In celebration of the Holiday season, including International Rush Day, Hanukkah, The Winter Solstice, Christmas, Kwanzaa, New Year's Day, the 10th anniversary of rushisaband.com and any other holidays I may have missed - and also in light of the fact that it is looking unlikely that Rush will be embarking on any further major tours - I thought I'd introduce a new feature to the rushisaband.com website that I've been working on over the past year. In the process of running this site for the past 10 years I always thought it would be cool to have a searchable archive of Rush tour dates. So I finally went ahead and built one. When you go to the tour section, it now features a searchable list of all 2000+ of Rush's (known) tour dates along with venues, setlists and bands they played with. It uses a number of different search criteria, including bands played with, song played, specific day in tour history and shows within a given distance from any location. So if you want to know if/when Rush ever played a show with Thin Lizzy you can do that. Or if you were wondering where Rush played on the day you were born, or on your birthday over the years - you can do that too. How about if you wanted to know whether Rush ever played a show with Blue Oyster Cult where they broke out A Farewell to Kings within 50 miles of New York City (they did)? You can do that too! The possibilities are endless. While in the process of putting all this together, I figured, "why not do this for other artists too?". So I expanded my initial mission to include all the bands that ever played with Rush, and from there I just kept going. And thus was born TourDateSearch.com. The site allows you to search through hundreds of thousands of historical tour dates and setlists for OVER ONE THOUSAND rock artists from the '60s on up through today, and using all the same search criteria I listed above; bands played with, song played, specific day in tour history and shows within a given distance from any location. The site is updated on a daily basis and you can also find out when/where a particular artist will be playing their next few shows. Search results include setlist information from setlist.fm and the ability to comment on any given show using Disqus. So please give the new tour search as well as the new site at tourdatesearch.com a whirl and let me know what you think. Also be sure to follow TourDateSearch.com on Facebook and Twitter for all the latest updates. New artists and new features are added every day so stay tuned!
