bathory Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 so when does the boohoo fest start because it's not 1979 anymore? I think it started around 1980..... *1982 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traeplien Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 In 2000, Yes gave their longtime fans the Masterworks tour, which comprised of 8 epic Yes numbers, each of which was at least 20 years old or more. Imagine a Rush Masterworks tour where every song is say, pre-Presto era (where the album writing really began its decline). Start with the full versions of Hemisphere's and 2112 (the way it should be played) and sprinkle in other old school Rush epics like Xanadu, Jacobs Ladder, Cygnus X, etc. None of the new crap (not that I think its all bad) but a show for those of us that have been there from the beginning or close to it. And puleeeeze, no additional musicians. Can do away with the dopey videos too. Just Rush music being played the way it was meant to be played. My two cents.

Disk98 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 ^^ Okay, but when Geddy dies of a heart attack on stage, I'm holding you personally responsible. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 'll give you that. Specially after how he pulled off The Garden. Not that great vocally at all. Anyway, I don't know why they don't just play the instrumental part of the Prelude. It much longer than what they played during Counterparts. Edited March 30, 2014 by losingit2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geddy's Soul Patch Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) Hmmmm! All of Hemispheres Prelude going into Xanadu would be great! Definitely! If they cut the vocal part from the Prelude and went into Xanadu, it would indeed be perfect! Geddy could totally pull off Xanadu Edited March 31, 2014 by Geddy's Soul Patch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALifeson85 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I just had a thought - since Hemispheres follows 2112 on my set list, I think Geddy could pull it off if it was tuned down a step - since Geddy and Alex would already have their tuned-down guitars from 2112, and could immediately launch into Hemispheres. Thoughts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
