Pick 5 songs for Next Tour

[savagegrace26]

I was going to make this poll yesterday morning but didn't have time and I see that Rush Petition is back up now so what a great coincidence.

 

Anyway, pick 5 songs total from these lists that you think Rush should play next tour. If you don't want to pick a song from any section just choose "None from this list" since you're obligated to pick an option in every section.

 

Please just pick 5 songs total.

 

I only considered songs that either have never been played live or haven't been played since the Test for Echo tour.

 

Xanadu, 2112, and a couple others were included since they have't been played in full since at least the Test for Echo tour.

 

I also included some of their very early songs and Broon's Bane in the third section so it isn't all in chronological order.

 

Let me know if I missed anything because I made most of this list from memory.

My votes:

 

Something for Nothing (a vocally toned down version)

I tried to keep my list realistic based on Geddy's current range.

Xanadu

Jacob's Ladder

The Weapon

Lock and Key

 

 

My 5th choice is Territories, which is not on the list.

Would've also picked The Weapon, Countdown, Prime Mover, anything from Grace Under Pressure, Nobody's Hero, Test For Echo, Time And Motion, Vapor Trail, Nocturne

my rush petition choices were:

vapor trails

sweet miracle (I know not a fav but I like it)

Different Strings (do an 'unplugged' version with Al and Ged)

 

I'd love if they did an old headbanger like their version of Garden Road :guitar: but that's a real long shot.

Edit: Kudos for Something For Nothing however. If you would have picked Lessons as well I would have held the "flack"...

Xanadu

Jacob's Ladder

The Weapon

Lock and Key

Then Alien Shore. I'd like to hear that. I wonder if Alex would hold his nose to do the intro.

[savagegrace26]

My picks:

The Necromancer (Under the Shadow section kicks ass, just play that part)

The Weapon (a monster song that's long overdue for a return)

Afterimage (a heavy live version would be amazing)

Open Secrets (one of their best and most underrated songs, play it)

Vapor Trail (Neil needs to play this live with it's intricate percussion, just replace the "yeah yeahs" with a synth or something)

 

Hard to not choose these:

A Farewell to Kings (streamline it for his current vocal range, it can be done)

Different Strings (with extended solo)

The Enemy Within

Red Lenses

Prime Mover

High Water

Chain Lightning

Red Tide

Available Light

Cut to the Chase (kind of over it being played live, but it would be nice)

Totem

 

 

Whose idea was it to only pick 5?

[AstrosJake]

The Necromancer

Xanadu

Open Secrets

 

i kinda have a personal attachment to emotion detector, it's really weird

[Geddy's Soul Patch]

The Necromancer

Xanadu

The Weapon

Emotion Detector

Open Secrets

Not weird at all! I adore Emotion Detector, it always tugs at my heart strings. The lyrics are some of Neil's deepest

[toymaker]

Difficult. I had already picked more than 5 from the top list, so I had to clean that up - but couldn't pick anything from the last two lists. I picked these:

 

Beneath, Between & Behind

Bastille Day (dreamin' I know)

Xanadu (the whole thing - no f***ing around; I want to hear the whole damn thing from the very beginning)

Hemispheres (I'd love to hear the Prelude blended into Armageddon; then I could hear the quiet bit in Bringer of Balance becoming the opening to Xanadu)

Chemistry

 

Tough to leave off the Weapon and loads of other songs . . .
