Bigbobby10 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I was thinking about it, and this would be a good 70's song they could do live! Whats do you guys think? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I highly doubt it. It's a wonderful song but it's out of Geddy's vocal range. I'd be very shocked if they played the full thing but less shocked if they played a portion of it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savagegrace26 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 It'd be nice if they pulled out some of the instrumental parts but as far as the entire song with vocals? They'd be much higher odds of them playing an encore like this: The Speed of LoveNeuroticaShut Up Shuttin' Up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laughedatbytime Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 My son and I were in the area out in front of the arena in KC before the final show of the tour when this guy walked by with a t shirt referencing the song. The front said something like "Think they'll play the Necromancer?" The back said "Nah, they never play the Necromancer" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thizzellewashington Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Zero chance they play the full thing. It takes up too much time in the set and Geddy can't really sing it anymore. There's a reason they barely play any '70s material live anymore. Even back in 2007 when they played "Circumstances" and dropped it down a full octave, he still had trouble with it. They're smart to stick to the '80s era when they're picking deep cuts. WITH THAT SAID: I'd be into an acoustic medley of "No One At the Bridge" --> "Bacchus Plateau" --> "Return of the Prince." I think that's something that could work and could actually be pulled off vocally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedRush Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I would kill any one of you to see them play this live. I actually think that the vocals in parts I and III are doable for Geddy, and only part II would be an issue. But there's only about 12 lines of lyrics in the song, so who gives a shit? This would basically be a cool instrumental that focuses on Alex, which is another reason those two other assholes won't let it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird, personally I think Geddy had a lot more trouble singing Mission that tour than Circumstances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bri-tor Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I doubt that they would commit so much time in a concert to a song that is among one of the most divisive among Rush fans. Maybe they'll make a medley of 70's songs to rival the R30 overture, and include a snippet. Also, Geddy would never strain his voice singing anything from the song, and if they were to play it, it would have to be tuned very far down and the song would lose any charm it still had 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
