I’ve got a ticket to see Rush, who I missed the last time round. Tickets only went on sale yesterday, and were almost sold out by the afternoon. Don’t know if they’ve pencilled in a second date, but I wasn’t prepared to take the risk that they wouldn’t. A seat up in the gods is still better than missing out altogether.
The subject line comes from a comment from my late grandmother, said when she saw a few seconds of Geddy Lee singing ‘Temples of Syrinx’ on video in the mid 1980s. Surely nobody with hair that long and a voice that high could possibly be a bloke…
I have to say that none of the girl singers I’ve seen this year could be described as ‘plain’.
Heheheh!
Enjoy Rush — I haven’t seen them since Marillion opened for them at Radio City during the Misplaced Childhood tour.
Marillion opening for Rush? That must have been a great gig. I have a feeling the last (and only) time I saw Rush was about the same time. Marillion were a headline act in the own right in Britain by then.
Of course, Rush play such a long set nowadays they don’t have an opening act.
I’m going to be seeing Marillion for the ninth time in June, one of five(!) gigs I’ve got that month. Will be seeing Fish in September too.
