Re: 1st intro, stay in the bar for 5mins extra. Re: Last intro, head for the exit, sorted.

I'm not a great fan of these intros, but everyone to their own, but they definitely won't be interfering in what will be a special night.

On a different note, I have received info on a cool T-shirt that will be available in a week or so time, featuring the guiness logo & the 2112 starman. Will be available to buy then, but no idea of cost as yet. I'm sure a few of you have probably seen design already, I for one will be getting one, way better than any of the official tour shirts I have seen. will post link here to view as soon as I recieve info.

I remember seeing some guys last time in London with similar sounding t-shirts, with the logo, Paddies On Tour. They were excellent.

AnalogueKid · 22-04-2011 7:09pm

That Guinness Starman t-shirt is pretty damn cool, a real keepsake. I'll have my Farewell to Kings t-shirt on at the gig, but I might be tempted to get the Guinness Starman t-shirt if it's not too pricey.

Should be available to buy on ebay this week, as soon as I recieve link, I will post here.

Just over 2 weeks now, won't be long going in. Looks to be selling well also, surprising how many closet Rush fans there must be.

yankinlk · 28-04-2011 8:08am

Hey all, Looking forward to the concert - been following this thread since it was announced. In a rush of excitement (pardon) I picked up 4 extra tickets that I don't think I will need - they are all together. If anyone is looking for some at a bargain price - I'm going to list them over in adverts on this username. Will sell in pairs. linky: http://www.adverts.ie/concerts-festivals/rush/570362

Just read your advert ... that Shaneosexual bloke seems a bit of a bull5hit artist ... one min he's saying he's selling his standing tickets on this very thread , next he's offering to buy your seating tix ... hhhhhmmmmmmm beware.

For your information I sold two of standing tickets cause my mates couldn't get over from England and I still had one standing ticket left for myself, but I didn't want to go alone. That's why I'm trying to get seated tickets because now another mate wants to go with me and we can't get him another standing ticket, so we're buying two seated ones.
So please don't sully my character or try sabotage my chances of getting my friend and I seated tickets. It's not very fair or nice considering all I want to do is attend a concert with a mate.

Crap interview with Geddy by Kevin Courtney in todays Irish Times: http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/theticket/2011/0429/1224295653900.html

Pity he didn't answer the question: "This is your first Irish visit. Why have you neglected us?" with "To avoid answering inane bull**** from assholes like you, you tool."

Deplasterer · 29-04-2011 10:42am

The royal wedding party were seen at a rock gig last nite, to keep the nerves in check:

Do women come to your shows of their own free will, or are they mostly dragged there by their husbands?

We let the women in if they insist on coming. Some of them are willing.

Hurry up! Hurry up!!! Can't wait any longer.....been too long since Stockholm!!!!!!!!!:pac::pac::pac:

torby · 01-05-2011 6:23pm

trust me guys....the show will be fantastic I have seen 3 different concert dates of this latest tour (all on HQ dvd distributed free between fans, easily found online if you are a true fan) and the shows are spectacular, the videos are an integral part of the gig, as for someone saying the animations and visuals are cheap and tacky ( I assume they're talking about the Moving Pictures section) I think they've missed the point....lol...

now if I can just figure out what time the carpark is available for those that pre purchased a parking ticket....any clues....last time I saw Rush I went to Glasgow...so parking wasn't a problem....this time I'm driving....

any update on the Guiness tee shirts yet?

And for anyone that's interested in getting such dvd's they can be found in the "Different Stages" thread at - TheRushForum

Or over at DIME, The best taper IMO is a guy called Tapehead2. He recorded the show at MSG April 10th and quality is amazing

seamunki · 02-05-2011 10:35pm

Evening All.
Latecomer to this thread. Been going to the UK to see RUSH since 1988 (with my Dad, who's also going May 12th!).

I've always sat at RUSH concerts before, but ended up on my feet like most others.
I'm happy to be standing at this gig!

Larry Gogan plays spirit of radio in its entirety on the golden hour.
thought I was hearing things.
You beauty. Must be a sign.
Check out radio Nova as they seem to be plugging the gig bigtime .
I cannot wait.

PTH2009 · 04-05-2011 4:13pm

Im going to the concert alone from Waterford. Im getting the kavanghs bus up and that stops at eden quay and the o2 is about 30 min walk from there i think its just a straight walk down.

Anyway when the concert is over the bus going back doesnt leave till 0.55am and the concert would be over 11.00-11.10. are the quays in dublin a safe place to be alone ???. I have be offerd a lift after the concert but that involves Someone driving up from Waterford in which i think is very spoiled of me but would that be a safer option than waiting around in dublin alone

PTH, even though you are on your own, doesn't mean you are going to be actually alone, it's Rush for F***s sake. A lot of us are meeting in Fibbers Ormonde Quay pre gig & drinks after then. You can meet there if you want, but there will be plenty craic pre & post gig.:D

To answer your question PTH - the Quays wouldn't be the safest place to be at night. Fair share of junkies / drunks and general scumbags with little or no Garda presence.

There are some late Rock bars along the Quays that should be busy with Rush fans for you to have some post-Gig drinks in until it's time for your bus.

Fibbers Rock Bar or Gypsy Rose

The European Leg of The Time Machine 2011 tour started last night in Helsinki.
Just one week to go to Rush in The O2, can't wait for this.
I haven't seen them before and had given up all hope for them to play in Ireland, but now it's going to happen. I feel a defining moment in my life approaching. Hopefully.

Mushy · 05-05-2011 8:38am

GIm the exact same, going to be immense. Next Thursday in work is going to be fun.

JBnaglfar · 05-05-2011 12:37pm

Like some others here, this will be my first time to see Rush. I have seen most of my favourite bands since I started going to gigs, but none of them compare to the excitement building up before this gig. The only thing close to it is the anticipation felt before my first ever gig. Not quite knowing what that first experience would bring, taking that first small step into the world of gigs - that feeling never quite returned with any gig since. Until now. Roll on the 12th.

I was thinking of going to this, then my first exam gets announced for the Friday, so no way in hell I can go now =/

PTH2009 · 05-05-2011 8:38pm

So the show starts at 8.00pm and theres a half an hour break and its 3.5 hours long so what time will the show be actually over.

i think they might do it this way.

8.00pm-start
9.15- Break
9.45- Second Half
11.15- End of show

Baggio1 · 05-05-2011 9:26pm

11.15 finish...... I hope so!!!

am behind the kit at 11.45 ahhah

Clacke · 05-05-2011 9:27pm

The show is actually around 2h 30m long and about a 20 minute interval, so will probably be over about 10.50.
By the way, the Guinness Starman T shirts are up on Ebay now but they're going very quickly.
