If you've got Direct TV High Def you probably already know this, but HDNet, ch 79 has some fantastic concerts on every day at 5:00pm eastern time. So far I've seen:
Rush
Sammy Hagar
God Smack
The Cult
Joe Satriani
Styx
Sheryl Crow (Hot)
Bootie and the Hofish (lame)

great channel.

agreed, great channel

I got to see Rush in concert about a year ago. That was a fantastic concert!

I don't have Direct but Dish has HDnet and I'll agree there are some great programs on.

Bikini Destinations is a nice bonus as well.

Rush is the best!

Jon Liu · 12-21-2006, 12:57 PM

yeah, they're a little before my time but, I can appreciate the good stuff when I hear it!

Yep, I've been a Rush fan for 31 years. I got my first Rush album , "All the Worlds a Stage" at age 16. I had never heard of them but I decided to by the album because of the huge drum kit on the cover. I was glad I did. 31 years later I've got all 24 of their albums and 4 concert DVD's and 2 music video DVD's. They are currently working on a new album.

Hmmm, I'm trying to think which album I first bought. I think it was Power Windows. I think I was in the 9th grade. Such awesome sounds and lyrics.

All my friends were into the death metal of the day, Slayer, Megadeath, and the long hair freaks of that era. It was 'ok', but I was not really that into it.
I have always had this thing about music, I don't like to be yelled at. Plus all the crazy guitars and heavy metal type drumming, it all just was so blah.

Then one day my buddies older brother drove us to school and played some Rush. I was floored. I had never heard of them before, and knew nothing of the lists of the best drummers, basses and guitarists, but I instantly knew that I was hearing some of the best music of the time. I later found out that each member of Rush WAS indeed ranked at the top of their respective lists. From then on, I have been a huge fan. Oh, my first Rush concert was Presto. It was the first concert I went to without an adult. I drove my younger brother and myself to the arena and we had a blast.

My music tastes change change all the time, but Rush has always remained my #1 band.

HDNet is worth the extra cash for the HD package by itself! I thought that the Godsmack and Disturbed concerts were excellent. They also recently played a 311 concert that was good.

Plus, Art Mann Presents makes me laugh...

I totally agree with you Serren. I have seen them 4 times and can't truly pick which show was the best. They never disappoint!! Thanks to my Brother the first song & record I heard was " I think i'm going bald " from Caress of Steel. I was only 9 or 10 at the time and have loved them ever since.

Speaking of the concert channel in HD, Did anyone happen to catch Dream Theater 2 days ago? It was from their Live from Budokan concert. They are amazing to see live. If you like Rush then you should check them out!!!!

I have that show on DVD, Check out their newest one "Score" it's their 20th anniversary tour. The second set is done with a full orchestra, it's awesome.

I haven't seen that yet. I was hoping it was going to be a X-Mas present but... It looks like I will have to buy it. That 2nd set sounds like it will be amazing.

With that being said NP, do you listen to other Prog Rock bands? such as Fates Warning, Savatage, etc.?
