Syrinx Priest

I am older and love knowing the setlist. Shit, I created a playlist on my ipod that has the whole show in order to get ready.

I just landed 2 seat in Section A - Row 4. I just sold my seats in Section 108 on stubhub

Wreckers over CA Can never get enough of TCE (seen RB and YYZ live numerous times, TCE once) Ans while I love some Natural Science, have seen that live a bunch BTW - DEW is a basically a wash. Getting a never played song How It Is (which i really like) -- just solidifies it. Set list B is the one for me and it looks like I will be getting it in Greensboro

To be honest I cannot even think of the last time I actually listened to any of the tracks studio version and I listen to some Rush almost every day. So, no I could care less if they played any of it. T4E - is a forgettable album plain and simple.

It appears last nights set had the identical song as opening night. Why the change in the opener? CA to The Anarchist. Also I would have expected a little difference in the first set between the A and C one. Is it that the CA is not in the "B" set, and The Anarchist is in all 3 and they want to open with the same song every night. Personally, I like CA better as an opener, but if it a true A, B, C rotation - I will get set B in Greensboro anyway and no CA.

AFTK - Not Solid? Hemispheres Not Solid? Roll the Bones - Almost Solid? Power Windows - Solid? Lost credibility with those.

Being that the setlist is 100% in reverse chronological order any substitution would either have to be from the same album or the previous/next based on where in the setlist it is. Albums with 3 songs won't have the middle one swapped with a previous/next album (The Anarchist, Closer to the Heart) so I disagree with the quote on CTH, but otherwise most of the rest makes sense I can see - Roll the Bones (with something from Presto)

Anthem Something for Nothing

Something is rotten in Denmark. Where the F is Steve Howe on that list?

You still have made a choice.

Being that I cannot even count the number of fantastic live shows I have seem in that time frame. That would mean no R30 tour, VT tour, S&A tour just to name a few. HELL NO!

While I think the total body of work (Album) of Hemispheres is way better. Just comparing side 1 - 2112 is the better of the 2, albeit they are both incredible. Kind of like a hot girl asking you which sexual position you would prefer to do it with her.

Saw Porcupine Tree in a tiny club in Raleigh shortly after Fear of a Blank Planet came out. Really excellent show! Most bands that have been mentioned I have seen. The Three I would seriously not miss if happened. Yes - with JA Genesis -- would love a chance to see them one more time, Abacab tour was one of the best shows I have been at. Pink Floyd - I would pay to see again if Gilmour and Waters reunited

Fixed that for you. ;) Sorry but that was broken, not fixed. After Counterparts finally gets the f**k out of here, the rest of the votes are gonna start stinging a little. Fixed that for you.

I will play HYF - Tai Shan Presto - Superconductor, Anagram RTB - Neurotica CP - Speed of Love, Cold Fire T4E - Color of Right, Carve Away the Stone VT - Sweet Miracle, Nocturne, Out of the Cradle, The Stars Look Down SA - Spindrift, We Hold on, Bravest Face, TMMB CA - Carnies, Seven Cities, BU2B2 (now it gets tougher) -- BU2B, Wish Them Well

I really cant fathom how anybody can like Counterparts more than Presto or Snakes. Counterparts should have been gone rounds ago.

To digress back to the Witch Hunt debate -- absolutely phenomenal lyrics, my personal fave off of MP with The Camera Eye. Limelight is the true weak spot on the album.

I will keep voting Counterparts until it goes.

Lessons. And it is not even close.

Gut Feeling is probably nothing more than some instrumental parts of a medley at most. I would love "In the End"

Biggest surprise to me on what I thought Geddy would say is how low Signals is and how high 2112 is. My List: 1) Hemispheres 2) AFTK 3) Moving Pictures 4) Permanent Waves 5) Signals --- Been really into this one lately, so it has a recent listening bump 6) 2112 --- IMO always been a one sided album. Side one is a masterpiece, Lessons is the only song on side 2 I truly love. 7) Caress of Steel 8) Fly by Night 9) Rush

1) The Camera Eye 2) Witch Hunt 3) YYZ 4) Tom Sawyer 5) Red Barchetta 6) Vital Signs 7) Limelight

I was totally into Yes and my brother was a Rush fanatic. Somehow, someway the sibling rivalry gave out and we both began to appreciate them both. Although it was about the time of PeW, the album that really kicked me off was AFTK. I would sneak into his room and borrow his album and blast the title track and Xanadu through my headphones.
