This is a momentous night for Irish Rush fans. Let's hope they might come back to us next time too!

Have they been on Irish Radio for interview at all?

If not, maybe Jools Holland on BBC!

Geddy was on Nova on Wednesday (The interview is online if you want to give it a listen) and someone told me he was on Newstalk yesterday.

Woke up at 6am this morning thinking "cant remember anything about the Rush gig last night, oh right, its tonight! Woohoo!" :pac:

If my hangover from last night could kindly feck off in time for the gig I'd be chuffed. In the meantime - listening to 2112 in work.

I'd wager they will be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame sooner than appearing on Later with...

Have a standing ticket, but to be honest I'm dreading standing for that long! Should be worth it, though, if the area is as small as people are saying. I'll be looking for the railing as well!!

CiaranK · 12-05-2011 4:13pm

Is the standing area smaller than normal?

Yep. Looking at the seating charts, about 60-70% of the standing area is taken up by seats.

Us standers will be in a rather exclusive club

Hi.
Mate of mine has seated ticket and the rest of us have standing.
What are they like in o2 for requesting a favour?

johnnyivan · 12-05-2011 4:25pm

Tom Sawyer on Newstalk now

moomooman · 12-05-2011 4:25pm

I wanted a standing ticket because I was seated for Paul McCartney in the nosebleeds in the O2 and felt a bit jealous of the people down in the throng.

That wasnt a 3 1/2 hour gig though :rolleyes:

johnnyivan · 12-05-2011 4:25pm

Er... about 20 seconds.

peter1892 · 12-05-2011 5:25pm

I remeber buying 'Different Stages' and thinkignt hat I'd enevr ever get to se them live (assuming they were no longer together after everything Neil had gone through).

I was wrong of course

Mathiasb · 12-05-2011 9:39pm

In the o2 now, intermission. Oh they're back! Its brilliant!!!!ko

Mathiasb · 12-05-2011 11:58pm

Well. What do you guys say? It was massively super awesome... the place was full, I'd say >90% of tickets sold or so.

Very long show, sound was good, Geddy's voice was top notch, it was all just grand

GLaDOS · 13-05-2011 12:00am

Everything I hoped for and more.

Really enjoyed the videos

just in what a show !!! What a brilliant night .I was in the seats, and i was a bit surprised how subdued some of the audience was, strange. In hindsight, i reckon i should have gone against my mates and got standing tickets, the crack seemed better down there. Still, after waiting 31 years and travelled half way round europe to see them, i finally got to see Rush in Dublin. Roll on the 21st and newcastle

darragh666 · 13-05-2011 12:54am

Brilliant.

And when I thought they ran out of songs for the encore they play La Villa Strangiato!!!

Then working man with a reggae intro.

Amazing night.
