  1. QUOTE (metaldad @ Jun 4 2010, 09:53 PM) QUOTE (Score Out @ Jun 4 2010, 09:50 PM) Probably worth saying again that the "rumored" setlist is 100% *not* what was brought into rehearsals. There's certainly a fair amount of material on that setlist that is included in the actual set, but the published setlist is absolutely not based in any kind of fact. Save it. Really. You had your 15 min. Post something or Go away Wow. Was that uncalled for. Ya know, if someone spoke to me like that in person without any provocation I'd put them through a wall - but I guess it's easy to act like an asshole when you're protected by a computer screen. In any event, you'll get your wish. The venom on this board from some people is vile and it's certainly not a community I have any desire to be a part of. There's 2 or 3 people here with rock-solid information and connections to the Rush camp and, despite the fact that none of them have ever posted a single piece of incorrect information over many months to disprove that, the peanut gallery is practically foaming at the mouth to tear them down. It's pretty sad really. I'm not aware of any awards or prizes for being proven correct in the end and there's been no reward in contributing whatever information and value that I have and that I am able to, so that type of environment is certainly not appealing to me. On a final note, the comments are me "covering my bases" and backtracking with regard to the setlist are truly comical. Some of you need to USE YOUR BRAINS!!! There have already been about 13 songs made public from the setlist (7 from MP, CTTH, JL, MalNar, SIO, Caravan, BU2B). The setlist is about 28 songs. You throw in some obvious ones like Spirit of Radio and Far Cry and the Drum Solo and 2 more staples and you're at 18. The "rumored" setlist has like 36 songs in it. I suspect even some of you can nail 5 to 8 more songs that appear in the show with 18 guesses. Hardly rocket science. The order on the rumored setlist is also way off even among the songs that are correct. So is the rotation element. There will likely be a few changes from the initial setlist designed in March, but there aren't wholesale changes among the songs and especially among the order. Certain songs are production songs with lights, lasers, pyro, video, effects etc. Those are designed based around specific points in the show and especially 1st and 2nd set (light vs dark) so those don't just get completely tossed around 4 weeks before the tour starts. So obviously, with half the show already known, and about 7 or 8 extra songs on the list, the rumored setlist contains most of the songs in the show. But with a few songs missing and many included that aren't in the show, along with a completely incorrect order, and a totally wrong guess on the rotation, it's still not close to accurate. Bottom line is that I have the actual real setlist they designed to bring into rehearsals and to give to the production team for lights, videos etc. The rumored list isn't it and isn't close. But clearly I'm just guessing so feel free to discount this and keep believing wrong information. Happy National Yo-Yo Day everyone.

  3. Unless they seriously tore up the setlist they designed a couple months ago and brought into rehearsals and suddenly rearranged everything on Day 1 (which would all the production people pretty upset I suspect) this isn't close to accurate.
  4. QUOTE (GeddyLeeRoth @ May 18 2010, 03:00 AM) Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Tom Sawyer, Spirit Of Radio, and maybe Limelight are the three songs Rush has never dropped from their set since those songs' inceptions. This being said, I only think Tom Sawyer is the one true 'must play'. It's Rush's definitive song. And I must admit I never tire of it like I do some other radio staples. Tom Sawyer has never been dropped but the other two have. Spirit was dropped for part of the Presto tour and Limelight has been dropped several times (surprisingly) since its release.
  5. QUOTE (metaldad @ May 17 2010, 12:20 PM) Did i read this right? 5 S&A songs ? You have to be F-n kidding me Unfortunately not. 5 or 6.
  6. QUOTE (BrightAntennae @ May 15 2010, 06:41 PM) Hopefully not too many VT songs???? Nope. Only one in the setlist that I've seen. I've left myself a couple of surprises so I can't swear there isn't a second song but that would be the most and odds are it's just one.
  7. QUOTE (EveryNerveAware @ May 15 2010, 06:18 PM) My prediction is Working Man. If they go chronologically that would make the most sense. That was the first song that received airplay in the US and started their extensive touring. The song is powerful, a very well recognized hit and seems appropriate since the boys have been "Working Men" their entire careers. The show isn't going chronologically or any gimmick like that. Thankfully. Would make for a pretty weak 2nd set and encore...
  8. Probably a decent shot of hitting Europe as part of the 2011 tour.
  9. QUOTE (losingit2k @ May 13 2010, 09:55 PM) Must Plays: Tom Sawyer Limelight Spirit of the Radio Freewill Freewill actually hasn't been played all that much over the years. Not played on R30, half of Vapor Trails, Counterparts, Hold Your Fire, Power Windows, or Grace Under Pressure.

Maybe One Little Victory? Keep in mind that songs like Far Cry & One Little Victory are pyro/visual songs and those natural come later in the show once its dark.
  11. QUOTE (Solitudeix @ May 13 2010, 08:12 PM) QUOTE (Score Out @ May 13 2010, 08:01 PM) a couple of "why do they keep playing this?" songs RTB... Thank god no - it's not in there!

At least as of the set that's being brought into rehearsals. The R30 medley was conceived pretty late in the game so a late change is always possible. Thanks for the info.... I'm most interested in the new songs. Have you heard any of them? If so, how do they seem?! No I haven't. I'm as curious as anyone. If anyone has a copy, please forward it along! All I've heard is one review from someone who has heard them who said Caravan is a very strong song and really rocks. Are these the same people that think S&A is a great album ? Actually, no... This is someone who is definitely more a fan of older material than newer material for whatever that's worth. So...being a fan of the older stuff...does that mean you are satisfied with the setlist as you know it? I'm never satisfied with the setlist! And the lack of rotation kills me. That said, I've left myself a couple of surprises still, but knowing most of it I'd say it's a strong setlist for Rush. There's a good mix of hits and some nice rare stuff (several of which are now public knowledge). It's far from B-Sides or all old material though so you have to go in being realistic. I'd say it's pretty similar to last tour's setlist in its structure in that there's a bunch of hits, a fair amount of new material (meaning the 2 new songs + about 5 snakes songs), a couple of "why do they keep playing this?" songs, and a half dozen or so songs that haven't been played in many years. I'd say it's a slightly better setlist than last tour but it's definitely not heavy on 70s material - especially after you get past the obvious songs.
  13. QUOTE (Weatherman2112 @ May 13 2010, 05:15 PM) a band that hasn't put out any truly relevent music in more than a decade, maybe 2 decades, trying to cash in on past glory, an old album. This would seem to pretty adequately describe BOTH tours, don't ya think?
  14. At this point the only MUST PLAY's in Rush's catalog are Tom Sawyer, Spirit of Radio and probably Limelight. Limelight has been cut on a number of tours in the past but I think it's been elevated into a concert staples at this point and given the limited number of tours left in their career I can't see them ever dropping it. YYZ would be the next closest to a must-play but mostly because there are always going to be 2-3 instrumentals sprinkled throughout the set.
