LocalsBandGuy Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Being that the band have all said individually this will be a comprehensive set list spanning their careers, one would hope they would touch on every album. Unfortunately, we already know this is not the case. Forget about individual songs. Which albums get the total blow off this time around? Will it be more than just Power Windows? Will the 1st album be off the set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 They can do a medley that begins at the beginning and ends at the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaminbenb Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 If they are truly doing the "retrospective experience" thing with this "last tour" then I think they do at LEAST one tune from EVERY album....whether full or in part. I'd be willing to bet that you see which ever holdover from the individual albums tour that made it to the NEXT tour on the set list.

Todem Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Everything is on the table this tour IMO. I have no clue what album they will diss. Not a clue. Less than a month away from Tampa!!! 3 months till Vegas!!!! WHOO WHOOOOOOO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disk98 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I think Vapor Trails and Caress of Steel both get the axe. But then again, they always do, so there's nothing new here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaturalScientist75 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 It would be great if they did at least one song off every album. We need a song from COS. Been way to long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm old school (2112, AFTK, etc.) and I like it. Oh, I'm not saying that list is good or bad, I'm just looking at what they seem to do from year to year... I'm sure we'll get something totally obscure, and a few things we all go "WTF??!" But knowing how they usually do the set lists from tour to tour....No new album this time, so you'll get some off the wall stuff like R30...and if their "for the fans" attitude sticks, then they'll play what they think we like...and since we're the hard core fans, it won't be what WE like! (and unless they decide they're only playing stuff from HyF, Presto, RtB, and T4E, I WON'T complain about the set list!) And yeah, I'm with you...I'm old school as well and I LOVE S&A! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todem Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Ok...if I were a betting man: Presto and COS will not be represented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocalsBandGuy Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) We KNOW Power Windows is out. I'm inclined to think every other album will represented, just not every night. I could see albums like HYF, Presto, VT, t4e, and maybe even RTB only showing up on one night of the 2 alternating sets. Alex (keep in mind the Big Al reality/fantasy factor of .83 with ANYTHING Big Al says regarding the band), said 2 particular things:They have 35 songs ready.They are shortening the sets a little. These 2 things add up to more rotation slots in the set. Edited April 27, 2015 by LocalsBandGuy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtpoet Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 ^^^^^agreed. Simple math. Here's my best guess (any medleys are not counted in the total number of songs. They will be in addition to): SET 1:8 songs + medley9 songs minus medley SET 2:11 songs + medley12 songs minus medley ENCORE:2 songs + medley4 songs minus medley CA Tour was 10-13-4 or 27 songs (no medleys). Without any medleys, the count above will be 25 songs (9-12-4). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect to see at least one song from the album. Lerxst isn't always the most truthful interviewee.

JohnRogers Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I like each album to get some play but that won't likely happen. I'd dump RUSH the debut album of the brief Rutsy era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember he denied Rush was working on a concept album (Clockwork Angels). ;) Hopefully they play the song I inspired from PW (Middletown Dreams) Other than that... I could take either Territories OR Mystic Rhythms..the rest can "rest"! I'm hoping for more "pre" Moving Pictures stuff, myself! (and even pre-Permanent Waves works as well) So they can "diss" anything from PW on, and I won't complain ONE bit! (hell, I'd even take Lessons and Tears over anything from Presto or Roll the Bones!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket ignites Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Since last tour was basically the Clockwork Windows tour...skip all of PW. Hold Your Fire's been rep'd well...dust off Prime Mover/Turn the Page or go full eject also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALifeson85 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 It'll just be one big 2-hour medley of: Finding My Way / In The End / I Think I'm Going Bald / The Twilight Zone / Madrigal / La Villa Strangiato / Freewill / Tom Sawyer / Losing It / Red Lenses / The Big Money / Show Don't Tell / Roll The Bones / Animate / Virtuality / One Little Victory / Summertime Blues / Malignant Narcissism / Drum Solo / Wish Them Well.

Disembodied Spirit Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Caress of Steel is out.T4E might be out as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pale Facsimile Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I think that between the alternating nights, and with the use of a medley, each album will be represented at least once. I would think we'd see very little from Power Windows and Clockwork Angels, but at least SOMEthing. Heck, if they want to whittle down HYF, Presto and RtB as well, that'd be fine... let's just make it Emotion Detector, Headlong Flight, Prime Mover, Presto and Roll the Bones, respectively, from those five...BOOM! 5 albums out of the way in about 27 minutes! Also, regarding the song count debate... 2112 is one song made up of seven different parts. Not multiple songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
