RUSH EN LIMA???? QUE!!

rush-2007-splash.jpg

Leo un digest de LA LATA y me encuentro con una cita al diario chileno El Mercurio donde hablan de la posibilidad que el trio toque en Chile.

Hasta ahi normal, pero leyendo la noticia con calma me doy con la sorpresa que dentro del periplo esta incluida Lima.

QUE?

Claro, la misma reacción la tuve cuando anunciaron la posibilidad de Waters en Lima y el tío llegó, tocó y le tapó la boca a los que seguían esperando a Bon Jovi.

Entro al blog oficial de la banda - si, ellos también tienen uno - y me entero que no solo es el desvarío de un fan optimista.

There’s also some very good news for our friends south of the equator; Rush will be playing several dates in South America. Indeed, they’ll be down their for nearly 2 weeks which likely means around 8 shows give or take. Brazil, Argentina, Peru, and Chile are about 80% confirmed at this point. The band also plans on recording one of these shows, but I’m unsure of the details or how this recording would be utilized.

Al parecer estamos entrando a la agenda de las grandes bandas - claro, de las añejas -  ¿quién podría dudar que sería un exito? casi no puedo creer la noticia.

Ahora solo toca esperar que se confirme la noticia y claro ir juntando para la mejor localidad posible (que toquen 2112 y podré morir feliz)

Hasta ahora solo es un rumor falta que la misma banda confirme las fechas, pero por siaca desde ya iré ahorrando, RUSH no es un grupo de grandes masas pero de hecho que quienes los traigan van a poner las entradas por las nubes.

Por favor, que no se trate solo de un rumor. Rush en vivo en nuestro país sería un acontecimiento que no tendría comparación con ningún concierto pasado ni futuro. No puedo ni siquiera imaginarlo.

#8 Ernesto on 12.07.07 at 4:41 am

Sería lo máximo, ojala vengann!!!

#9 eduardo on 12.09.07 at 12:12 pm

Rush, qué honor. Todo el Snake and Arrows es impresionante. Y !2112! !Moving Pictures!, los clásicos de la banda. Ojala que vengan sería un sueño hecho realidad

#11 Julio Ruiz G. on 12.11.07 at 11:06 am

Sería lo mejor de lo mejor que Rush venga. Mi hijo de 8 años esta feliz, por Rush es rockero.

#12 Chicho on 12.13.07 at 9:06 am

Aclaración, el blog http://www.rushisaband.com no esta afiliado oficialmente a la banda, lo bueno ha sido que los rumores publicados en ese blog se han hecho realidad.

Rush 2008 Snakes & Arrows tour venue list
Posted at 7:05PM | link | comments (94) | general chat
UPDATE - 12/19@11:02PM: The pending New Hampshire show would be at the Verizon Wireless Arena (added to the list) sometime in July. That brings us up to 48 possible venues! However, from what I know, there will probably be no more than 43 actual cities covered - so 5 or so of the pending venues will likely be dropped. This will all be based on geography and availability; for instance - if the Rhode Island gig falls through than the New Hampshire gig is more likely to happen and vice versa.

The Jones Beach show is set for July 14 (Bastille Day!).

The band is still penciled in to play the Quebec City 400th anniversary celebration in the week of July 4th - but nothing is definite yet. Also, the original plan was to close out the tour here but that doesn’t seem to be the case any longer.

—– snip —–

UPDATE - 12/19@9:42PM: One more thing that I’d forgotten to emphasize in all the excitement; none of this information is in any way official. So I wouldn’t bother trying to contact Anthem/SRO about it - it is unlikely to yield any results. :) We’ll all get the official word in a few weeks.

UPDATE - 12/19@9:15PM: Yet more updates … (sorry- I just keep getting new info!) The Rhode Island gig should actually be listed as pending (I updated the list). And good news for Boston fans - TD Banknorth Garden will host Rush in July (I added to the list). There’s also a New Hampshire gig pending - not sure of the venue yet though, so I’ll keep it off the list for now. Some of you also noted that Van Andel Arena is actually in Grand Rapids - not Detroit (I updated the list). However… don’t count Detroit out just yet… :)

The Atlantic City date is supposed to happen on July 4th. Still no word on whether they’ll still be playing the Quebec City 400th anniversary celebration; I’m trying to get some info on that.

And… this is REALLY cool… an IMAX crew will be filming one of the shows!!! Not sure which one yet. Wow.

Also a reminder that - as I reported in November - the official tour date announcement will occur in the 2nd week of January with tickets going on sale at the end of January and early February.

And finally - let’s remember that this info is still all subject to changes/additions at this point. I will report anything I find out as soon as I can. One thing that several of you asked about was the Philadelphia show alluded to in the Rush press release and I’m not sure what’s up with that. I’ll see what I can find out.

—– snip —–

UPDATE - 12/19@7:23PM: Oops! Left out a couple … see the bottom of the list. Looks like they are going back to Red Rocks too. 46 now!

Just last week Rush officially announced the 2008 extension of the Snakes & Arrows tour. They confirmed that they’d kick off the tour this Spring in Puerto Rico and teased us a little by revealing a few of the cities the tour would cover. I was hoping that I’d get some advance information on more cities/venues and specific dates before year’s end. Well… I haven’t managed to get any specific dates yet but I did get my hands on a complete list of the venues the band plans on hitting. The list is not in any particular order as the exact dates and routes are still being determined. Venues that are still pending a final decision are indicated with an asterisk (*), while all the other venues are essentially confirmed. The band is also leaving the option open for a second show in Puerto Rico if needed. Again - the list is not in order (except for the Puerto Rico show). Neil Peart drum roll…
