, N.Y. After finishing 2007 with the No. 25 top-grossing tour of the year, Rush will return to the road for a 40-plus-date outing next April in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The Canadian rock trio will make rare visits to such locales as Austin, Texas; Orlando, Fla.; New Orleans; Jacksonville, Fla.; and Winnipeg, Manitoba, and will play as-yet-unannounced new venues in Chicago; Detroit; Philadelphia and Seattle. The full itinerary will be unveiled next month. This year's tour in support of the album "Snakes & Arrows" grossed $29.7 million and drew more than 517,000 fans to 48 shows reported to Billboard Boxscore. Rush recently scored a Grammy nomination in the best rock instrumental performance for the "Snakes & Arrows" track "Malignant Narcissism." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muse Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 If they come to Utah I'll finally be able to see them with my uncles and cousins... They've come 3-4 times in the past 5 or so years and I've never heard about it until AFTER my uncles and cousins have got the tickets. Not gonna miss 'em again.

the Octagon Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Seems like Rush rarely dissapoints in their live shows. I saw them back in September and they were spot on, good setlist, good performance, and there were some pretty good video segments in between numbers.

Jahfin Posted December 26, 2007 Author Share Posted December 26, 2007 Definitely one of the best live shows I've ever seen. I've been a fan since the 70s but never saw them live until the 90s during the tours for Roll the Bones and Counterparts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rorer714 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Wow, my favourite era and album Moving Pictures, I would of loved to have seen them then, I did see them years later though !!! I bought that album when I was on leave from the Marine Corps. It had just been released and a good friend of mine and I listened to that record over and over.We were absolutely blown away by it.I knew that record inside and out.When I came back to the base two weeks later another friend said that he had tickets to see Rush that following month.I gladly went and they played in a venue that held no more than 3000 people.The sound quality and their precision was incredible.They played the whole Moving Pictures album and I was amazed by their attention to detail! I remember thinking,'That's a lot of noise coming from 3 dudes' I love that album too!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got into AC/DC, Iron Maiden in 1980, I got their debut albums when they came out, great stuff !! Then someone lent me Deep Purple In Concert and I knew there was more, great band Purple and would ( now I am thinking about it) listen to that album, Deepest purple too. My life really changed when I borrowed a copy of LZ II and the rest is history !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mona Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I came to CO to see Rush at Red Rocks in August for a one night only sold out show. What an awesome venue and state. I heard from some of the native residents in CO that winters are not bad there. I saw on the news last year that they were feeding cattle from helicopters!!! That is bad IMO!!!! The tentative 08 Tour includes Red Rocks Again!!! The dates will be released mid January. Feeding cattle from helicopters? What on earth are you talking about? But yeah, the winters here are sometimes bad, and sometimes not so bad. I think the spring is much worse, personally, when it comes to snowfall and everything. There have been a few times in the past couple of years where we were literally snowed in because of blizzards. Not fun, but at least it melts eventually. But thank you for the list! I will definatly try to bug my dad into going when the dates are actually released. Red Rocks is my favorite venue here, and it's very close to my house too. It's also a good place to go walking if you want to get some exercise and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mona Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Here is a link to one article from CBS News. You gotta love it!!! Enjoy. Link Oh god, I hadn't heard of that. I remember a couple years ago they moved a moose somewhere by carrying it on a helicopter, but I don't remember feeding cattle from one. Actually, the worst part about the winter storms here is trying to go out and do anything after the storms are done. seriously, even after they plow, it's still difficult, because the snow just piles up like mountains.
