Disk98 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 The Necromancer is one of the few songs I utterly despise. Luckily, none of my bottom three songs have much of a chance of ever seeing the light of day again. You should get banned for hating Necromancer AND Hemisphere's :P You're not getting rid of me THAT easy. :P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
himey Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I will probably get flamed for this but if you want classic rush you're better off going to a lotus land show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disk98 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I will probably get flamed for this but if you want classic rush you're better off going to a lotus land show.No, you're right. Rush isn't exactly a "remember when" band. They're always looking to do something new, and they don't necessarily care how much the fans want something to be played. (They do care, but ultimately it's the band's decision, not ours.) We can dream and speculate all we want, as I often do, but ultimately we aren't the ones who decide what we will or will not hear in a given concert. That being said, The Necromancer has little chance of being played because of the high vocals, which, as we all know, Geddy can't sing anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micgtr71 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Necromancer has been one of my favorite tunes from early Rush. Once upon a time I would have wanted nothing more than to see them do this live. They have changed direction to the point that I can't picture them playing it. I would still welcome part or all of it though. We're I a betting man I would have to be against it though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micgtr71 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 If you look at the theme of the live releases there is always something new in the set list to keep the DVDs/bluray releases interesting. Who knows what the next tour will bring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg2112 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) Full tune will never happen.. Only (remote) possibility is them tearing into an instrumental breakdown as part of an encore medley (see the 77 DC Lisner Aud show for reference... or the post on page 4).

Powderfinger Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I can't think of any argument they could make against at least playing "Return of the Prince," perhaps as part of an extended "By-Tor." It would be so nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 How about "The Necromancer?" "We are men from Willowdale." Yeah, I don't know. Same thing. That whole Caress of Steel period is stuck in a strange and funny moment in our history. I really don't know how that would stand the test of time.

Empty Mindless Spectre Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I think something like this is very possible: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJyX6izCL6o Ged could sing the first and third parts of the Necromancer, but not the second. Also, if you have By-Tor as a good guy and a bad guy in the same song, the universe explodes. :laughing guy: :laughing guy: :laughing guy: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMCXII Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I can name two reasons Neil wouldn't let this song get played: 1- "only their thirst for freedom gives them hunger for vengeance..."2- "Silence shroud the forest, As the birds announce the dawn" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushianRoulette Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I don't think so. As much as I'd love it, but a) the guys hate CoS, and b) Ged seemed shaky enough regarding fly by night never mind this!! Great song though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
