With Rush, Deep Purple and Led Zep included BTW.
    Chuck, how many times have you seen Rush? I'm lucky to have seen them once, Counterparts tour, although at that age I really didn't appreciate what I was seeing... like several other shows I had been to at an early age. Many of them I was there to see opening bands for the big acts... and yes I'll accept the flak I receive for this... Candlebox opening for Rush... Ugly Kid Joe for Ozzy Osbourne (go easy on me). By night's end I was blown away by the bigger acts at least so I have that going for me.

    Now my kids are piling up a good list of shows attended already at a young age and I personally couldn't be more happier to take them! And they have pretty good taste in music, admittedly.

    The fact that you BC fans revel in the superiority of your team in an admittedly weak league leads me to believe you will be more sorely disappointed when the end comes than we will.

      Probably seen Rush over a dozen times, but a lot of that was late '70's through the mid-'80's, maybe the last time (so far?) was in the '90's. Didn't like their direction in the late '80's so we went our separate ways for awhile. I still think their peak was probably Moving Pictures, and after that Signals was decent as was Grace and Power Windows but like UNH Hockey started to slide slowly after 2003, Rush had a slide after Moving Pictures. Everything between 2112 and Moving Pictures is indispensable Rush IMO. But as a live act, they've always been worth it, they've never ignored their prime stuff, even when they were selling subpar music later on. And now they don't have to worry about selling Roll the Bones crap.

      I had tickets to see Ozzy on the tour when Randy Rhodes got killed a few days earlier in an airplane crash. Something came up, had to miss it (saw him once before with the original Sabbath), always wished I'd seen that one. Actually came to enjoy the Dio version of Sabbath for a few years while that lasted, too. Good times.

        Is anything happening in Durham this weekend?

        Greg, I am with you on baseball, especially the regular season.
        I will not be out cheered in my own building.

          Well, couldn’t get a table or a bar seat at Libby’s at 5:15. Stuck over by the pool table.

              Does anyone have suggestions in how to stream NESN for the hockey game since I don't live in the local NESN market?

                Can’t be done. You need a home cable/satellite subscription that has NESN in order to validate that you’re a customer. To the best of my knowledge, anyway

                  So much to say re: the Toronto trio, but it will have to wait until tomorrow. Suffice it to say Rush was MY ELP.

                  For now, it’s time to crush BC

                    True, however, if you have or have access to log-in information you can download the NESN app and stream HE games being broadcast on either NESN or NESN-plus...

                      I know it’s not the first time, but it’s hard to believe just how empty the Whit is tonight.

                        13 minutes, no SOG. And that is EXACTLY how it feels
