UPDATE - 12/6@5:25PM: The Cleveland show is now listed at Music Today as going on fan pre-sale tomorrow at 10AM.
Hello Cleveland!! Rush.com just posted a news item to their website announcing that they will be filming the April 15th show at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, OH for a live DVD release. From Rush.com:
RUSH TO FILM CLEVELAND PERFORMANCE
As a tribute to the US city that first played their music, Rush confirms that the Cleveland performance of their Time Machine show on April 15th at the Quicken Loans Arena will be filmed for full-length release. Cleveland is remarkable for being one of the very first US cities where the band performed, in addition to being the first city to provide American airplay. This will be a must-see event for Rush fans in Cleveland - and for everyone able to make the road trip as it is will also mark the first live full-length filming on US soil.
Tickets for Cleveland go on sale on Saturday, December 11th with pre-sales for Rush fan-club and CITI cardmembers beginning December 7th.
Shows for Ft Lauderdale, Greensboro, Nashville, Louisville, Toledo, New York, Chicago, Cleveland, Hamilton and Montreal all go on-sale this week. Visit the tour section for all the details!
So there you have it. No need to wonder any longer about whether Rush will be filming a Time Machine Tour date for a DVD release; it's official. As they mention, this will be the first full-length live filming in the US, and - I know I'm biased - but they couldn't have picked a better location. As expected, tickets will go on pre-sale this coming Tuesday, December 7th. There's still no official confirmation, but it looks like the remaining dates will also go on pre-sale on Tuesday; all except the Madison Square Garden show of course - which goes on pre-sale tomorrow. I'm still anticipating that the Rush.com newsletter will send out an email with more details sometime later tonight or early tomorrow morning. I will open up a thread in the morning for MSG pre-sales regardless. Remember to check the tour page for up-to-the-minute updates and see the ticket sales and pre-sales guide for general information on how all the pre-sales work.
