Yes. Territories did it for me... I used to skip it every so often if it came up on shuffle, but seeing it live completely changed it for me. I've neglected that album, but no longer! -
Clockwork Angels Tour Setlist

No complaints! Power Windows is not up there with my favourite albums, but I'm just happy to see songs on there I haven't seen live before. Can't wait for the CA-heavy second set, either, though I expected 7CoG over Wish Them Well. Despite the long run it has had, I do also miss NatSci but that may be just because it's my favourite song and I'm biased... -
I can't say it really surprises me but this is great news! Can't wait.

Sweet!

Probably 6 full runs of the whole album, up to a top play of 37 for The Wreckers (not counting on my iPod and through the DVD player).

Thank you for sharing! I really enjoyed reading your summary.
-
This song didn't click with me the first couple of times I listened, but now it's probably my favourite after The Wreckers. Such great lyrics and melody.
-
Still The Wreckers, but The Anarchist has snuck up pretty close...
-
The Wreckers and The Anarchist.
-
Kid Gloves, Prime Mover, Available Light, A Farewell to Kings, Chemistry... though I'm not picky about anything I haven't heard live yet.
-
The Wreckers would be the natural choice.

I'm likely biased because I played classical flute for years (so I am excited just thinking about a couple of string players on set for the CA stuff...), but I think there may be a bit of overreaction here... a few string players contributing to a few songs does not mean Rush is going to show up with an orchestra. We'd likely be talking a violin or two, a viola, and a cello, likely only for the set involving the CA songs recorded with strings. I don't see how it makes it any less of a rock concert; is CA any less of a rock album for having strings on it? I respect that some people woud rather have samples than a live string section, but to say that samples would sound better or that you didn't buy tickets to see Rush + "some string players" because Rush is the trio and that then it wouldn't truly be Rush is a bit silly... The fact is that other musicians did contribute to the record, it's not like the parts were added with GarageBand and they decided to hire some musicians after the fact to play the parts live because they're too lazy to use samples... I'm all in favour of it. Rush has always struck me as a classy band and as far as I'm concerned you can't beat live strings (at least over sampled ones) in terms of class!

Definitely exceeded!

VT, S&A, CA for me.

The Wreckers, closely followed by The Garden, but the title track is really growing on me...
