Happy 2112 Day!
Received this image from Freewill, a great Rush tribute band
May you have a great day of music and dystopian literature!
Hope you get to see Geddy, Alex and Niles not Neal before the holiday next year!

saw a percussion group tonight. Got me thinking about Craig, hope he gets to make all the Rush concerts next year and that there aren't ticketmaster fees in the afterlife
after the percussion group a kid with an upright bass came out an literally slapped out some music, now I'm listening to Geddy's autobiography

Went from no Rush shows to a pair
I splurged to get mid-level tickets for sis, kidling and I
they weren't "home equity line of credit" expensive, but each cost the same as the pair of 2nd row seats I got for sis and I last tour a decade ago. Getting to take kidling to a Rush show is awesome
A friend who missed pre-sale wanted cheap seats for him and his kidling if I could join them, so now we have nosebleed seats, not from the height, rather from the cost of the cheap seats
21 minutes in, still no onsale
The resale parasites probably got most of the seats during citibank pre-sale on Friday anyway ...
listening to Caress of Steel waiting for the onsale that supposedly started 10 minutes ago to be available
They're trying to make us miss standing in line for hours
Denver onsale doesn't seem to be starting on time
"Tickets for this event have been priced in advance by the tour from $105.05 - $ 184.35, including service fees."
more more shows added for Rush Fiftysomething tour next year
They're doubling up on some cities
https://www.rush.com/tour/fifty-something/
I hope the new shows won't be as highly priced as the first round, but doubt ticketmaster will consider reasonable pricing
There are two bands I regret never having seen live. Pink Floyd and Rush.
Thank to the Fifty Something tour, and a new touring drummer, I'm getting to see Rush in July.
No, not the same without Neal Peart, but by all accounts Anika Nilles is up to the task. That both Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson are enthusiastic about her playing is a strong endorsement.
