Rush surprises everyone and performs at the 2019 Super Bowl. They only play three songs. Pick them . By the way I don’t care if the average American doesn’t know the song .

My 3. spirit of radio.animate . One little victory. Not in that order though

They would be play their three biggest "hits." You know they wouldn't go for any deep cuts. So it would be Tom Sawyer, The Spirit of Radio, and either Limelight or Closer To The Heart.

 

If it were up to me, they'd play 2112 (the whole song), Hemispheres and La Villa. Because who cares when the second half of the football game starts.

Yeah it would be TS, TSOR, and one of the other mega popular choices. But that would never happen for more reasons than I care to write out.

Closest they came to something like this was when they were due to play the Winter Olympic ceremony, I watched in anticipation of them appearing but to my disappointment it never happened. Later I saw an interview with Geddy where he said they were asked to mime to a backing track, to which a polite "that's not what we do" response was offered. If it was possible to have respected them any more I would've. :) Edited by Lurkst

Dog Years, I Think I'm Going Bald and Tai Shan---just for the WTF look on every Rush fan's face. :LOLsign:

 

Seriously, it would likely be TS, TSOR and either Subdivisions or Limelight--although I'd love to see them get subversive and throw in The Big Money.

The most fitting and in this order:

Limelight, Marathon, One Little Victory, 2112 Grand Finale bit

 

The most likely to happen and in this order:

The Spirit of Radio, Tom Sawyer, Limelight

 

Me being a greedy Rush bastard:

All of side 1 of 2112, All of side 1 of Hemispheres, La Villa Strangiato

 

 

I spit in the direction of Justin Timberlake!

 

:blaze:

Disregarding the fact that this has no chance whatsoever of happening , I’d say Basically look at what they played at the SARS benefit and go with a few of those...

 

Not sure if the word is out, but Rush is retired. That’s one reason it will never happen. They also aren’t nearly a big enough or flashy enough for what that performance has become...It’s all about the visuals and less the music.

 

Then again, Rush could always pull a Janet Jackson move and have an “accidental” wardrobe malfunction. Something along the linees of Alex’s pants dropping in the middle of the Linelight solo
