I just gonna say one more thing. The set......if true.......even though they said deep cuts. Indicates that they realized Ged hit a wall vocally. and they.....rightly don't want to.......kill him, lol

 

Mick

 

Dear Lord. They ALL have a hit a wall of some kind. It's as much about Neil's ailments as it is Geddy's voice. It's about Alex's limitations. They are all limited to some degree.

 

Just enjoy it. I really don't understand what more people expected. This is only part of the list. Wait until after Sunday's show...

Fun to speculate, better to be on 22nd row in Austin!!!

I realize I don't have drum solos listed and in R30 tour there were 3!!! So............ that will alter this. Have fun if you're attending and crucify me if you don't agree. Matters not to me.

I had fun doing it and will have more fun at the May 16 show in Austin!!!

"No changes are permanent. But change is."

 

Um...I take it you didn't read the spoilers....

Oh people. Just give in to the dark side.

 

Coincidence the tour book info leaked on Star Wars Day? Many faced the dark side. Many lost. My breathing got a little raspier the moment I clicked to open....

I was mildly optimistic for Cut to the Chase. I was really optimistic for Xanadu. But other than that the list that's out is ok with me.

 

I think you still get xanadu

I think there are more gems coming.

 

Between the prelude/Cygnus medley and 2112 there's something called "Ask Al". That begs of an acoustic solo. I predict that the acoustic solo will lead to The Trees and Xanadu.

 

Now, usually an acoustic solo is preceded by a drum solo. So after the Prelude/Cygnus medley, I think we get LaVilla.

 

So here's how I have the 2nd set;

 

SET 2

1. Tom Sawyer

2. Red Barchetta ~ YYZ

3. The Camera Eye

4. Spirit of Radio ~ Natural Science ~ Closer To The Heart

5. Jacob's Ladder

(Alex Solo - "Ask Al")

8. The Trees

9. Xanadu

10. 2112

To me, this is as good as I can reasonably expect. We'll find out for sure on Friday.

I'm a spoiler junky....

Peeps on both sides of the setlist debate gotta chill a bit until Friday at earliest and really Sunday TBH.

As somebody astutely pointed out earlier there are many songs on the list we've seen that are similar lengths so they could easily be rotated.

There's no guarantee anybody will see JL and TCE on the same night (or any other combinations of songs you can think of)

 

By this time Friday night the first show will be wrapping up and we'll be able to have a much better feel for where the band is taking this tour.

 

Great point. Especially those longer songs... they may rotate them so each audience gets x amount of "old proggy goodness" :) Works for me.

 

Or "crap, they aren't playing (insert songs) at the Newark show so I will contemplate getting a ticket to the Philly or MSG show where they will be playing those songs."

Not an expert on tour books, I have perused a few and I don't recall ever seeing a set list in one. Pictures are usually from previous tours. I'm skeptical on this one.

 

Did you see my posts on both the CA tour and TM tour? For the most part, it's at least a majority of the setlist. It even has the videos for opening, intermission, and end.

 

Now on CA, one or two of the songs were out if order (last minute setlist change?). For TM, they were right down the line.

Ok - so for the most part, the list is in order. I'm curious about one part in particular. In between Prelude/Cygnus and 2112, there's a segment called "Ask Al". Is that the acoustic instrumental section? If it is in order, I'd be interested to know what he would be playing here. Is this a segment leading up to The Trees? Will it be a medley of older, softer music? Something new?

 

Now - another thought is that it's a video between the second set and the encore (yes, this would make 2112 part of if not the encore).

 

Thoughts?

For the first 10 seconds, I was like "meh". As I kept reading, I became more excited. I start thinking, " what more could I expect?"

 

I don't get some of these people. I mean, there are "deep cuts" and then there are "amputations".

Fun fact:

 

Both TMT and CA had the main drum solo listed as a separate "song" in the tour book credits.

 

I did not see one in the R40 credits....

ADDITIONAL NOTE:

Spirit of Radio and Limelight were later added (not listed)

Camera eye and Jacob's ladder are about the same length. Just sayin'.

 

Ok - if you buy the combinations (which I do because it makes sense), then we are looking at 18 slots ONLY IF none of these songs are alternates. Slots can be defined as "when a song begins and music is played continuously until the music ends". Forget the number of songs.

 

So if none are alternates, we have 18. Most likely, some are, so we are looking at 14-16 slots.

 

CA broke down as follows;

Set 1 = 10 slots

Set 2 = 13 slots

Encore = 2 slots

Total = 25 slots

 

Alex said on the Renman interview that they were cutting back. So best case, 23 slots. Worse case 20 slots.

 

So - if we have 14-16 slots leaked AND they are filling 20-23 slots a night, we are looking at 4-9 slots NOT leaked.

 

We have 22 songs leaked. Alex said around 35 prepared. Somewhere in the middle is the correct number of songs.

I've been reading. I don't have the Tour book. All I know is that Snaked has been a reliable source for some time now. He is NOT just some run-of-the-mill fan.

 

This list doesn't surprise me. Naturally most of it's going to be post Moving Pictures. I'm not surprised that CA is getting additional love. I think the band really like these songs. I'm fine with them being selfish. It's their band.

 

In a recent interview, Alex referenced 35 songs. Even if he exaggerated, you can still count on at least 30 probably being on the comprehensive setlist.

 

Alex also said the show would be shorter. Take that comment that plus his "35 song" statement", it can only lead to one of two things; shorter versions of songs or songs blended together.

 

Someone earlier posted that you shouldn't read too much into the "/" because it just means that they were directed by the same person. I don't think that is accurate because the SOR/NS/CTTH director is that same as the The Anarchist.

Free Will and Natural Science are dark horses? :)

 

 

Separately - no

As a medley - yes

 

:)

Prelude into Far Cry

Got my VIP itinerary today. It says I'll receive my laminate upon check in at the venue. All other VIP merch to arrive in the mail. I'm really gonna try not to peak for the setlist in the toubook. It's gonna be tough, but I think I can do it. Anyone wanna be my sponsor? Someone I can call in moments of weakness who can talk me down?

 

Here's what you do -

 

You open the tour book and carefully turn to the credits section. You take a picture without reading or looking at the picture. You then go on to this site and very carefully PM the picture ONLY YO ME. Trust me, you will feel so much better when you do this. :)
