Unconfirmed Rotterdam tour dates

Posted at 09:49 PM | comments (16)

Good news for Dutch Rush fans. The Dutch Progressive Rock Page is reporting 2 unconfirmed Rush concert dates at the Ahoy' Rotterdam on October 16th and 17th. I believe that these are the first European dates to be reported. Thanks to reader Patrick for the news.

Oys, ya got it wrong... We're to say, 'Screw the French'!

Anyway, I've always wanted to go to the Alps!

Hmm, who's wanting to go there? Neil or Ged??? Hands up for for Neil! I dont know if the Dutch are big on wine.

Hey, wheres Geddy??? Someone find Ged and ask him!

If you ask me Neil wants to go back to Europe because he had such a blast riding around in '04 during the R30 tour.

I'm very sceptical about the European Tour. I remember back with the VT tour. They first reported some dates in the UK that were soon cancelled. Or rather, they never existed in the first place.

I got the impression from Roadshow, that yes, Neil had a good time riding in parts Europe (not so many cops and such), but it was a bit too exhausting for him, the whole long World Tour.
I'm betting on a North American tour only.

But I'd be very very very happy if they came this side of the pond. And if they do come here, they're doing a proper tour. It makes no sense to fly all the equipment and crew to Europe just for a couple of days in Rotterdam.

Rush ended their R30 tour in Rotterdam. I think the Dutch fans are the best fans to play for in Europe except the fans in the UK. The Ducth and UK fans are more fanatic. Rush liked their last show in Ahoy in 2004 a lot, thas was a special show for them. And when they come to Holland in history they only play one time at one location. That is not in relation to the quantity of fans we have here!

It is better to skip Oberhausen in Germany next to the border of Holland and play in u much bigger Ahoy!

Heyya, Frank easy up there tiger!

Whats your screw prob with Americans? Where u from? Are u the guy that works at 7-11? I could go on with questions, statements and my own answers in defense for my fellow Americans!

But, I wont as I dont want my post deleted by da man, Ed!

But, Frank. Lets be frank,,, Its a RUSH site. Not a anti-Bush site. So, with a little wisdom I'll point out that you are in the wrong board!

Folks, leave the guy alone. He might have a bomb strapped around his belly and to be honest. It just doesnt need to be in here!

Just keep it RUSH-er to the heart!

Hey D-, look at the first post before you blast Frank. Someone else fired the first shot his way! It looks like he has a German or Dutch name.

Is it May 1st yet????

And to add this...There is a smiley face on the first post which I hope means they were joking.

#13 - Posted 3/12/07 @1:06PM by frank Oude Weernink [contact]
