What is so "special" about these shows???? I love SX and have seen them several times but I don't get the "special" tag.

 

[jem777az]

I'm not sure what the "special" tag means either. That was all the email said.

 

[AMBR]

Sweet. I'll be there for the New York show, though I deeply resent the change in venue name. Best Buy Theater? How cheesy.

 

[Diamond45]

I think these shows are deemed "special" because they're not going on a full tour? Just my guess.

That's the corporate world we live in......

Better than Jiffy Lube Live (new name for Nissan Pavilion in suburban DC near Manassas, VA)

Ha, ha, ha, that's a good one.

I seriously doubt that there won't be a full tour considering the band's ever increasing popularity.

Better than Jiffy Lube Live (new name for Nissan Pavilion in suburban DC near Manassas, VA)

But an appropriate name, considering how I felt after going there to see Rush. That was not a pleasant experience.

 

[TychoCelchu]

My first guess would be playing the whole next album + a second set of catalogue songs

What was renanmed Ann Marie? This isnt Nokia, is it?

It does appear to be the Nokia that is now titled "Best Buy Theater". Gross.

 

[AMBR]

What was renanmed Ann Marie? This isnt Nokia, is it?

Yep. No longer do we have the cool sounding Nokia Theater (hey, it's Finnish!) we have the Best Buy Theater. I was ashamed to have it on my wristband on the subway this morning. BTW, IE was good, but I couldn't really see them. I have NEVER seen such excessive use of the smoke machine than last night. Far worse than any set at PP this year, which had a few overly cloudy sets for sure.

What happened? I thought it was a great show.

From where did this info originate and where can I pick up tickets?

"Special" as in warm up shows for a European tour maybe.

EnterTheVault appears to be selling them.

Oh, the show was great...once I got there. I missed the first 7 songs because I was waiting in traffic to get in. You think that getting into the area with more than an hour to spare before showtime would be enough to get parked at the very least...
