    Earlier today - Tony R was quoted as saying -" Losing It, Territories, and Jacobs Ladder on the set list."

    When asked by someone; "Tony Do you have a view of the setlist?", he replied "Indeed I do!"

    Guess not -

    Well no Jacobs Ladder or Losing It! Man that really deflated my expectations. Who knows? Maybe the technical difficulties forced them take out a couple of songs. They also started late, maybe there's noise ordenance at the site as well. Anyway, I don't Think Tony R would have reported that if he actually hadn't seen it. He's a pretty cool guy!

     

    There's always the Next show, Maybe they'll mix it up.

    Yeah, I agree that the mix is over-compressed, too much instrumentation fighting for the same sonic stage, the instruments don't enough room to breathe.  The vinyl remedies this a little bit.

    Bingo!

     

    And yet it still kicks my ass!

    Do people ever switch seats?

    At a few shows, I've given up pretty good seats.  In Dallas, I met a guy on the lawn and gave him my 5th row center for the second set and encore.  I saw the rest of the show from the lawn and had a better time with some cool people that were his friends.  In Chicago, I met a girl before the show with eyesight issues who was sitting waaaaay back, and I gave her and her friend my Geddy-side 3rd row tix at intermission.  My brother, who's ticket I also gave away, was cool with it (I bought the tix so he couldn't gripe much), and I found out that by sitting waaaaay back, you can see parts of the show like the lighting that you miss when you're up close.  Other times, I've let people borrow my close up seats for a few songs.  A few times in Kansas City, I gave a randomly picked dad and his son second row center seats for a few songs, while I sat back in row 45 or thereabouts.  Both times, the kid came back with eyes wide and a story to tell his friends, and the dad looked like a hero, while I missed being up close for a few songs that I saw from up close on other stops on the tour anyway.  Don't know what I would have done if dad and son didn't come back from my seats, of course; maybe that would be a better story anyway.
      I am aware that I have been almost impossibly fortunate in my life.  I believe that when you're fortunate to be able to afford really good seats, you can share the experience with some real fans who haven't been as fortunate, and get more out of the deal in the long run anyway.

    Strong first post and I'd be cool with it if you gave me free tickets too...nomsayin?

    old.gif Ya know back before this internet thing-a-ma-jig we had to figure out songs all by ourself. Yep, fire up the record on the turntable and play the same 15-20 seconds over and over until I learned it. Drove the roommates nuts.

    But I guess internet tabs save time since I don't have 2-3 hours to spend figuring out songs. It does take some of the challenge out of it though.

    I remember the drop the needle days of the 80s. I credit this to how good my ear has become. I still try to do this to stay in practice. Kids will bring tabs into lessons to learn songs and I try to get them to listen so they can figure out the nuances. Very few want to do that. Just show me the song, they say.

    God, it does make me sound old though...

    That must have been hard to figure out solos

    I found the writing style pedantic..

    "But why not just think about your day? There's enough to do here in Barrel Arbor."

    "That's too small. I can't stop thinking big."


    I mean really, does he have to use those exact words in a quote? there are so many better ways to capture that feeling.

    I can see Neil saying to KJA "Hey, don;t forget to say that he can;t stop thinking big!" KJA rolls his eyes. Really? Really?

    You're right that sounds stupid

    Good to see No-One at the Bridge here, definitely my favorite.

    I've never been a big fan of solos. They really have to hit me hard for me to even take notice, but big Al by far plays his with the most soul and emotion.

    1. No-One at the Bridge
    2. Limelight
    3. Kid Gloves
    4. La Villa
    5. Leave that thing Alone
    6. The Anarchist
    7. Cut to the Chase
    8. The Garden
    9. Clockwork Angels
    10. Analog Kid

    let me see here... oh this is a good one huh.gif

    What songs do we know so far???

    Confirmed 100%:
    Tom Sawyer
    2112
    The Spirit of Radio
    The Anarchist
    Carnies

    Pretty much guaranteed:
    YYZ
    Limelight
    Subdivisions
    Clockwork Angels
    Caravan
    BU2B
    The Wreckers
    Headlong Flight
    The Garden

    Very likely:
    La Villa Strangiato
    Freewill
    Xanadu (Probably not in full but it's been a while)
    Losing It (There are two violinists in the string quartet plus it's the 30th anniversary of Signals, I'd say it's a shoe-in)
    Far Cry (Only S&A song on setlist)

    I would really hate to see caravan and BU2B again

    I hear it on occasion. I also don't like the overuse of "that being said". It's redundant.

    and "ya think?"

    Nothing is worse than yolo or live. laugh. love.

    Novelization of CA? Taking CA to Broadway?? An orchestra to accompany the live shows? Seriously, the plot gets dumber with every tick of the clock. What kind of grandiose-thought-producing drug is Neil Peart on these days? Or is he simply "losing it"?

    Get ready for the incoming sh*t storm
