I cannot believe that I made the mistake of having a ticket and actually going to the show in Lincoln, rather than following this thread at home. Just way, way too funny.

 

Bob, is that you hiding behind the name of Tom?

Led rush, a little rude don't you think? FOH Lights has proven that his sources over the years are reliable and accurate.

If there are three set lists, has anyone figured out yet which set which be played for each remaining show?

 

Lorraine, I contend (and hope) that it's random, that there isn't a set rotation.

And I'm wondering why I am having second thoughts about periscoping the NJ show.....

They wont play NS and JL back to back. Both songs are pretty long but I would love it

 

They might if they play YYZ in the 2nd slot which is shorter than Red Barch or TCE

Nice list.

 

I think we'll see Headlong Flight opening the show.

 

I thought of that. Maybe LaVilla replaces Cygnus. I just can't let go of the fact that since February, I've been thinking that the Trees and CTTH would swap in and out.

I think we continue the string of never before played or it's been 30 since we played songs CTTC. Since YYZ is shorter than RED batch or TCE, it allows them to use that time on Natural a Science instead of swapping JL for NS

I had noticed and commented in another thread that Alex has seemed very reserved. I had thought that maybe he was ill during the Tulsa show, having acted very workmanlike in comparison with his usual outgoing stage persona and it's continued in Lincoln. I did see some of the apparent problems that Geddy was having with his ear monitors, but I wasn't aware of any instrumental problems or cutouts (except for the occasional missed note). Could be just working out all the kinks that are common at the beginning of a tour.

 

BTW, I'd love to go through a thread that doesn't constantly segue into Periscope. It totally gummed up the Lincoln spoiler thread last night. Don't care about Bob or his girlfriend or if he's puking in the bathroom. Not being cranky but it would be great for a thread to not immediately veer off on some tangent and instead remain focused on the topic intended by the original poster.

This is the 1st time in HISTORY anyone is able to watch a concert live that they are not at. Do you not understand how cool that is??

If you do not like the technology, don't watch.

As for people commenting, the 1st show people called the filmer Santa, it's expected. Especially in here.

Busting balls is to be expected. Multiple people comment on the song title, then other things, it's a long night.

Lighten up Francis....

So

 

First if all - Bob is real as his girlfriend. Bob was the guy periscoping and his girlfriend, well depending on who comments here, was present at the concert. Let's leave it at that.

 

I am so blown away by periscope! The 67 year old in me thinks is can get boring and the constant lag is super annoying. The 27 year old in me is stoked that I can sit here in the northeast, in the comforts of my "evening attire" (moccasins included) and watch a live performance of my favorite band! Wicked!

 

As for the OP, I can only imagine (since I was only virtually there and watching in the distance when the camera wasn't on Bobs girlfriend) that the pounding of the head and the shouts to off stage was more of a "why aren't we playing more New Jersey/New York instead of this no where Hicksville" than anything.

 

Oh - and "Mooooooo".

Hey guys, I'm a die hard fan of 25 years who is going with some young first timers in MA on June 23rd (our usual group is bringing their children for their first show): Question is: What are the chances that "Limelight" and "YYZ" will enter the set list? I know we've seen them almost every tour, but these kids most likely will only have this chance to see them live and they are two of their favorites. Any educated guesses or info is greatly appreciated! Thank you

 

Atticus, I suggest you make a playlist of all the songs they perform and play it for the young listeners when you can; in the car, etc. it may help them become more familiar with the songs.

So we scrambled and found bob at the last minute last night. I thought maybe we could create a sign up sheet, hashtag a link to it on twitter, and get people to sign up to be the one to periscope it instead of praying we can find someone at the last minute (and prevent Tombstone M from selling his soul or offering "favors" to complete strangers).

 

So here are the dates for the remaining first leg. Sign up if you will be the sailor to periscope for us land lovers. Put your twitter name next to date by quoting this message and editing in your name. If there is more than one person for a date, maybe those people can work out a first half/second half to save their batteries.

 

Just an idea but maybe crazy enough to work.

These lines are becoming more commonplace:

 

"I'm not complaining but..."

 

"I'm happy with the setlist but..."

 

Amazing. We get Jacob's Ladder. Hemispheres Prelude. Cygnus. Lakeside Park. Anthem. What you're Doing. The Camera Eye.

 

I'm not happy but...

 

Unreal, right?

 

If u aren't happy with this set, you're a dou^*#bag, but...

Neither. I prefer it to be random. Mt show isn't until June 27. If by then I still don't know exactly what I'm going to see, that was be so awesome. I think they should just shake it up each night, within the chronological structure they already have established.

I'm a self proclaimed setlist making junkie. I made over 25 setlist predictions between January and May. It's fun, challenging, and intriguing. It's my crossword/sudoku/jigsaw puzzle fix.

 

In my wildest of imaginations, I never dreamed they would ever, ever, play How It Is. It's in my top 5 songs of the modern era. I thought I had a "must-see" in Jacob's Ladder, but now, well, the bar has been raised. What's next? Cut to The Chase?

Poor Bob is probably fighting off amorous advances from his cell mates just because he wanted to bring us all joy. We should build him a shrine. Or not.

 

Or we can simply find the next person for Tuesday's show....If we can find someone in Nebraska, we can find someone anywhere.

Can the person periscoping comment as well? If they can, then it should become protocol to text your battery life every once in a while. Like "down to 30%". Hey, it's a new tool so.....

I think the sets will randomly interchange on a show to show basis so no matter which show you go to, you won't know what songs you're getting

I need the periscope link

 

Link

Do people in Nebraska own smartphones?

 

It's called a roto dial, it always goes back to same spot so they know where to begin

I'm going through the twitter feed of #R40LNK and if I see someone who is there, I'm asking them to periscope.

I actually called a person at the show to get them to do the perriscope deal. He didn't answer. Anybody here help pay the phone tab?

 

You a crazy summabitch, TM. Like your style

I HAVE JUST GOT TO SEE HOW IT IS!!!!
