Rush: Fifty Something Tour

$350 each - - next years holiday sorted - close to my 60th and as I haven’t seen them since Berlin 2013 and never thought I would again I had to do it

Been telling Mrs Freckletooth “this is it they’ll never tour again” since I met her just before HYF tour 1988 😂
I joked to our lass about taking me to New York for my birthday (big one coming up 😬) and taking me to see Rush.


"I'm not going to watch Rush like." :lol: Daft woman.
 

Lifeson and Morello...

Not sure who the other players are. Singer sounds canny.

When I met my ex wife she had more records than me ,very similar tastes in music, except my fiddly widdly muso stuff . Dragged her to R30 tour in Manchester and she loved it . She was pregnant at the time so even my son got a bit bass .

For Fifty Something, Lee and Lifeson will be accompanied by German drummer, composer, and producer Anika Nilles, who has performed as Jeff Beck’s drummer for over 60 shows and has released four solo albums. The band announces today, they will also be joined by keyboard player Loren Gold (The Who, Roger Daltrey).
“We can’t wait to get back to all these cities we haven’t played in so long, as well as hitting some new places we’ve yet to play. Both Alex and I are loving the hours of rehearsal time we’re spending with Anika and now Loren, learning around 40 songs which will enable us to keep the shows evolving, playing some different songs on different nights. We are thrilled that many of our longstanding crew have come back to help us design the kind of RUSH show that fans have grown accustomed to expect from us. We dearly hope you will come along and help us celebrate 50 years of Rush music, while giving Neil the long overdue tribute he so richly deserves.” - Geddy Lee

Reckon it could be difficult to get tickets but will be on it and trying.
 
I’ll be trying (and probably failing) to get London tickets too. I did notice that the US dates in the summer aren’t 100% sold out. There are the few odd seats at almost all of the venues albeit at a price. I dare say the exclusive packages will be available for a while longer and so I may dip into the savings if I have to.

I last saw them at Newcastle City Hall in about 1980/81. It’ll be interesting to hear what they’ve been up and recorded in the last 45 years or so.
