SWEET! I love RUSH.

My last concert was Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. I've seen them live over 20 times. I never miss them when they come to town., they're probably the only "band" that I'd go see live now-a-days.

[wobblypops]

I saw Areosmith too.

I still have my Petty tickets, I was too sick to go to that one. :(

Oh yeah, I forgot all about Def Leppard (which sucked).

I also saw 38 speacial, I forgot all about them. Huey Lewis opened up for them with their "I want a new drug tour"

[YankeeMary]

WOW Huey Lewis...lol. I forgot all about him. Sure glad you enjoyed it.

[wobblypops]

I swear they are the greatest band in concert EVER!

As hot as it was last night, when they played 2112: Overture/ The temples of Syrinx & A passage to Bankok I had goose pimples! :lol

They did have a strange thing on their stage & my friend said they had it at the other 3 concerts for this tour. Yes, he saw them 4 times alone just for this tour! They had these 3 huge rotisserie ovens that held, maybe, 30 or more whole chickens & they cooked during the whole concert! Every once in a while a person in a chicken suit would come out & see if they were cooking okay!

I guess they eat a lot of chicken! I was close enough to smell them & they sure did smell great! Guess what I'm cooking for dinner tonight?!?!?!!? Yep, rotisserie chicken!

[PrincessArky]

glad ya had a great time

[wobblypops]

Thanks, I really did! There was two drunks in front of me that I could have done without but other than that the night was perfect. I had to stop the drunks from falling over into me at least 5 times & the one guy was really tall but when he saw I was having a hard time seeing over him, he switched places with his wife so I could see better.

[catdance]

I love Poison & I have a friend who grew up with Brett. I have a personal picture of the two of them that I keep in my head board so I get to sleep with Brett every night! :lol

I wish I could remember the first time I saw Rush, I guess I'm going to have to get my ticket stub book out & go over everything when I add the stub from last night!

[MistyWolf]

I seen Rush the first time in the early 80's .. I did have all my ticket stubs, but when my purse was stolen those went bye-bye.
