Any Rush fans here?

I will readily admit to being a huge Rush fan.

I will readily admit to being able to play a decent percentage of their catalog on the bass.

Thus - I am a geek

In July, they're going to be in and around the area, and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a) going and b) riding to the show?

In case you didn't know, the drummer, Neil Peart, is an accomplished touring rider - to say the least. [moto]

I'm probably going to suck up the cost for a really good seat through StubHub or something.  FWIW.

This months BMW Owner's news has an extensive article on him touring on his BMW with some fellow riders.

Tommy - I am a huge Rush fan & if you can play their stuff on bass, I'd say that is a pretty good accomplishment (I don't think Geddy Lee gets the recognition he deserves)

I never thought liking Rush = being a geek - although with a lot of their music being sci-fi themed, I can see the connection.

Where are they playing, I may be down (if the tix are reasonable)

There are two dates - PNC Arts Center (down the GS Parkway a bit) on Saturday July 12th or Monday night the 14th at Jones Beach.  Lawn seats aren't too bad, but I was going to suck up the cost of a front section seat .

BTW - The guys in the band get all the recognition they need.

The band itself, though, will never be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and that is just fine with me.

I thought you meant Rush Limbaugh or Jeffery Rush 

I saw them at the garden, roll the bones tour.  Dunno if I'm quite ready to see them again.  Still have Rush on my MP3 player

Wow, that's the last time I saw them as well.  At least we're not old

I think I still have the RUSH 2112 concert jersey from the '80s in storage somewhere
