That One Guy Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 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! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DistantEarlySignals Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Smith Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 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. XX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnoble Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 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 :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnoble Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Forgot....play Hemi:Prelude in its original key and segway into Cygnus right at the point where the vocals come in since Geddy can't sing it anymore. It sounded AWFUL in dropped tuning IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek19 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) I went, and attended to the "Rush R40 Tour" concert in Vancouver, and to describe by naming two words, I thought it was awesome, and amazing. If I knew that it was going to be Rush's last tour before, and was to put together "Rush R40 Tour" setlist, I would have included songs from all nineteen of their compact disks, and albums, and not "Feedback". I'm not including films before the start of sets one, two, the encore, and a closing. I would've done it reverse chronological order from "Clockwork Angels" to "Rush" like how they did it, but with rotations of a few songs. The songs I would've picked are: Set One Headlong Flight (with Drumbastica mini drum solo)the Main Monkey BusinessHow It Is (1)Sweet Miracle (2)Driven (Bass showcase solo)Animate (3)Stick It Out (4)DreamlineShow Don't TellMissionMarathonDistant Early Warning (5)Between the Wheels (6)Kid Gloves (7)Countdown (8)Losing It (9)Subdivisions Set Two Tom Sawyerthe Camera Eyethe Spirit of RadioNatural ScienceJacob's LadderCygnus X-1 Book Two: Hemispheres - I.

jnoble Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 That's a good setlist.

MalformedEarthborn Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Finding My Way, Working Man, Anthem, By-tor and the Snowdog, the entire CoS album, side 1 of 2112, Xanadu, Cygnus X-1:Book 1, the entire Hemispheres album, Jacob's Ladder, Natural Science, Red Barchetta, The Camera Eye, Subdivisions, The Analog Kid, Distant Early Warning, The Big Money, Alien Shore, Virtuality and the Garden... Given the Lakeside Park footage from R40, the entire CoS album (and Hemispheres for that matter) would be brutal with Geddy's vox. However, dropped down a few, I would kill to see Lamneth at least 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex's excuse was that they played a ton of mid-late 80s material on the Clockwork Tour so they didn't need to revisit. Well, yes, yes they did! It was a 40th anny greatest hits our last tour ever...You're SUPPOSED to hit on all phases of your long career, not just cherry pick the ones you like the most :codger: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClashWho Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 (edited) Like a lot of you, I wish every album had been represented. I would have done one or two songs from each of their nineteen albums (three from MP). I did like the going back in time idea, so I'd have done it like this: Set 1 1. The Anarchist2. Far Cry3. Secret Touch4. Test For Echo5. Between Sun & Moon6. Bravado7. Show Don't Tell8. Time Stand Still9. Manhattan Project10. Marathon11. Distant Early Warning12. Losing It Break Set 2 13. Subdivisions14. Tom Sawyer15. Limelight16. YYZ17. The Spirit of Radio18. Freewill19. La Villa Strangiato20. Closer to the Heart21. Xanadu22. 2112 (Overture + Temples of Syrinx + Grand Finale) Encore 23.
