Fan Pick top 15 songs for Tour 40

Recommended Posts

I would like to see the fans pick their top 15-20 songs from Rush's entire catalog and have Rush perform those during their 2015 US tour. Then maybe have the 3 Rush dudes fill in the rest with their favorites not on the top 15 or 20 list. Of course changing the setlist up each night, but keeping the 15 or 20 songs per night. A few years back I believe the Scorpions posted on their website their entire catalog and we got to chose what songs and the band took that list and played it during the tour.

I mean if it is to be their last major tour maybe we could pick what we would like to hear them play for us.

I don't mean to be Buzz Killington here, but opening up the setlist to the public is a bad idea. The general populace will always choose the most famous songs. Last year (or maybe it was 2013), Metallica did a bunch of dates outside the US (mostly Europe I think) where the fans got to choose most of the setlist, and it was almost alllllll hits, except And Justice For All (which still got picked a lot) and that new song they were playing (which the band chose themselves). You get a big enough crowd and all you're gonna end up with is the Enter Sandmans and Sad But Trues (or in our case, the Tom Sawyers and Limelights) of the catalog. I think there was one country that was desperate for The Frayed Ends of Sanity (which had never been played live), which was pretty cool. I remember thinking "this was a really cool idea in theory, which REALLY backfired."

Another post of 'ooo ooo here's my set list'.

 

That's nice, but they're not listening so this is an exercise in futility.

 

Or you know, you could not be a Bad Mood Beverly and let people have fun with it.
