Rush

[Ascendingthethrone]

Front row tickets cost £529.75 at the O2.

You can see them from up in the gods for £78.10 (furthest rows of seats; prices increase to £111.60 the "closer" you get to the stage in those sections).

As far as I am concerned, they can go and fuck themselves.

Thanks for the details. Hard pass.

Yeah, I took a hard pass on the U.S. Rush shows due to price and their not playing close enough to where I live. I considered consoling myself with the Grace Under Pressure box set, which looks pretty awesome in terms of content, but they want $300 for it! Literally double what they should even consider charging. No thanks.

Grace Under Pressure is one of my fav spirits albums by them. I was really excited about the boxset. Again it is a hard pass from me.

I am not being cranky, but I am sick and tired of bands charging the earth for products like this. I want to support bands by buying physical media, but I can stream all the music for this album from Apple Music. The physical music space is a pricing mess at the moment.

There is still hope from some bands. I picked up a 4 CD anniversary set of Warning by Green Day for £17.

I’m going to see the show in Oslo. Don’t really care for what they did after Presto, but me and two relatives went to the show in 2007, so we are basically just going again just because we feel nostalgic from that show

Listened to the “Distant Early Warning” Terry Brown remix (stereo, as I don’t have equipment that would support Atmos), and it sounds really good to my ears. More prominent bass, and just a fundamentally better balance between the instruments.

Now I’m more curious about the full album remix, as well as the other remixed albums.

I gave this one listen on my EarPods this morning and did not get on with the mix at all. I’ll stick to the original.

I’m going back on myself. I listened to the mix in the car and it sounded excellent.

The new mix sounds really good, lots of clarity between instruments, very spacious across the ears. I’m not as big on the ‘creative’ decisions though, I think I prefer the big synth riff not panned all the way on the right (sorry Alex) and I prefer the more homogenous layering of the chorus in center that the original mix had.

Apple Earpods: Booo
Toyota Yaris speakers: Wooo!

The view from those £78.10 seats should be good (e.g., sections 415 and 416) in case you are prepared to fork out that amount of money. I have a pre-sale code in case you need one.

A very kind offer but I think I will pass on this occasion. The main thing I was left thinking when I saw the prices was, 'I wish I'd gone to the Clockwork Angels tour'!

I am considering it. Rush at their best are excellent, but they can be a bit boring at worst. For me at least. Did I read somewhere that they will do two sets? So a quite long gig most likely. I think 2 hours would be the sweet spot. Maybe 2h 15-20 mins.

Haha, that's madness.
