I like Rush, my stepson and his Dad are fanatics. According to them, Rush was the first concert at the Joe when it opened way back when, so it is a sentimental choice. I can't see any other reason it would be there, I can't remember the last time a concert was there instead of the Palace, if it had to be indoors.
 
I doubt it will interfere with the Wings though, they are having way to good a regular season to still be playing in June. LOL

I got my tix for the Holmdel, NJ show!  2 Rush concerts in 2 years, can't beat it!

But I am pretty disappointed with this 'pre' sale.  I was still only able to get seats in the 3rd section from the stage, and not for cheap either!  How is a 'regular' guy supposed to get good seats for a concert?  It seems like they don't even sell them through public means.

I even tried to get 1 ticket in the good seats just to see if it was a quantity thing.  I got 1 seat in the back of the 2nd section from the stage, feh.

I wish they would play the camera eye live.. but i doubt it.

Thanks for the correction.  I knew there was a pattern.  Guess I should have double checked before typing. Embarrassed

There was once a time where they had a pattern of releasing a live album after every third album.  After the third album, they would in a sense change their sound for a three album period and then release another third album.  Nowadays, they seem to be releasing more live albums than studio albums.  Not really a complaint though, more opportunities to hear more songs live.

I'm also surprized to see that when they come to KC they're going to have the show at Starlight.  I saw them when they came here this past Aug (my 2nd time).   If the rumors are true about Yes touring again I won't be going to see Rush too....money is tight.

OK, looking at www.rushisaband.com, we have to wait to, maybe, August.
 
I've heard that before.
