So that's now two members that have hinted at some sort of chronological order.

 

Perhaps we should give the Prelude / Fry Cry rumor a rest.

I also think any kind of R40 Overture is highly unlikely. It's not like Rush to repeat themselves. They will come up with a fresh approach.

 

Unless it's in the encore. If there is a chronological approach, then my guess the encore will be a reflection if all the different eras.

 

We have drum kit rumor which is reportedly for the 2nd set which one could conclude is for older songs. Cause and effect. If it's chronological and the 2nd set is older material then the 1st set would be newer. The encore would reflect the different eras. Maybe something like;

 

Hemispheres Prelude

Far Cry

In The Mood

Linelight

 

Something like that...

Is the interview available online anywhere?

 

Im trying to find out. I think I read on their site that it will be up today at some point.

Got my question answered!! woot)

Funny - those werey sons exact words. That and "dad spoke to the great beyond" whe laughing.

Isn't dtpoet one of ours?

 

That was me

He answered my question!

 

Dtpoet: "Sir, curious as the intricacies that go into finalizing a setlist and if there is a period of your music that you find yourself gravitating towards when you start the process. Thank you and have a good evening."

Got my question answered!! woot)

BTW - this rumor only pertains to Red Lenses and Kid Gloves. Who is to say that these will be the only representatives of P/G? PowerWindows had 4-5 songs last tour on any given night. Just sayin'.....

I think "of this magnitude" means just that. This tour is the last tour of this size that we're going to get. Even though it's only 35 dates, anything after it will be smaller or nothing at all.

I just copyrighted

"This Magnitude- Rush Live in Tulsa 2015"

So none of you Bootleggers get any ideas

 

I hope you are not talking about me because I've never made a bootleg.

 

That's not a mini recorder in my pants. I'm just really happy to be here....

 

Yeah it would look really odd in my pants.

 

In today's PC culture, you got it easy - non one would dare ask in fear of the wrong answer. Lol

This is the challenging part of setlist construction. Lol

The only issue is that it's a 3 hour show, not 3 hours of music. There's an intermission of at least 10-15 minutes. Then there's a few minutes of dead space before the encore. Add in a minute or so for Geddy to talk to the crowd.

 

Good set but I think you need to trim about 15-20 minutes of your songs.

If the 35 shows are it this is a Wussy Tour. "Our last big tour of this Magnitude", The Who are playing over 50 gigs, Scorpions have over 60 scheduled, Yes usually plays over 60 a year. There are many more examples than just these bands. Dont get me wrong I'm sure the concert will be Great just dont want to hear how this is a Huge tour. It's Not.

Is it possible that in this case, the word "huge" or phrase "of this magnitude", simply means something like, important or spectacular or amazing?

 

These days, very few older bands are playing with all original members, like Rush (IMO, Neil counts as an original member). Hell, I think Scorpions are on their 8th bass player and maybe their 11th drummer. I suppose if a band was able to keep replenishing their supply of musicians, as needed, they could tour indefinitely. But with just one or two original members, aren't they then just essentially, cover bands?

 

So, the fact that Rush is still touring with all original members, and able to perform at the level they do, despite the often merciless technicality of their music, to me, is pretty huge... as in, spectacular and amazing. :D

 

^^^^^agreed

Are people that desperate for information they'll believe anything someone posts?

 

he's obviously telling the truth, he even told us that he has a source! what more do you need?

 

I have to assume you're joking.

 

The truly funny part is that someone could post the real setlist, back it up with multiple sources, and still about 1 out of 20 would believe it to be true.

P/G was my first concert and the album thats solidified my rush fandom. Kid Gloves - all for it. Red Lenses - not a huge fan but I do like the beat.

FOH I'm sure you know how crazy the people on this board get when it comes to this band, you certainly have us more excited with your recent comments. Any chance you can give us a small tease about anything, for example will a certain classic prog classic segue into one of their most recent hits, lol. Or is whoever started that apparent rumour full of you know what...

 

Heheheh, sorry, I don't know who started "the rumor". Do you??

 

FOH - do you enjoy the teasing or do the questions become cumbersome?

One would think that by now, this close to opening night, the band must have some sort of prototype setlist. Right?

This far into rehearsals, the main set list has long been decided.

 

I would hope.

 

Now let the debate begin on what FOH means by "main". :)

This set is a joke right?

This means that their employees can be trusted to keep their mouths shut. :)

 

Haha, well that's basically true! This time has been more hush hush than ever, and definitely by design. What I can say is that the show itself will be incredible, with some never before seen effects, and just a whole bunch of what every LD/Pyro guy dreams of. Add to that the fact that the band sounds as tight and professional as ever, and this will be, IMO, the show of shows. Certainly, a very appropriate way for them to make their exit. Even if you have to beg, borrow, or steal (OK, maybe not steal), don't miss this one!

 

That being said, I'm more than pretty sure that some leaks/photos will be seen before too long... :D

 

Thanks FOH! Most know you are the go to person. It was VER tight before CA as well do I'm not expecting anything before the 8th - though I wants it very, very badly! Lol

Justin - I've been following the Newark show since presale. Prices have continued to climb on the secondary market. Are you looking for a seat at original retail price?

 

There's a Facebook page. I think it's called the Rush Ticket Exchange. It's designed for this; retail prices. Some people state they are buyer, some selling. Wouldn't hurt to post there.

^^^^NOW that's entertainment!!^^^^^.

 

(Insert popcorn eating emoticon that I don't have)

I don't want to see anything past Counterparts on this final tour. We've had the last 4 studio albums played to death in one form or another over the last 20 years.

 

If you're going to get THAT distinct...I don't want to hear anything past Power Windows on this tour....in fact, let's even pull it back to Grace Under Pressure since they played a bunch of Power Windows stuff LAST tour!

 

Let's keep it going. I mean, anything after Permanent Waves is just ridiculous since they played Moving Pictures in its entirety not that long ago. Besides, Tom Sawyer, YYZ, and Limelight ALWAYS get played every tour. Ugh.

You're forgiven. My guess is a places got inquiries as to availability but ultimately didn't make the cut.

 

CA was very tight lipped as well. The "80's renaissance" was not revealed until the first show.

 

Who could blame a leaker for not leaking. Someone could post the exact setlist and maybe 1 out of 10 would believe it. The bad outweighs the good I'm afraid.

I know. Lol! The really, really dumb part is that I was looking at The Rock for Imagine Dragons for my kids (who play 2 nights after Rush) and TM has the interactive map for them. Grr. However, I noticed with MSG that they even had the resales listed on the map where with I.D. they don't.

 

I'm sure they have some reason for doing it that way.

 

Well that's dumb. The Pru should have it as well.
