  1. Dreamline, Test for Echo, The Big Money or Far Cry get my vote. I'd like to see either one of them. Now if they really wanted to slip us a big surprise, they open the show with the entire Signals album. Open with Subdivisions, and proceed from there. That would be a curveball right at the beginning of the show
  2. The Anarchist, Headlong Flight, and Clockwork Angels. I can already hear Headlong Flight live in my head. It would be so epic. I'd actually be sort of okay with it if they decided to NOT play Caravan or BU2B. "We played it for two years, everyones heard it. Let's take it out and play 2 other new songs." I'd be alright with that logic. But I think its unlikely.
  3. I say it every tour....Half the World. But I'd also go with Test for Echo. Maybe to open the show
  4. I'd have to say Nobody's Hero or Double Agent. Nobody's Hero is my favorite song from the album, and it really strikes a chord with me. I'd like to see it live. Double Agent they could do alot with fire like they did on the CP tour.
  5. Earthshine or One Little Victory. I'd like to say Ceiling Unlimited, but I don't think Geddy has the voice for it anymore. They dropped it halfway through the VT tour for that reason I believe
  6. I'd have to say One Little Victory or Far Cry. Me personally, I've always had Stick it Out up there as an optimistic tune. Overcoming obstacles and "sticking it out" through even the worst of times. That song has gotten me through so much in my life. Someone above mentioned Bravado. I agree, but I've always looked at Bravado as a song about hope. That no matter what happens, we will pay the price we have to pay for our what we've done, but we will keep our pride, and when we look back on it, we will not regret what we did. Bravado may be my favorite "deep" lyric Neil has ever written when it comes to emotions and feelings.
  7. I always say that if the only people attending your concerts are 12 and 13 year old screaming girls, your music is, in reality, pure crap. Now, if you're audience ranges from 11-12 year olds up to middle aged men and women, then you've clearly done something right during your career. Bieber will be worth less than me in 3 years, tops. Look at Miley Cyrus. She was the big thing about 2 years ago, and she's virtually faded into obscurity. Pop stars never last.
  8. QUOTE (usb_connector @ Mar 19 2011, 10:27 PM) I'd rather pay someone 50$ to do a good photoshop job of me in a M&G. I did a great Photoshop of me and my father using a photo I found from the TM tour. He put it up in his office window and had people left and right asking him if it was real. Almost all of them thought it was. What was the best was that the two people in the picture had the same basic body shape and height we both have. All I had to do was find pictures with our heads and faces in the right lighting and position. Thing came out great. But I wouldn't charge for something that is practically free to make anyway.
  9. 1. Hold Your Fire 2. Counterparts 3. Mystic Rhythms OR Earthshine (too close b/w the two) 4. ByTor and the Snow Dog 5. Snakes and Arrows 6. Limelight (I think, but can't remember) 7. Can play on guitar- I can play so many. My favorite at the present time is Far Cry. 8. Have yet to master Leave That Thing Alone. Solo is tricky. 9. Dreamline 10. Stick It Out 11. This is too tough- but may have to be either Dreamline or Earthshine. 12. Limelight
  10. After only liking a few songs off this album for years, I can now finally say: I can listen to the first 9 tracks straight through without skipping. It took a while for The Stars Look Down and How It Is to get to me, but now I like both of them. How It Is just speaks the honest truth. "You can't tell yourself not to care You can't tell yourself how to feel That's how it is"
  11. Okay, this may be a stupid question, but: Anyone know what the meaning/background of "Double Agent" is? Knowing Neil, it could be a number of things. I just can't find an answer anywhere.
  12. Nobody's Hero is the most moving RUSH song for me. That song is Neil's deepest, without a doubt. It's not even that bad. He wrote about how he felt, and how true heroes are the ones no one recognizes. Having lost a friend recently who had a long, multi-year battle with cancer, I will say, the song has really meant alot to me recently. He's a true hero.
  13. He's got some weird ones, yea. Maybe a few terrible ones. Like, what was the point of "Tai Shan", or half of the CP album. I mean, really? But even the "whiny" songs I tend to just take my own view on, not caring what his original point was. What I don't get is why people seem to think Neil is always poking at God and religion. Everywhere I read (at least on this board) it's all about that. So what. I think we all at this point realize his view. He wants to keep beating a dead horse (that died back in the 80s), go ahead. We all get it at this point But hee does have some convincing ones. Thats another topic. I think Neil gets a kick out of trying to make people argue over him and his lyrics. He probably logs in to this board everyday with a cup of coffee and sits back and laughs at everything he reads.
  14. Highlight for me was Marathon and Camera Eye. Marathon is the one song I've been dying for since I first heard it. When I found out they were playing it I almost stroked. TCE was just awesome because they finally played it. And the videos of NYC and London on the screen were awesome. Least favorite......... Shockingly, I'm struggling to find one. I'd have to say either Freewill (it can only be played so many times) or Presto (it's neat that they played it, but I think there are so many other songs that could play the roll of 'song before Geddy speaks for the first time'.)
  15. QUOTE (Showdonttell25 @ Jan 30 2011, 01:23 AM) add In the Mood to the encore as I saw someone said here...great idea. I can dream can i? I've been saying for years, In the Mood is probably one of the very few "early days" tunes they could play these days without any one of them having to worry about something. No need to de-tune or anything. They could = they should.
  16. No, absolutely not. I know it was the "the thing" back in the day, but it's just wrong on so many levels. They disrupt other people, and sometimes (this happend at the show I was at this summer) some moron knocks it onto the stage, and crew has to come out and disrupt the show, and it can really throw the band off if it for some reason gets in there way. As someone who plays live on stage, and have played in front of crowds that have done had beach balls, I personally do not like it. Just my opinion.
  17. I like Stick It Out. But I there are other songs I'd prefer to hear. Camera Eye is my #1 reason for going again this year. I would pay the price of my ticket to walk in, watch them play Camera Eye, then leave. Easily worth it for me.
  18. QUOTE (Hemispheres89 @ Jan 15 2011, 11:44 PM) QUOTE (GuitarPlyr01 @ Jan 14 2011, 03:14 PM) Some of these are good suggestions. Some are just not going to happen. I hate to admit, because I'd like to see some of the old stuff get played, but get over it people, stuff like Fly by Night, Finding, My Way, Middletown Dreams, are never going to be played. They are a VERY, VERY long shot. Why no shot at Middletown Dreams? If Marathon has a good enough choice to be included, then I would think anything off of PW is up for grabs. And I hope like hell it would have chance I just think it's unlikely, has it ever been played live? I think Big Money is another one off of PoW that needs to be played. It's the songs off of CoS, FBN, and AFTK that just don't have a shot. I'd like to Madrigal, but it just won't happen. And to the above post (^) talking about CTTH, I agree 100%. That off-speed tempo just really threw the entire song off. I wish they'd go back to the old long jams in the middle like they did back in the 80s and on Different Stages.
  19. I, too, will buy it the day it comes out. This tour was really unlike any other tour they've done. The DVD would be so unlike any of the other DVDs they've done.
  20. Where's it gonna go? Only place I can logically see it is in place of 2112, and that's because they haven't stopped playing 2112 since the 90s. I think they've played it every tour since 96 when they did all of it.
  21. Some of these are good suggestions. Some are just not going to happen. I hate to admit, because I'd like to see some of the old stuff get played, but get over it people, stuff like Fly by Night, Finding, My Way, Middletown Dreams, are never going to be played. They are a VERY, VERY long shot. They'll probably take out Presto because it seemed to be giving them all problems. Probably for something like New World Man or Distant Early Warning. That may be the one and only change. I'd prefer Stick it Out, but it'll probably stay..........
  22. To answer the O.P- I'm 95% sure you'll get all the pyro at the MSG show. MSG is indeed an indoor venue, but it's big enough to allow for all sorts of pyro. I've seen groups that have had more pyro than what Rush uses (both in size/capacity and amount) at MSG, and they've used it all. Unless it has to do with the placement of the stage the day of the show or the band just doesn't feel like using it that day for some reason, you should see it.
  23. I'll be realistic about it based on what they've done in the past: Natural Science (at the end of MP, before Caravan. CTTH comes out for all the N.A. shows) Distant Early Warning for Presto The Trees for Faithless I, personally, would like to see Nobody's Hero get played. Maybe put Dreamline back in. But it won't happen.
  24. The Hershey show seems to be doing fine. There are only a few scattered floor seats and upper bowl seats left on Ticketmaster from what I can tell. Not much left. It figures to be decent, considering it's the closest show to anyone who lives in eastern PA and New Jersey, unless you plan to go down to Baltimore, which doesn't have many seats left either. I will say this, though. At the Philadelphia show in 2008, I got upper bowl seats. Bought them late because we didn't originally plan on going to see the show. When I got the venue and went to meet and buddy at his seats in the lower bowl just before the show, the usher asked where we were sitting, and when we said upstairs, she told us we had to go to a table in the concourse to get relocated seats. Turns out, we were 10 rows off of big AL's side of the stage. ALOT better than we had planned on. The entire upper bowl was empty that night. Ticket sales aren't always what Tm says they are for a show.
  25. With the exception of Toronto, I can't see them adding anymore Eastern US/CAN dates. Now if they were to play in Vancouver in say mid-June, that would be awesome. VAN is my vacation this year. Tickets: $100 Merchandise/Food: $75 Getting to see play IN Canada? Priceless
