It sucks to say, but the only way to avoid spoilers is to avoid the forum altogether. There are too many people who can’t resist the urge to be douchebags and blurt out the name of a song.

***Spoiler Alert*** ***Spoiler Alert*** ***Spoiler Alert*** Rush is playing Tom Sawyer and The Spirit of Radio on this tour!

In two of my other Song Prediction/ Set Posts I added a 2nd Encore. do you think it's time for RUSH to do a Second Encore? Say the finish the 1st Encore with Closer to the Heart (Extended Jam). Then the lights don't come up and they Return for 2112 Overture / TOS / Finale! I think the crowd would loose their collective minds. It would be EPIC! Can you Imagine the crowd after the Encore, wondering what's going on with the Lights? And then the opening sound of 2112 Overture comes on! I would loose my shit right There!

that would be amazing!!

Triumph can open up for RUSH but not the other way around.

I think Cut To The Chase will probably be played because people have been clamoring for it to be played every tour since S&A. Also, didn't Alex mention at the time of R40 that they were rehearsing / had been fooling around with it?

I really hope they play some stuff from Presto. I’m not sure why they haven’t played Show Don’t Tell in such a long time. That is such a heavy riff and great chorus. Presto is a really great song too and it really was a nice surprise in 2010. I would love to hear Chain Lightning as one never played, great vocal on that. Geddy sang really well on that album and all the 90’s albums. They wrote songs in keys where he didn’t sing as high and I think the songs benefited. Everyday Glory is also a great song on Counter Parts. I think it’s far better than most of the others in that album.

*** spoiler alert! *** the drummer is female. I'll just spread false rumors to express my first amendment rights. I prefer knowing the set list so I can time my pee breaks.

Show added in Santiago Chile, January 17th.

Spoiler warning very much needed. I am part of the crowd that absolutely doesn't want to know whats coming. One of my top favorite music experiences was on the Test For Echo tour when we got all of 2112. No surprise with Overture>Temples. But when Discovery started, I was probably the happiest person on this planet. With that being said, I don't have patience. Got my work bonus last week. Pretty sure I'll see y'all in LA.

Does what shirt Geddy is wearing count as a spoiler?

I’m hoping for a big as it happens setlist thread on night one…and probably nights 2, 3, and 4 as well, if setlist changeouts are as many as are being speculated each night. But yea spoiler tags should be employed all over the board. I’m not going to try and stay unspoiled for two months until my show, no way that happens…so I’ll embrace the spoilers as they come. others that can hold out, salut!

Insight on how they'll honor Neil during the concerts: https://ultimateclassicrock.com/rush-neil-peart-reunion-shows/

Anika mentioned it in Classic Rock. I forgot YYZ too, list edited.

Had not read about TSS anywhere.

Well they've clearly rehearsed Finding My Way 😁 Extrapolating from various interviews you can add Xanadu, Spirit of Radio, Natural Science, Tom Sawyer, YYZ, Limelight, Subdivisions and Time Stand Still.

I had also thought that an Ascending show would be interesting, but I don't think it would work out quite as well.

I think they served notice what the opener will be.....we shall see. My top 5 choices would be: 1. The Spirit of Radio 2. Subdivisions 3. Limelight 4. 2112 Overture/Temples/Presentation/ Grand Finale 5. Anthem

I posted this in another thread.... there is no way they are not going to do LVS, now that it's a band of 4.

I've asked the guys from Zebra a couple of times if they'd bring AF2K back into their set, or do FBN. Randy Jackson can still handle these songs. But they aren't into it. Oh well. We do have YYNOT. :) For the record, I love the song FBN.... it's in my essential songs playlist along with AF2K.
