Dirk E. sent a brief note to accompany the photo of a concert ticket stub I recognize:
I thought you might find this remnant from my first major concert experience interesting ;)
Why do I recognize it? Because 25 years and a couple of months ago I was sitting maybe 200 feet away from him. Although it looks like Dirk had better seats.
In related news, I just ordered a copy of the new RUSH tribute concert DVD, Cygnus and the Sea Monsters, something I’ve been looking forward to since reading about the show in Sean Malone’s blog last Fall. (Here’s a preview.)
And don’t miss the pictures of the replica Neil Peart drum kit Tama put together for the show. (This surprised me, because Peart is a DW endorsee now. On the other hand, Portnoy is a Tama endorsee, so I guess it makes sense.)
And the concert stills under August 13.
What are you still doing here? That’s all you get. Now go order the DVD.
