2-3 songs off of CA seems pretty reasonable to me. 5-6 off of S&A would be great too just for the meltdown in this forum... :16ton:

My @ss used for hand warmers again if thats the case...

No Electronic Kit = No Red Lenses, Red Sector A, Scars or Mystic Rhythms.... You can't just turn around and play them on the acoustic kit as if nothing ever happened... The WAY to play those songs is dictated by the back kit tom placements and also uses the front kit.. .And back in the P\G days, the 6" and 8" toms were right next to the back kit, now they are way forward..... Unless Neil would drastically reinvent the drums to Red Lenses, I don't see it happening.....

Some serious dislike for Red Lenses here, what is it that people don't like about it so much, I always thought it had a cool groove, loved the bass line and stands out on that record. Kid Gloves I don't mind but might be the most "normal" sounding straight ahead rock track on that album.

 

I think we can safely say that Anarchist is the one guarantee in the set based on that crank bunny instagram pic.

Well, Alex gave major hint on setlist. Specifically mentioned last tour they explored 80s in depth, such as PoW and HYF, and specifically said they will not be doing that as much this time. From Rush is a Band-

 

...that the setlist will be comprehensive and that they dug deep for material. They'll be playing a good bit of older material that they haven't played in a while that will include a good cross-section of songs spanning their 40-year career. He also mentioned that since they covered a lot of the 80s material on the last tour, they won't focus on that as much for R40.

Even though he isn't bringing the full electronic kit, he's still got 3 v-drums as part of the R40 kit. 2 on the right above the floor toms and 1 on the left, Neil could pull off any of these songs with his acoustic kit and 3 pads. He could also change the drum part as he did on The Body Electric on the last tour. I wouldn't put any song on the "can't play without electronic drums" list.

He did specifically point out PoW and HYF, so this guys Kid Gloves and Red Lenses spoiler still could be true, found that interesting.

Completely agree, although I would say Red Sector A and Mystic Rhythms should be played with that electronic kit not to say it would be impossible without it but it just fits the song right. Red Lenses could definitely be pulled off without that kit.

MF, red lenses could definitely be true. since Alex mentioned HYF, he was probably referring to recent tours,as they only did one off HYF last time.

 

dt, thanks for getting the best answer from Alex....major star of the show!

 

My take was that it was a slight nod to the fact they've over explored the 80s the last two tours, and this tour will be different, will feature all eras. They keep using the chronology reference (which implies they would play something from each album in order), perhaps they will....

 

Play Chronicles in its entirety??

Neil has electronic triggers in his main kit. Just because he doesn't have a full v-drum kit behind him doesn't mean he can't play songs with electronic drums in them. He has not only a few vdrums scattered around, but other pads, a pedal trigger, an octovibe pad.

2-3 Clockwork Angels songs, I'd expect. Maybe four. Caravan and Headlong Flight are givens, but I wouldn't be surprised if The Anarchist indeed returns and the title track comes back. And I'm A-OK with that! :yes:

Silly thread... they already announced the setlist will change from night to night anyway.

 

This is a Rush FAN forum and post after post of "I don't like ______"??

WTF??

 

Seen every tour since 1976 and still feel lucky to see them together. After Mr. Peart's personal loss, I truly thought that was the end of Rush.

So that's now two members that have hinted at some sort of chronological order.

 

Perhaps we should give the Prelude / Fry Cry rumor a rest.

I also think any kind of R40 Overture is highly unlikely. It's not like Rush to repeat themselves. They will come up with a fresh approach.

Are you referring to prelude/far cry + the RD,KG,Anarchist rumour? Came from the same guy johnny unless another rumour started?

Not so sure about Caravan making the cut after 2 straight tours. (maybe wishful thinking because I'm not a big fan of the song)

 

Neil did say he's all for the title track in future tours setlists....should be interesting.

I would rather hear Carnies, The Anarchist or Seven Cities of Gold than Caravan, but I wouldn't be disgruntled with anything from CA. I like just about every song on the album. A couple songs from CA would be great, but 3-4 would be a little much. Edited by CaressMySteel

Unless it's in the encore. If there is a chronological approach, then my guess the encore will be a reflection if all the different eras.

 

We have drum kit rumor which is reportedly for the 2nd set which one could conclude is for older songs. Cause and effect. If it's chronological and the 2nd set is older material then the 1st set would be newer. The encore would reflect the different eras. Maybe something like;

 

Hemispheres Prelude

Far Cry

In The Mood

Linelight

 

Something like that...

Theres a live clip of red lenses on youtube from the HYF tour and neil does play it on the electronic but again I don't think he necessarily needs it. I mean he regularly plays the trees now on that kit but when that song was written he of course didn't use electronics. Since we know he will not have that back kit this tour had me thinking what songs he actually uses that on and I'm realizing it really is not a lot, what I can think of from the last couple tours is: Clockwork Angels, Red Sector A, Mystic Rhythms, The Trees and of course the drum solo. Makes sense that he just decided to not bother bringing it. Am I missing anything from that list?

 

No way that is possible. That song was never played on the HYF tour.

 

Ever.

 

Are you mistaking Red Sector A?

The biggest problem with red lenses is whoever thought it was such a brilliant idea to fade out the jamming Geddy does at the end of the studio cut. Angers me every time I hear it.

 

Funny....I love it that way. It makes you want more....and it works. It has character. It has mystery. Because you know he kept jamming and jamming. It is a brilliant fade out.
