If someone wants less CA and more older stuff, they should be able to express that without being called retards. You know how many people still go to Rush shows that havent bought a Rush album in decades? A LOT. When I went to the S&A tour almost NOONE around me knew any of the new songs and PNC in NJ was absolutely dead during the first part of that 2nd set when they played all those songs in a row.
This isnt really the 70s or 80s anymore where everyone at Rush shows was buying their albums and wanted to hear all the new stuff. Sure, complaining about Rush playing new material is pointless, but the fact is they do have a crap load of fans that dont buy their albums anymore, or dont love them anyway, so you just have to live with it. Complaining about it here and insulting them accomplishes nothing.
You call yourself "A Fan" yet, you haven't bought a new rush album in decades ? Perhaps if you bought a few of the new releases, you would know the songs they were playing. My first rush album was "Caress Of Steel" (A new release at the the time, mind you) and it is still one of my favorites today, yet to go see them, and expect them to play stuff off that album is unrealistic ! Rush are not the same band today, that they were in the 70's. The music has evolved, and with 20 albums to their credit, it's impossible to play stuff from every release ! I thought the set list was great, I thought the show was great, and I was actually happy to not hear Limelight, 2112,and a few of the others that have been played to death !! Now if they would only give Tom Sawyer, Subdivisions, and Spirit of Radio a well deserved rest .........
