Let the rumor mill begin. I heard................
dwtime replied to LocalsBandGuy's topic in R40 Tour Forum
They have AFWTK pretty much covered with 'Xanadu' and 'Cygnus', so as much as I think CTTH is a great Rush staple my only 2nd set tweak would be to replace that with another song from Signals like 'Chemistry' or go all in and rip through 'Countdown' taking all that background NASA noise out. -

Good assessment, I agree on the songs from the 1st setlist could use some tweaking 5 new songs from the last two tours isn't needed, not much tweaking needed from the 2nd though no changes and I would be fine. I do like the newer songs a lot and never have seen them live so I'm not complaining much if it stands as it is. If I had my choice though I'd replace OLV with 'Earthshine' from Vapor Trails, Would love to hear them do songs from every album. If they played one from Presto it would be nice if they went deep to a track they haven't played live like 'Chain Lightning' with its quirky guitar solo or 'Anagram' with the great drum rolls. Also playing a deeper cut from HYF like 'Prime Mover' or 'Lock and Key' because Force 10 and Time Stands Still have been played a lot live over the years. -
Look at the grin Neil gives Geddy around 1:06, are we having fun or what?

Official R40 Setlist Poll--Expectations met?
dwtime replied to Tombstone Mountain's topic in R40 Tour Forum
Longtime big time Rush fan here but new to this board. First became a fan in 1976 when my neighbor played me ATWAS and I was permanently hooked. I'm like the 'Prodigal Son' when it comes to seeing Rush live though, I first saw them on the AFWTK Tour, Hemispheres next, couldn't see the PW tour (was in college in an area they didn't play) but saw the MP Tour which (yes I confess) was my last till next month when I see them in Columbus Ohio. Lots of reasons why I haven't seen Rush live in over 30 years, most of them bad reasons but I'm finally back! Looking forward to seeing the show, caught bits and pieces last night which was amazing, I forced myself to keep turning it off so it wouldn't spoil my excitement about seeing them perform these songs next month. My take on the setlist is that it is great, wonderful amazing etc. I'm looking forward to hearing songs live I haven't seen played live and seeing some old friends like Xanadu as well (never have seen them 'not' do this as a full song with the double necks) What I would do though if I had my druthers would be to pare down the first 5 songs of the set from the latest two albums to two, one from each of those albums. If they did that they could include a song each from TFE, Presto, HYF and Power Windows and have this show cover their whole studio catalog. That's my take but I'm very happy with it as it is. -

Once Geddy pulled out the double neck Bass you knew it had to be the whole song, got to have the double guitar jam at the end! -

What is the best venue you have seem them at?
dwtime replied to NaturalScientist75's topic in On The Lighted Stage
For me it was the Orpheum Theater Boston Mass March 10, 1978 AFWTK Tour, 2700 seat theater and the balcony is right on top of the stage. We were about 4-5 rows back in the balcony, being that close during songs like Xanadu and 2112 was amazing.
