I think Body Electric is probably the worst Rush song ever. It sounded so dated and boring. I would have rather heard Middletown Dreams, which is its new replacement. I hope next summer we get a setlist with some BALLS!
  2. QUOTE (LotusLand @ Sep 9 2012, 08:17 PM) Before all of the Rush fans get stupid and everything, let me explain. I have been to nearly 60 shows, and I will be at 3-4 more this year as well. I am the fan that likes it all they have produced......I am the guy who takes several days of vacation and sees 5-6 shows a tour. I am the guy who loves everyting about Rush and ALL periods. This is a lazy setlist. Period. It is not that they are not good songs, IT IS WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN. The greatest band of all time brings in strings, and jumps the shark in my opinion, and does not play Losing It? Whether you like the song or not, it is set up on a tee for a home run. Red Sector A, Bravado, Big Money, Force 10, I'm sorry these are has been songs that have been played soooooo many times. Quite frankly, there are not very difficult to play as well. That is why I say a lazy setlist. This is a setlist that has no courage. Playing songs they have sooo many times in the past that are easy to play. We have not even mentioned that Territories and Manhatten Project have been played NUMEOUS times. I'm sorry, Territories is just a bad concert song. Now throw in Dreamline and The Pass? All we are missing is Roll The Bones again. Come on Rush.....Lazy. Again, it is not that there are not great songs. I know, they have to the right to play what they want. I know, don't go if you don't like it.....I have heard it all. I will be there. They really missed this one. They could have had this setlist by the balls. What could have been is why you have so many people pissed. I am not even counting the old staples. So much to pick from, so many songs that could have been "in your face" and we get, Big Money, Force 10, Bravado, Red Sector A, and a few other has beens. NO COURAGE IN THESE SELECTIONS. Clockwork Angels is a terrific effort. If it was in 1982, we would've have been talking about it like Moving Pictures. Halo effect and The Garden are not concert songs for a band like Rush. This setlist just dissapoints in so many ways. Not the quality of the song, but what could've been. Yes, I will be there. Yes, I have spent 1,500 on tickets for 3 shows already. ps Grand Designs is very good in concert. Analog Kid has tons of energy. I think the show in Manchester ended prematurely, apparently they were supposed to finish with Temples of Syrinx. I do feel kind of Gypped. The show was great, but I agree they shied away from more challenging material. The crowd was fairly lame as well. I think some heavier tunes (animate, malignant narcissism, natural science, cygnus) during the second set would have really livened things up. Most new (young) Rush fans fall in love with the early, heavier stuff and I'm sure they felt let down. That being said I still enjoyed the hell out of seeing the opening night of the tour.
  3. I can understand people being disappointed by the lack of Heavier tunes. Trust me that most of you will love the string ensemble, especially during yyz and grand designs. Omitting any songs up to Permanent Waves was a bit of a bummer. The song selections really surprised me. I could definitely live without Working Man and The Body Electric.
