Wheels Within Wheels Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 New as a posting member of this forum; please don't flame me if you don't agree. I'm just venturing a humble opinion and would welcome constructive Feedback (see what I did there?) Cheers! 5 Songs I Hope They Play (being real)-Natural Science (last played on Snakes And Arrows tour); just a great song showcasing their individual and collective talents.-Xanadu (last played R30 tour); even the abbreviated version would be a "worth the price of admission" moment.-Hemispheres; Prelude (snippet played on R30 tour; full version not played since Counterparts tour); I think it would a great first set closer. -The Pass; (last played as an alternate on Clockwork Angels tour); one of my favorites and I think one of the band's as well.-The Enemy Within (last played on Power Windows warm-up tour); hoping for a "deep cut" continuation (like The Body Electric or Grand Designs from CA tour)Honorable Mention-The Trees (last played on Snakes And Arrows tour); great song---not epic length but filled with grandeur; perfect song for a "greatest hits" tour _______________________________5 Songs I Hope They Skip (being real)-Limelight (played on every tour since Roll The Bones); one of Alex's favorite solos so it will probably reappear; just think it needs a rest.-Animate (last played on R30 tour); this to me is a "bathroom break" song, but I've read the band likes it and it's probably at the top of the rotation.-Roll The Bones (last played on R30 tour); love the chorus, hate the verses/rap but it's probably due again.-Working Man (last played on Time Machine tour); I can't see them leaving it off this anniversary tour, but I can hope.-Force Ten (last played on Clockwork Angels tour); nothing against this song; I just think they could fill up that time with something else.Honorable Mention-Red Sector A; (last played on Clockwork Angels tour); it isn't played every tour but it has that "This one again?" feel that I can't explain._______________________________5 Songs I Hope They Play But They Won't Because We Don't Always Get What We Want (being completely unreal)-Jacob's Ladder (last played on Moving Pictures warm-up tour); seems this the new Rush fans' "White Whale" (replacing The Camera Eye); too challenging.-Prime Mover (last played on Hold Your Fire tour); recorded but only released on video; my favorite "keyboard era" song; not enough guitar for Alex.-Afterimage (last played on Grade Under Pressure tour); terrific guitar solo; would be a crowd pleaser live; imagery of loss makes it not likely considered by band.-Emotion Detector (never played live); listened to this the other day; haven't heard the fans clamoring for it and obviously the band is uninterested—pity.-Countdown (last played on Grace Under Pressure warm-up tour); again, not much interest out there or seemingly among the band.Honorable Mention-Hemispheres (entire); (last played complete on Hemispheres tour); because, you know, Hemispheres. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bard Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Aftermimage is a LONG shot. Countdown won't happen. Sadly. They will almost certainly play Limelight and Natural Science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the song, but I think at this stage of the game it wouldn't be the thing to hear at a concert. Fair... but I think it would be extraordinary. A guest musician taking a lead (such a missed opportunity last tour), well within Geddy's range... seems like a no brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gudbuytjane Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 WANT Lock and Key (I think this would sound incredible with modern, beefier guitars)Tne Enemy Within (I just love this song, though I don't care for Fear. Either this or Afterimage, but I doubt they'd play that. Or Kid Gloves, or even Red Lenses. I love p/g that much! The Body Electric was one of the high-points of my CA show.)Test For Echo (again, a revisit with modern guitars might give this the kick it needs)Jacob's Ladder (it seems like the sort of song they'd finally do after everyone decided they'd never do it, just to mess with us. :) And for people who say it'd kill the momentum, I've felt the same way about Witch Hunt for years, and truthfully that never hurt a set it was in...)Fly By Night (my earliest memories of Rush were of this single on the radio, so I'm adding it for sentimental reasons. Geddy could drop an octave I think, and it'd sound OK. Or even an instrumental snippet) NOT Limelight (overplayed. I was so bummed when they brought it out again midway through the CA tour)The Trees (an overplayed oldie. I don't hate it, but it stopped doing it for me years ago)Red Sector A (I doubt they'd play it this tour as it was on the last, but this and DEW both, I love p/g so much, but I'm so tired of these live)Red Barchetta (or anything else from MP really)Leave That Thing Alone! (I've heard this too many times. I'd take Where's My Thing? again in a heartbeat over this song) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
