How awesome would it be if Alex played this on the tour, leading into The Trees? Just like on ESL. It'd be even more awesome if it was followed by Xanadu in it's entirety.

I already suggested this, and it sure as hell would fit the "Time Machine" nicely! There are a number of throwback things they can do, from video intros to the songs, to musical differences such as this one we both mentioned, or the ESL acoustic guitar intro to Jacob's Ladder.

I certainly don't claim any inside knowledge but I think in spite of the "Time Machine" name they've given this tour some people are expecting a little too much. That's essentially what the R30 tour was for. I'll be surprised if it's as nostalgia-based as some here are expecting.

I would be beyond excited if that happened, although I agree with the earlier post: We are expecting too much. The fact that all of Moving Pictures is being played is substantial on its own.

yeah... I think it is going to be pretty similar to the last few tours.

 

thats ok though.

I hope I can get the time off to go see 'em...

 

ah... wait... I hope I can get a job so that I can get time off to see go them.

And R30 really didn't live up to its billing either. There was the R30 Overture and a piece of Xanadu, but most of the show was very similar to the VT tour. We still had to sit through Roll The Bones, (As I fear we might again this time), and we didn't see any full parts of Hemispheres,

no Jacob's Ladder etc. I think expectations are going to run very high for this and unfortunately I think there will be disappointment.

PLEASE GOD no roll the bones!!! I wouldn't mind if they dropped Dreamline this time around either.

Another optimist.

 

 

Just what we need more of here on The Rush Forum.

That's all Rush does is disappoint their fans, isn't it?

 

Thanks for the positive vibes bruddah...

 

Rush fans are the greatest! unsure.gif

They do that already a lot more than fans are willing to give them credit for. If you had told me 20 years ago that I could still look forward to them playing Natural Science, Between the Wheels, all of 2112, Working Man, By-Tor, Circumstances, A Passage to Bangkok, Entre Nous, Digital Man, etc. I would have said you were crazy. And I'm sure there will be more this tour including at least The Camera Eye as we already know. Last tour alone was a major shakeup of the setlist. They've played 47 completely different songs on the last two tours alone. That's more than most bands ever play in their whole career live. It's a huge number.

It has nothing to do with being difficult, hell, I used that piece to learn how to fingerpick and I play it nowdays note for note absentmindedly to warm up while I'm watching TV (not saying that makes me great, I'm just saying there's not much to it) but I don't think it has anything to do with that, fans just want to hear it. I totally understand that. It would be cool to hear and I think it would get a great audience response.
