Best 5 song block from a Rush concert

If medleys count as one song:

 

Lakeside Park

2112

ByTor

In The End

[Working Man/Finding My Way/Drum Solo]

 

I don't think All the World's a Stage is an accurate setlist...

 

 

There are only two unofficial recordings of this tour in circulation; both are headlining shows, with the only difference being the placement of "In The End" in the setlist, and the encore changing from "Best I Can" to "What You're Doing". This later setlist is virtually identical to the All The World's A Stage tracklist, with the only change being that the "Fly By Night-In The Mood-Something For Nothing" medley is listed earlier in the show (inserted between "Anthem" and "Lakeside Park"), possibly to conform to album sides. The earlier show, recorded in Seattle in March of '76, this tour poster from March supports the belief that Rush was in fact the headlining act, while this tour poster from June leaves no doubt. More importantly, it has been pointed out that Moog Taurus pedals are not present in the Seattle '76 recording; if recorded in October they would likely be present, as Rush were definitely using Moog pedals by then (if not throughout the entire All The World's A Stage tour), as seen in this live photo from October 26th taken two days before the October Seattle show (the pedals are seen on the floor next to Geddy's mic). Lastly, although not as conclusive, during the Seattle recording, "In The End" preceded "By-tor And The Snowdog", whereas by the later May recording it immediately followed "By-tor", a position it would regularly hold in the setlist on multiple tours until it was last played on the Signals warm up tour.

The applause and crowd noise fades pretty much seamlessly in places where it wouldn't if that was the setlist for the night.

That can be done during mixing.

 

Here's the setlist from one of the nights that it was recorded. Someone else may have more info.

Three Options

 

ATWAS Tour - June 1, 77

2112

Xanadu

Something For Nothing

By-Tor

Necromancer

 

AFTK Tour

By Tor

Xanadu

AFTK

Something For Nothing

Cygnus X1

 

PeW warmup tour

Xanadu

tSoR

Trees

Cygnus X1

Hemispheres

(By Tor is before Xanadu so if this were to turn into a six song block, it would be the clear winner)

 

If I had to choose, I would go with the first.
