Broncos730 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 First off, long long time since I've posted here! Saw the show in Phoenix and here are my favorite moments - 1. Xanadu (double necks and double bass drum double wow)2. Hemispheres 2 and 13. Jacob's Ladder4. The Anarchist. A surprisingly strong opening song. Does anybody know the 'setlist' for the songs playing prior to the show start? I know Neil personally picks those tunes and I recognized some Tull and Genesis. There were some pretty good songs and I'd love to check them out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also remember Man of our Times and Behind The Lines. Also ELP's From The Beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleMoon Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I remember Kansas and Supertramp. Every time I hear Fool's Overture now it takes me back to the feeling I had before each Rush concert. I think I've heard it every show I've been to for the past few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cygnify Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) back in the day, I wrote to Neil via Modern Drummer magazine and asked him about two specific songs that I had heard on the Hold Your Fire and Roll the Bones pre-show tapes. Those tours were back in the day before the internet, sound hound, shazam - so identifying strange songs (that not so many Rush fans were aware of) was difficult. I described the songs to Neil - and this is how he replied: http://www.andrewolson.com/Neil_Peart/writing/postcards/images/pc2back.jpg Edited August 12, 2015 by cygnify 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was this song - on the Summer Roll the Bones tour (unrelated note: I won front row tickets at the show in Mansfield, Mass - by bringing a can of soup to a food drive that the band was sponsoring!) "Tour de France" was in the pre-show music for the Hold Your Fire tour, which I think works in an odd way. A couple other early pre-show songs I remember (though I can't verify exactly which tour) - "Big Generator" by Yes, "Cult of Personality" by Living Colour, and "Inertiatic ESP" by The Mars Vola (that one was recent - S&A?)

Catch The Mystery Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 The HYF tour was my first Rush live experience. I don't remember anything about the preshow music though ;) But that Kraftwerk track is really cool. I just saw them a coulple of weeks ago when they performed their whole Tour de France album the night before the Tour de France started here in The Netherlands (in Utrecht). And with Neil being a cycle fanatic back in the day it's an obvious song for him to pick :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
