Rush's heydey was 25 years ago. They can still pack in a few hundered drunk gamblers at the local indian casinos, but hey, so can Styx.
They've never played a casino to my knowledge, and there was at least 10,000 people at the last Rush concert I attended on the last tour.
A few hundred. Most "successfull" bands would be lucky to fill stadiums with tens of thousands of people all over the world the way Rush still does. See the Rush in Rio DVD, for example.
Yeah, but having to listen to "Mr. Roboto" will make one riot.
Casinos?? hahaha Not sure where you got that information but Rush sold out every huge venue in the United States on their last 2 tours and not talking about 25 years ago. Last year and year before that. Try to get tickets next time Rush visits your city and see how much you'll pay to get in.
...and oh, so true.
