Intermission setlist
Money by Pink Floyd
Money for Nothing by Dire Straits
and this..........................

If anything I also think they should have represented all albums on this tour...But I AM glad that they did some of what they did....

It's unfortunate but the CA tour is the reason why 80s Rush fans ended up getting short-changed for R40

[TFEman]

Set 1:
The Anarchist
Carnies or BU2B
Far Cry
The Seeker
One Little Victory or Secret Touch
How It Is or Ceiling Unlimited
Driven
Cut To The Chase
Where's My Thing
Ghost of A Chance
Presto
Force Ten
Lock And Key
The Big Money
Afterimage
The Analog Kid or Chemistry
Subdivisions

Set 2:
Tom Sawyer
Red Barchetta or The Camera Eye
YYZ

I know this would be a bit long but I can dream, can't I? I tried to get one from every album and to build off of their actual set. I also tried to squeeze in my favorites, although there's still a lot I left out.

Fly By Night
What You're Doing
Working Man / Garden Road

The Second Night -

Carnies

How It Is
Animate
Show Don't Tell
Lock and Key
Losing It

Won't somebody PLEASE think of the keyboards? Those poor, neglected keyboards....

Just hop on a "time machine" to the CA tour. Plenty of synths to go around there!

I def got my synth fill on the CA tour

was fun!

[DistantEarlySignals]

I do think that for the last tour, they should've rotated Between The Wheels with one PoW song and one HYF song and the VT slot going to a T4E song like Driven just to round out the catalog. I know that they played a ton of Power Windows on CA, but it was the last tour, so touching on everything would've been nice. oh well. Still the best show I've ever seen, and a stunning way to end their live career

[the twelve year old oldie]

If R40 had limelight, this would be the best rush live album

[Steve Smith]

Gosh Limelight!

I can believe it is 36 years old now. I am going to plug in my guitar to my effects board and little amp and try to relearn it !!!

Lovely arpeggios with chorus effect on guitar and great time signatures. Intro in 7/4 then 6/4 in the verse then 3/4 in the chorus then Neil plays 4/4 over Alex and Geddy playing 3/4 in the last chorus. Just wonderful. Really tricky guitar work!

As a guitar player I got a tip from a really good drummer friend of mine about playing in different meters. He said "don't try to count it otherwise you will f**k up, you just have to FEEL IT". Best advice I ever got about time signatures.

[rugen]

A set-list that have no songs from the 90's and 20's would have been perfect

[Airship2112]

Instead of playing how it is bring the whole fear saga to a close and play freeze

Beginning with 3 songs of CA was not needed at every show after playing the entire album the tour before.
I would have preferred 1 song, 2 at the most from CA

That's more like it,I would leave out Lakeside Park only because he had such a hard time singing it.

[YYZ Working Man]

For 1st  Encore - Bring out Kim Mitchell (Max Webster) both bands playing BATTLESCAR .. now that would be really cool

[workingthemangels63]

they could have left off closer to the heart,animate, would have loved to sing cygnus instead of just playing the instrumental.other than that,i loved the set list.

Geddy couldn't handle singing Cygnus now. It would have been awesome if he could have though.

Maybe the first singing part, but definitley not the high notes in the second part.

[jnoble]

Including one song from each album and no skipping. I was bummed out at the loading up on new songs and totally skipping over 4 albums.
Also play the guitars that were era specific so Geddy plays the Wal for the '85-91 songs and the Fender and Rick for the others. I thought his switching to a new bass every song was silly and distracting plus some of them were butt-ugly

The new songs and Geddy's bass collection were highlights for me.
