Snaked

I am going to spend the night somewhere.

 

 

What's her name? :P

Paul Rudd and Jason Siegel from I Love You Man

The Trailer Park Boys

Les Claypool from Primus was the pig-mask dude.

Tom Morello

Peter Dinklege

Then the dude in the basketball shirt.. not 100% sure who that was.

There is another dude with sunglasses holding 2 cards (a pair of kings) that I can't place as well.

I just spent almost two hours reading from when I left this thread last night.

 

I'm speechless.

 

I hate to sound like Fraroc, but if I don't get myself to a concert, I think I will do myself in.

 

Even thought I couldn't benefit from Periscope, a huge thank you to the person who went to all of that trouble just so we all could be a part of such a momentous night.

 

I ran out of likes on page 58 of this thread. Some of your posts were very amusing.

 

I still can't believe they did Xanadu. THE WHOLE THING!!!!!

 

It was absolutely amazing. I didn't get to sleep last night or this morning until almost 4 because I was so wired up from the concert. That was almost as exciting as being there. Great fun sharing the experience with everyone.

 

I couldn't go to sleep until 4am. I was just too amped up after that show. It was something very special!

I can't wait to get home and actually post a full trip report/review.

 

 

Can I just say that I am still on a very emotional high after last night.

 

It was simply amazing!

Based on the set list last night, there's only about 5 song choices that even the most critical 'fan' would complain about.

 

If Setlist B is strong as well, I'm seriously gonna add more shows even if they're cheap seats.

 

Truly a masterpiece last nite

 

I woke up this morning shaken, and trembling in Tears

 

Many thanks to Russell and Lucas for streaming on periscope.

 

Only fear is Jacob being rotated out, let's hope not.

 

Oh how the story changes after we see the actual set list.

 

I think somebody said something like that....

Hi!

Excitement so thick!

 

Downtown Tulsa is abuzz!!!

Snaked, I'm going to move this post into the existing pinned setlist thread, which I'll be opening up in a bit.

 

Awesome!

I will be live tweeting from the show tonight. You can follow @rush_roadtrips if you want a song by song account as the show happens.

I will also have a Snapchat feed going at R40Live

 

I have also arranged to have a backup ready to post in case WiFi/4G sucks in the arena. So even if I can't post to twitter I will be able to text and the songs will be posted to that feed very quickly.

 

I hope everyone enjoys opening night... Even if you can't be here in person.

 

 

See you live from inside the arena in about 8 hours ;)

I've been looking for Arrowsmith to post something but as far as I can tell he hasn't.

I'm going with LTTA simply because I think it's a far superior song.

But I won't be surprised if they go with Limbo just because LTTA has been played a LOT over the years.

 

 

Who knows... maybe they'll surprise us all and go with MalNar... which wouldn't suck.

If I remember correctly they updated the RSBC website either the day of the first show for CA or maybe the day before.

So perhaps tomorrow but I'd guess it'll be at some point on Friday.

In the Mood- No chance. IMO

 

Why not?

If they're thinking chronological then ITM makes perfect sense since it was their closing song for many years.

 

The answer to that ? Is if you think 2112 closed the 2nd set or is the encore

 

Betcha 16 cents that 2112 closes the 2nd set ;)

Over/Under number of instrumentals played: 4

 

 

I might take this bet... but you'd have to clarify what makes an instrumental.

Is it a song that was originally an instrumental *or* can it be a song that they play the first half of, which happens to be all instrumental and slide to the next song before picking up the vocals?

 

Details my friend!

Details!!!

I guess if you know the setlist, then some bets would be easy

 

Then I'll go OVER on the instrumentals and bet *YOUR* house :P

Now that everyone likely has had a gander at the tour book spoilers, what are your thoughts about some of the notable songs that weren't included?

 

The big ones to me are Xanadu, Limelight, Freewill, La Villa Strangiato, The Trees, Working Man and In the Mood.

 

Of these which do you think are most likely to be included this tour? I added a poll on this topic.

 

Any others you were surprised weren't included on the tour book spoiler?

 

Well considering the tubular bells are shown in that picture of Neil from the tour book, I would say it would have to be Xanadu.

 

He could have them for CTTH.

Although I would agree Xanadu is very likely.

Aaaaand the bitchfest continues!

The band, which hails from Canada, formed in the late 1960s but made several personnel changes before rolling its current lineup out with 1974’s self-titled debut album.

 

 

ETA: We should email blast this guy over the error. Assault of the RUSH-Nerd Alliance. :D

 

Be nice. It's a decent article with one error.

Pfft.

More proof that some people are only happy when they're miserable.

Y'all don't even know what the complete setlist is or how songs may be rotated on a nightly basis and already you've come to a rock solid conclusion in regards to your opinion of this show.

 

Why don'cha wait a whopping 72 hours before you pass judgement on something that hasn't even been fully revealed.

wow... just....

This thread is proof that some people are only happy when they're miserable.

Don't hurt yourself financially for 1 show.

Y'all are whack.

I tried to tell peeps that they put 'Moist' in the can and decided to go back and finish off Critical Mass but nobody believed me...

 

 

...well, you will... you will!!!!
