the whole excerpt read like a middle school novel. I don't mean written for middle schoolers, I mean written by middle schoolers.

 

He may be a good writer, I don't know, but the text I saw looks awful.

 

 

the most interesting thing I see here is what appears to be a completely revamped overhead lighting truss. I hope it moves!!!!

I found the writing style pedantic..

 

"But why not just think about your day? There's enough to do here in Barrel Arbor."

 

"That's too small. I can't stop thinking big."

 

 

I mean really, does he have to use those exact words in a quote? there are so many better ways to capture that feeling.

 

I can see Neil saying to KJA "Hey, don;t forget to say that he can;t stop thinking big!" KJA rolls his eyes. Really? Really?

 

i thought it came out the day before the show...

 

btw, following!

My "guess" is we'll hear strings on: The Anarchist Halo Effect The Wreckers The Garden Mission Losing It I'm surprised it's only 6 songs (approximately) as rumored by FOH. I was expecting at least a couple more.

Given that we're a week and a half away from opening night, I'm surprised that no one from inside or outside the camp has indicated how rehearsals are going. Alex spoke a while ago about really looking forward to how the strings would sound in rehearsal. I've also been wondering where the guys are rehearsing, as at this point, they'd have the full blown production/lighting etc going.....

Different Stages for me, because I love Neil's drum sound, the slower paced, more relaxed performances (particularly Freewill), and the fact that they did the whole of 2112, possibly for the last time.

exit stage left, because i was there and that they were at their peak. It's only too short...

I say 4. Just because. I love sports, but don't get hung up on the numbers like stat geeks. I really am not a fan of much Sci Fi - absolutely hate anything Star Trek. I do love my gadgets though... my ipod, my smart phone, etc etc. But I love my firearms and power tools just as much. I can fix the car, rewire the house and cut down a tree all in the same weekend.

336 hours!

How long do you usually run for? I do between 3 and 6 miles usually.

 

I love to run to CA because the BPM is pretty consistent and each song pushes me however my Foo Fighters playlist may soon be back in rotation.

 

I really love this album. But I usually only listen when I can hear the whole thing or the majority of it.

please rate me. I will not be complete unless I have your approval

 

Mission

 

Xanadu

 

Analog Kid

 

Edited for clarity: Looking for a composite score based on the above

I'm of the mind set that we'll see one more.

 

I anticipate something much softer and introspective that would be a fitting swan song for a 40th anniversary

.

 

thought I posted about this before

They will almost certainly play it. It has prominent strings, and it is the third single.

cant wait for this..... http://skymovies.sky.com/brand-new-trailer-for-skyfall

 

My lord this looks incredible...

 

Anyone read this book?

Freewill will show up second set, maybe as the encore.

 

I think I posted a few months ago that the opener will be one of the hits, a couple deep cuts will follow and then we'll get the majority of CA in order closing the first set with The Garden, which will be epic in each and every way possible. I cannot see them breaking up the album over two sets like they did with S&A.

 

I think Frewill makes and awesome closer with By-Tor and maybe working man. I don;t see LVS on the horizon unless its part of the main set

Do you do this to a live lobster?

 

Thanks for the stuffing recipe!

Since it looks like the orchestra is a done deal and the boys have said they will play songs that they haven't played in a long time I'm wondering if Losing It maybe included. I have always LOVED that song and it seems logical that they would give it a run with the orchestra in place. Also it's probably in a key that Geds comfortable singing in. It is one of my favorite songs in the catalog. Possible?

Check Signals Dog on the tour book? Check Song they've never played live before? Check   In fact I KNOW they'll play it, or my name isn't Alex Lifeson!

I love the song but the end of the song teases us at about 4:45 with what should be an up coming epic solo ala Mission and then nothing...the song fades out. Hopefully when they do this live Alex will jump up and pull an amazing solo out of his ass.

 

 

I heard Halo Effect on Sirius Deep Tracks yesterday. My boss (who picks the channel) is a musician, dislikes Geddy, but liked the song.
