Concerts - 2002

[wildfyr]

rahvin: are you serious! look at the most of the 1st half of the year.

Q: have you ever gone to a show by yourself?

Miolo: Rush was probably the best show of the year, i think. for a few reasons.

1) the seat i managed to get at the very last minute. i purchased my (one, $75 ) ticket at the box office just after the show got underway and managed to get so close it was scary. i'll never forget it.
2) they're a mega-talented band and they played an incredible set.
3) hadn't seen them in over 5 years.

worth every penny. i do hope you get a chance to see them sometime.

edit: :^)

 

[rahvin]

@wildfyr: A: no, and i suppose i wouldn't (unless it were vnv nation or dark tranquillity) because i find it a little sad, a bit like going to the movies alone.
and yes, i was seriously interested in shows experience no matter the show, or let's say almost.

[wildfyr]

i used to think it was sad. sometimes still do occassionally. but more and more i've become accustomed to it.

going to shows is one way to break up the Internet monotony!

[Humanure]

Didn't go to too many last year, but the ones I did go to were goodies. DT/IF/Sentanced was my favorite, though, just slightly ahead of Iced Earth/IF/Jag Panzer.

....Wow, I think the only other show I went to was Manowar/Immortal. Immortal played almost all new shit, which I wasn't into, and Manowar was, well, Manowar!

 

[Miolo]

@wildfyr: thanks. i hope they change their minds and come again to europe. how long was the show? did they play much of the older stuff?

rahvin.

whaaa? you're breaking up. i can't understand you either. static? (-;

 

[Miolo]

@wildfyr: i want a show like that here. *thinks about the possibilities of actually having a show like that here*

and they did even La Villa Strangiato. (best instrumental of all times, in case you didn't know )

[Thortyir]

Why not a Rush + Dream Theater + Porcupine tree tour?????

 

[Thortyir]

I love to see some open-minded people like you!!!

change Porcupine Tree with Spock's Beard and i'd kill for that.

not that i don't like Porcupine Tree, of course.

[ricochet]

I need to move somewhere that gets better and more concerts...

 

[The holy one]

No great shows come here... but it has and I missed most of them because of financial problems.

My favorite was Blindguardian/Symphony X (out of all of the ones I've watched).

 

[wildfyr]

Miolo: i hope you get a Rush show there. :hotjump:
mmmm, instrumentals. La Villa crushes. so many good ones to choose from... *cough* YYZ *cough*

 

[Miolo]

@wildfyr: thanks. i know, YYZ is another incredible piece of music, but since "Hemispheres" is my favourite Rush record and i heard "La Villa Strangiato" before than "YYZ", i prefer that one (an exercise in self-indulgence ).

am i changing this concert based thread in a Rush based one?

Miolo ( )

 

[wildfyr]

Miolo: we can try to steer the thread into another direction. yeah! why not? anyone can do it.

dark tranquillity? don't they usually issue a "we're leaving" post before they head off for a tour?

should we be concerned?
