That's what makes a band great in my opinion: the complete release from the world one gets through their music. | I have see them everytime they came around since Permanent Waves and I have always left the show in awe

He was wearing a t-shirt that said 'Yes he is playing the Ric tonight'
I guess he got tired of being asked! |

opted for the "cheap" seats----HEY Reno Events Center is only
7000 capacity----ALL good seats.
Got lucky with 3rd row first level, about mixing board back, left side.
I missed the last show in 07 at Sleep Train, but saw R30 and Vapor Trails there.
Not to mention 8 of the last 10 tours here in Sacto and in Philly (growing up) |

I have seen them four times and they were always awesome- but I havent seen them since the Grace under pressure tour  My favorite tour probably being Signals, which was incredible for me...
However, I have scored tickets to see them in Cincinnati in June  I had to: I just hated getting a Snakes and Arrows Tour shirt for Christmas and not actually seeing them

I got Row E, which I think is fifth row (it's a brand new venue and the seating chart online doesn't say if there are double-lettered rows up front.) Alex's side of the stage again, though.

First time they have been here in 25 years. This will be my 4th time seeing them. Hemispheres, Permanent Waves and Signals tours previously.
Hemispheres was probably as heavy as they got. Loud, incredible and they opened, yes opened with the complete 2112! The next 3 months......are..........going.................... ...to.........go..........by...................... very........................slowly.........
