[TiSij]

i love that kit!! just looks like a disney attraction xD

[djsephy]

Such a sick show

[BurstElectronicsCEO]

@djsephy - Glad you liked it. Looks like I'll be going to New Orleans for a follow up performance. Since I now know the track list, I'll be better prepared for filming.

cool - great rush covers at derekd2112 too

[daveydemontexas]

have been emeulating not imitating with respect to the professor since 1977 sincerly,davey demon(somewhere in tejas)

[BurstElectronicsCEO]

@daveydemontexas - Quite an amazing accomplishment. I'm not a percussionist, but I have friends that are. Pratt is by far one of the most difficult (and yet most rewarding) teachers, so I'm told.

[gypsyflowerchild]

Amazing show, it was the first Rush concert ive been to....i would go again in a heartbeat.....i won 4 tickets for the show and took some musicians with me...we had so much fun, they really put on a great show,,,,,,HOOKED ON RUSH

[BurstElectronicsCEO]

@gypsyflowerchild - Welcome to the club! We've got jackets! Congrats on winning tickets! They've got so much music, but some of my top choice albums...Hemispheres, Signals, Vapor Trails, Snakes and Arrows... These are a few of my personal favorites and good places to start. Enjoy!

[iamguitarmutt]

I saw them last night. As usual, some of the elements are the same from show to show like the ending video with the song 'Love For Sale', but it seems this solo is quite a bit different from the solo I saw last night. Maybe he's improvising more. He started last night's with a 3/4 beat, and this starts with 4/4. Interesting. Our man Neil is growing and learning before our eyes and ears it seems.

[BurstElectronicsCEO]

@iamguitarmutt - Always a pleasure hearing of Professor Pratt's exploits! He did seem a little rusty on this first show in Albuquerque (even dropped a few sticks throughout the show), but understandable. Makes sense that what he'd like to say through his instruments would change through the course of a tour. I've noticed differences myself in seeing different shows at different venues on the same tour. Have fun and thanks for commenting!

Check mine out.. It's in focus and In HD!!!

[RUSH1200]

Call LOCAL ROCK RADIO STATIONS AND REQUEST "Caravan"!

[BurstElectronicsCEO]

@RUSH1200 - What an incredibly cool comment! Thanks! We've got a DJ here (Swamy Rob@94Rock), a MAJOR HUGE Rush fan...hehe, like me. He's been playing Caravan and BU2B pretty much every day since they were made available! Thanks Swamy, and to you RUSH1200!

[candleriii]

As much as I love Rush, I'm a sucker for Big Band, swing, and Jazz. Nice finish to the solo, and can't wait to see you guys in Florida!

[cjf799]

3.03 lol

[kennyplay]

man that video at the end with Jazz is just... SICK,, Auwsome

[timrs2001]

You did a great job recording it by the way. Thanks. :)

[stixtwirly]

Nice touch at the end..."Machine" by the Buddy Rich band. I like how Rush gives that attention to detail for their OCD fans. :)

[timrs2001]

The professor just gets better every time I see him! Outstanding.

[tandemdigital]

No problemo! I'll post a clean version of the animation soon so you can do a side-by-side analysis. Wait til you see all the goodies in there.

Thanks for clarifying and all the best.

[tandemdigital]

Just for the record, my company did the animation during the solo. Lots of fun for sure, but not related to Animusic.

Hope y'all enjoy the tour!

Greg

[BurstElectronicsCEO]

@tandemdigital - ACK! I'm sorry, it looked SO much like their stuff! My most humblest apologies

[uspsionic]

@tandemdigital -well, the animation is nothing short of glorious! Thanks!

[vaportrails44]

@rshcry24 No. The solo on A Show of Hands is edited 3 minutes from the one he did on the HYF tour. Here is the entire solo:

They edited it to make the VHS home video at the time 90 minutes.

This solo in 2010 is the pits and a lot of noise. Been a fan since 1980 and let me tell you this is his worst to date.

[mlavigne71]

2:57 Oops. Nice Recovery, as always. Even when he messes up, he's still the best drummer in the world.

[BurstElectronicsCEO]

@mlavigne71 - You ain't just whistling Dixie! Always a moving experience to watch this man perform. :)

[n2112bytor2112p]

what row were you in?

[BurstElectronicsCEO]

@n2112bytor2112p - I was in Section 6, Row G

[misfeed101]

What a show off!

Only kidding, Peart is the best. : )

[uspsionic]

wow amazing as always and that last futuristic jazz segment was astonishing! My prediction didnt come true, I thought he'd have played the hockey theme at the end, which couldve been so cool.

[BurstElectronicsCEO]

@uspsionic - Yeah, the new hockey theme would've been cool, guess we'll just have to settle for what he decides to play for us. :) The futuristic jazz segment was animated by Animusic. Check them out, they're Rush fans too!

[uspsionic]

@BurstElectronicsCEO -yeah but even settling is awesome when talking about Rush. I think my nephew has the animusic dvds and they are really something! Its amazing how many musicians, writers and people from other trades are coming out of the wood work and professing their admiration for Rush!

[BurstElectronicsCEO]

@uspsionic - Agreed, but in this case, I'd like to think it's Rush's admiration for new artists. :) hehehe, can't wait for Animusic3 to come out. Guess I now know why the DVD has been delayed.

[uspsionic]

@BurstElectronicsCEO lol yeah...mutual admiration = awesome collaboration!

[BurstElectronicsCEO]

@BurstElectronicsCEO - I'm sorry! Tandem Digital did these effects! Thanks folks for clearing that up for me. It looks so much like Animusic, I mistakenly made an assumption.

[BurstElectronicsCEO]

[rshcry24]

It may be short, but remember his solo on the Show of Hands DVD...that solo was shorter than this one.

[BurstElectronicsCEO]

@rshcry24 - I also missed about the first 90 seconds fumbling with my camera.

[davework13]

What an incredible, unselfish act. THANK YOU for recording and posting this. I am unemployed and probably wont get to see them in Mountain View in August. Thank you so VERY much.

[uspsionic]

@davework13 hopefully you'll be able to o nthe 2nd leg of tour, when the finish the cd.

[BurstElectronicsCEO]

@davework13 - You betcha! :)

[satamique]

He test his drum kit? Strange solo...sound weird!

[BurstElectronicsCEO]

@satamique - I thought so too, sounded a bit "tinney". Also, looks like Neil flipped a stick, I think it may have thrown him off a little.

[bdysrf]

Hear the train wreck on Spirit of Radio? Tough way "to begin the day...."

[BurstElectronicsCEO]

@bdysrf - Gotta love being the first show. Hopefully they'll come back after the CD has been released (and the set is tighter).

[JeeperGB]

Thanks for posting the video, it was a great show. They did an awesome performance.

[BurstElectronicsCEO]

@JeeperGB - You betcha! :)

[vaportrails44]

Please tell me this isn't the entire solo. If so this is his worst yet. Total garbage. Seriously. Where is the solo?

[chedder72]

@vaportrails44 It's their first show of the tour, he's just warming up....i hope

[BurstElectronicsCEO]

@vaportrails44 - Sorry, I missed about the first 90 seconds fumbling with my camera. I don't know if I'd go so far as to say it was "total garbage", but it did sound like a first run through and perhaps the sound engineer didn't mix in enough low frequency audio (sounded a bit tinney). Gotta love being the first show. :)

[mxermadman]

Was there! Epic concert. Amazing setlist. The guys were great!!!!

[kidchronic2112]

Simply awesome!!!!!! Looks like his kit is scaled down a bit.

[BurstElectronicsCEO]

@kidchronic2112 - Yeah, it did seem a little bit skinbare.

[HAKKY2112]

Thanks for this!!!

I'll be in Seattle Aug 7

( If anyone cares, my page has a few good vids from 2007/2008 Washington state!)

[BurstElectronicsCEO]

@HAKKY2112 - It was a great show! I believe they were trying to work out a BUNCH of bugs though. Hopefully they'll swing back through later in the tour when the set is a bit tighter. The little film shorts at the show opening, after intermission and end of show were hilarious! You'll have a great time!
