Always good to see another Rush fan!

I have all of their studio and live albums, plus Geddy's solo CD and Alex's Victor CD. All the concert DVDs, plus Neil Peart's "A Work in Progress" instructional DVD.

Fun fact, I've seen each Rush tour except one (two if you count the 30th anniversary) since 1985. The one I missed was due to a med school rotation that did not allow any time away. I didn't see them on the R30 tour because there was no album to support unless you count "Feedback".

The number of different arenas is fun to recount because it paints the pitcure of where I was at the time:

April 25, 1986: Power Windows tour, the Omni, Atlanta, GA (senior year, high school, Athens, GA)
March 2, 1988: Hold Your Fire tour, Market Square Arena, Indianapolis, IN (sophomore year, University of Notre Dame)
March 8, 1990: Presto tour, The Palace at Auburn Hills, MI (senior year, N.D.)
March 5, 1992: Roll the Bones tour, the Carolina Coliseum, Columbia, SC (lived in NC, met a friend from high school halfway between our houses)
February 24, 1994: Counterparts tour, the Omni, Atlanta, GA (medical school, Augusta, GA)
1996-1997 (missed Test for Echo tour)
July 9, 2002: Vapor Trails tour, Nissan Pavilion, Bristow, VA (have lived/worked in VA since 2001)
June 23, 2007: Snakes and Arrows tour, Nissan Pavilion - with pmbuko!

Maybe if my wife lets me have more than one room in the house, I can keep the Simpsons room and add a "Rush room" ...

I'll go out on a limbaugh and say you're not getting a Rush room.

Wow...I was just playing Rock Band with my nephew/niece/brother-in-law (early 30's). When I saw Tom Sawyer I said "we *have* to play that next" They all looked at me and said "who's Rush?"

They never heard of Boston either! Oh well.

JP - that's an impressive concert-going streak. I'm on about the same page as you CD/DVD-wise, though I hadn't heard of Peart's DVD, I'll have to check that one out.

On the tours, I am insanely jealous. I've been to 3 shows, one of which was the one you missed (in Denver, great show by the way) ;).

They're an awesome band and I can't wait for the Blu-Ray to come out in November.

Hansang - what a sad story! Even more than that, what really annoys me about Rock Band is that most of those songs are cover bands instead of the real band. (I don't actually have the game, but some friends do...) Would it be that hard to get license rights from the band for the game? Bah!

OhioKyle - by the way, you are now an official Axiom Forum member. The first requirement is to have your host completely hijacked, which now has occurred. Take hear though, at any point you can turn it back in the direction you started, or take the conversation in a completely new direction and we'll all follow blindly along.

Well, they can count themselves as fortunate for never having heard of Boston, at least... *runs and hides*

Wow, lots of input.



Uhh, never heard of them; wonder what that says about me. A friend from work gave me a copy of Juno to watch and I thought it was fairly good.



Ahh, now you're talkin. My personal collection is heavy on things going BOOM.



Most of my music is two channel, background listening. I have an open floor plan and can listen is most of the house. Style wise is mostly acoustic (Damien Rice) or alternative (Cold Play, Snow Patrol, Nada Surf).

Yep, Mains and sub first. I bought my system as music first, but I really do enjoy those 'things that go boom' movies a lot more now that I have a sub.
