Songs I haven`t seen: Jacob`s Ladder Cut To The Chase Middletown Dreams Cygnus X-1 Chain Lightning

As "Clockwork Angels" is supposed to be a concept album , it wouldn`t surprise me if they played the whole album in full on the next tour. There was also talk of them playing the entire "Snakes & Arrows" album on that tour , so I`m sure that`s something they certainly will consider. My take on the setlist for the "Clockwork Angels" tour: Set 1: Clockwork Angels (the album) Set 2: 1.Intro 2.Test For Echo 3.Limelight 4.Cut To The Chase 5.Vapor Trail 6.Bravado 7.Middletown Dreams 8.Jacob`s Ladder 9.The Rhythm Method 10.Alex Lifeson acoustic intro 11.A Farewell To Kings 12.2112 Overture/Temples Of Syrinx/Grand Finale 13.The Spirit Of Radio 14.Tom Sawyer Encore: 1.Far Cry 2.YYZ 3.Subdivisions

I think "A Farewell To Kings" is a better album than "2112". No doubt!

The omission of "Jacob`s Ladder" was to me the biggest disappointment with the "Time Machine" tour. As great it was to see stuff like "Presto" and "The Camera Eye" played, I really hope to see "Jacob`s Ladder" on a setlist in the future!

Probably Moving Pictures , although Counterparts is excellent sonically as well!

The ending of "The Camera Eye" was amazing! Geddy really looks fired up during the "yeah , Cleveland" part followed by him mouthing of the sampled "yeah , baby" voice ... Brilliant!

Cut to The Case , Middletown Dreams & Chain Lightning would be amazing!

"Workin`Them Angels" for me. Something cool from the past ("Jacob`s Ladder" , "Middletown Dreams" ) instead would have been great!

The one song I really would change in the set was "Workin`Them Angels". If they had played something cool from the past instead ("Jacob`s Ladder"!!) , I wouldn`t have complained at all.

I`m pretty sure Neil writes in one of his books that Alex always visits the coffee shops whenever they are in Holland...

One of the main reason for ranking Rush as my all time favorite band , is because of their strong cataloge. I do like most of what they have put out on record. I don`t consider any of their studio records bad. Just for fun , I once burnt a cd I called "The worst of Rush". And all in all , even that cd sounded pretty good! That`s how much I like Rush!
