The Analog Cub Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Since there are a LOT of people on here that enjoy the 70's more than any other Rush decade (hell, some people on here probably ONLY like the 70's), let's have a little fun. Last tour they went Power Windows happy. While I enjoyed the hell out of that because I love Power Windows, I'm sure they'd be a little more keen on pulling out some other, perhaps older stuff, considering the only tune from the 70's that was played was (go figure) 2112. What 70's songs do you think they'll play this tour? Permanent Waves does not count, before anybody tries it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Songs I think they'll definitely play: 2112 (any part of it)La Villa StrangiatoWorking Man Other songs I think have a good chance of being pulled out: The TreesInstrumental versions of Cygnus X-1 and HemispheresXanaduBy-TorCloser To The Heart (please no) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemispheres4Echo Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I'd like them to play an instrumental medley of Cygnus X-1 (Prologue)/Hemispheres (Prelude)/La Villa Strangiato (Entire). They could also play By-Tor Snow Dog (abbreviated) and Xanadu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Fly By Night, Lakeside Park, Overture/Temples/Grand Finale, A Passage To Bangkok, Xanadu, Cinderella Man and La Villa. I know they're not big fans of FBN but come on, it's their 40th anniversary tour, they need to dust off one of their most well known songs. How the hell has Lakeside Park not been played in like 30 years? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tx_rush Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I hate to say this, but looking at the last 3 or 4 tours, I dont see them playing more than 1 or 2 70s songs, not counting a medley Probably Closer to the Heart and 2112 Overture/Priests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super25Smasher Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) I want some 2112 and A Farewell To Kings tricks. Maybe all of 2112 like on the T4E tour. Edited January 28, 2015 by Super25Smasher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Not much......just i'm still thinking a medley of 70's songs in instrumental form.......i tell ya these are not good years to be a 70's Rush fan. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super25Smasher Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 By-Tor and The Snow Dog and Bastille Day would also be pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) You will get.......big surprise.........2112 overture/Temples most likely. Mick Edited January 28, 2015 by bluefox4000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super25Smasher Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 That'll probably happen, but consider that 2112 saved them, and next year, it turns 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiBeers Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 A bastille day intro to headlong flight would be epic, since they're very similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on By-Tor... its time... and want to see it segued into a FULL version of Xanadu. Some instrumental Hemi sounds right as well... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost In Xanadu Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 No way they'll play long enough to get in 70 songs.... 30 at the most ;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbobby10 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I would want them to play Bastille Day or Fly By Night, but will they? Eh. 2112 they will, CTTH maybe also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I would be shocked if they DIDN'T play the entire Xanadu. There aren't many Rush fans who don't love the song, and they haven't played it in awhile. I would love for them to play at least the musical Hemispheres prelude. Also In The End, but I doubt they will do that song. La Villa is a shoe-in. Working Man prob. Other than that, not much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I'm a believer that we don't need for Geddy to try to strain to make the vocals happen on many of the '70s songs. That being said, though, I would love to see Cinderella Man or Xanadu or any and/or all of both books of Cygnus. But the instrumental medley (or perhaps two of them, even?) would be just fine, too.

HemiBeers Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I had no idea FBN was so unappreciated. I really dig that song, what does that say aboot me? Don't take it personally. It's just one of their 'pop' tunes that get overplayed on AOR. Even Ged said it was too pop for them to play, so don't expect it. Too high for him to sing it as well. It's probably the same situation as Closer to the Heart, where they've said they're sick of it since it's been beat into the ground. The time would be used better for deeper cuts.
