yah, if it still fits. I've got a cupboard full of old T's, compulsive gig-shirt-purchaser, but i'm a bit taller nowadays, and my navel isn't pierced so there's a certain reluctance to wearing them in public

and although there's 3 1/2 hours in the rush set they apparently very decently let us have an intermission to empty our catheter bags

I have the same shirt-buying problem, but I wear this one regularly, so I know it still fits. And apparently I'm done growing (vertically, at least), so I don't have to worry about that. But just in case, I actually have the exact same shirt in the next size up as well because I love it so much.

Hope you're close to the bathrooms or the intermission's long enough to get to the front of the line--one of the downsides of being female.

I usually spent all my money at the bar. Think the worst was buying 2 pints of wine at the Manchester Acadamy , which buggered me from buying anything else or even being able to speak for the entire gig.

ok, I'm humbled by your logic. We'll do it your way

if a band should happen to be playing at the time sisx all well and good
I'll have the pigeon breasts in raspberry sauce, followed by venison, neeps and tatties, I'll pass on the sweet trolley for another case of South Oz Merlot

Yes, Rush. Saw them in 78, my first gig. It was fckin LOUD, couldn't hear much for 2 days after, just.........shhhhhhhhhhh. I lost interest after around 1980. Recently bought the Rio gig on dvd as it was going cheap. Very good and 3 hours long. Excellent band live, they sound heavier on stage. I know Geddy Lee sings at the opposite end of the spectrum to Eldritch but they do have that something about them even though they sound a lot like old school rock. Respect

saw Rush around the same time Rivers 2112 tour Glasgow Apollo, support were also rans Stray

It was the 'Hemispheres' tour. Max Webster were support, I have a 7" picture disc of them if anyone is interested?

musta been 74/5.... things fade

Yes, 2112 came out around 75 I think. I saw them at Colston Hall, Bristol. Met some of their road crew in a pub round the corner before the gig.

Welcome

EBG? Please expain, brain not working.
