Earthshine Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) Many of us have songs we love by Rush that have never been played live before (as far as we know!). For me, there are tons of them that I have never seen them do live that I think would have been great played live and that I think others would have loved seeing live too.This would be a special and unique concert, hence the length of it. Just for fun, here's my setlist of never played live before songs: Opening sequences: Like we've seen before, but something different, yet extremely funny, that only they could think of. A Three Stooges theme song that was possibly never used before and snippets of never played live before songs (kind of like Closer To The Heart and The Spirit Of Radio have been used in the past)?

All created by the band. Edited May 22, 2017 by Earthshine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earthshine Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) Lessons has been done live I think, and this thread was already done :) When was Lessons done live? Interesting. I am sure this thread had probably had been done already, but did not know where it was. Or how recent it had been done; i.e. post-Clockwork Angels. :) Edited May 22, 2017 by Earthshine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Different Strings was done live same for Lessons, I would have to look it up to make sure thou. When I saw them on the Test For Echo Tour I was pretty sure Virtuality was not done live. I would be very curious to know. But I am sure you have a bootleg of them playing it. I know they were alternating Time And Motion and Resist at the time. When I saw them, they did Resist. I would have preferred them play both. :) When I saw them on the Permanent Waves Tour, the only songs not played from Permanent Waves were Entre Nous and Different Strings. Not doubting any of what you are saying. :) I love learning more about the band here. Thank you! :ebert: Edited May 22, 2017 by Earthshine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PolarizeMe Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 (edited) Virtuality was played live as already mentioned. Official live footage from the R40 Box Set compilation is here. Different Strings and Lessons on the other hand were NEVER played live. Edited May 23, 2017 by PolarizeMe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Permanent-Rush Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 What about fountains of lamneth? To my knowledge, and I am sure almost everyone else here agrees that it was never preformed live. It could have, but we may never know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earthshine Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 (edited) Between the Sun & Moon was played on the Vapor Trails tour. Yeah, now that I think of it, I think it was played on the Counterparts tour too! Duh! Thanks! Cut to the Chase is the CP song I'm bummed they ignored....well, Alien Shore also. Yeah, Alien Shore definitely. I was very surprised that was not played live. Edited May 23, 2017 by Earthshine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All created by the band Tbh, I wouldn't be too excited about that set list. I don't even really want to hear half of it. Maybe a little more. What I would do is this though:I'd have a medley like they did for R30 BUT it'd be stuff off Victor and My Favorite Headache. I'd put this 5 song, 6-8 minute medley at the start of the second act. I'd have it consist of (and not in this order) Promise, Strip and Go Naked, My Favorite Headache, Home on the Strange, and Grace to Grace. If Rush could play covers of their favorite artists during that R30 tour then surely they can play non-Rush tunes in medley form off Victor and MFH. I'd only do it for this particular imaginary situation since it fits into the "never played live before" theme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleMoon Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 This is probably, with the exception of Cut To The Chase and Lessons, a list of my least favorite songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
