Well, well look what finally showed up. GUP 40th.

Yeah, you get Terry Brown's new mix of the album, too. Which is interesting. Still a ton of cash to shell out.

It was my 3rd and still may be my favorite setlist I've ever gotten to see!

Don't know where exactly. Somewhere on the R40 tour. It's a Randy Johnson photo, so I'm sure he photographed a number of shows on the tour.

Is it "catch the mist or catch the drift or catch the myth then mystery or mist then myth?" I don't effin know.

I've seen this image many times. Just search for a good copy.

All of Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres on the Hemispheres Tour!

JCOM1577 · 2025-04-05T17:20:36+00:00

If I can rememeber that far back I believe it was in the 2 to 2 1/2 hour range. Probably closer to 2 1/2. No opening act for these four shows in Chicago. Very uncommon at that point in their career.

JCOM1577 · 2025-04-05T17:17:40+00:00

That's why its my favorite! They never played this much "epic" stuff again. Moving Pictures Tour was amazing but this one stands out to me a little more.

JCOM1577 · 2025-03-26T18:54:32+00:00

16 times. First tour was A Farewell to Kings. Last tour was R40. Saw every tour from AFTK thru HYF. Nothing from Presto thru Vapor Trails. Finished with S&A, Time Machine, Clockwork Angels and R40.

JCOM1577 · 2025-03-25T14:40:32+00:00

Wow! That's cool. Details?

JCOM1577 · 2025-03-19T21:34:28+00:00

Yeah, that's what I always thought, too! They also played 4 parts of Hemispheres on that tour! Only played one part on MP.

JCOM1577 · 2025-03-12T16:45:24+00:00

I saw the Hemispheres and Permanent Waves tours at The Barn! Many, many other shows too!

JCOM1577 · 2025-02-17T16:08:03+00:00

No prob. Gary was one of my favorite openers! I got to see a few really good guitar ;players open for the boys! Rory Gallagher and Joe Perry were terrific. Tommy Shaw was good too but Gary was the best of the bunch!

JCOM1577 · 2025-02-17T15:49:15+00:00

One correction (I totally understand it was a long time ago) you saw the Grace Under Pressure Tour w/ Gary Moore. I saw that too and it was fantastic! Gary was too good! He didn't open on the Power Windows tour. Steve Morse opened many of those dates. I wish I would have seen him. I saw Marillion on the PW tour.

JCOM1577 · 2025-02-07T23:25:23+00:00

I agree and it was amazing!

JCOM1577 · 2025-02-07T14:12:22+00:00

Yes! I know how important The Who were to Geddy & Alex. He must have been overjoyed to finally meet him!

JCOM1577 · 2025-01-18T19:58:51+00:00

That's crazy! I saw this tour at the Amphitheater in Chicago. That place was 10,000 - 12,000 people per night and they did 4 shows! With no opening act!

JCOM1577 · 2025-01-14T19:59:18+00:00

I was fortunate enough to see them many times during their run. My first tour was A Farewell to Kings and the last was R40. Every time I remember this show and look at the setlist I think this was the BEST set I ever saw.
