I was in the second row in front of Geddy and I was physically exhausted by shows end from the excitement and how hard the show ROCKED!!!! What a fantastic show! The energy was unbelievable! My head has been swarming with the images and music for two days! PS It was hilarious when Geddy dismissed the strings ensemble by saying something to the effect of we will say "A farewell to strings"

I just saw the show on 9/18 in Detroit (actually Auburn Hills) and was blown away! Couldn't be happier with the set list even minus "Seven Cities of Gold". Helped I was in the second row in front of Geddy!!!!

But a overhaul is not even a remote possibility. I think next year we will get a slight revamp but a lot of the same core of this AMAZING set list. They already played R-30 and the TM tour. Time for the mid 80's classics for that segment of their fan base. Cool thing is....I love all their periods. It's all good to me. Agree 100%

Clockwork Angels (5) 3.416666667 stars to Snakes & Arrows (6) 3.307692308 stars I like both, a lot!!!

7.5 For me Far Cry is one of their all time best songs. So is Working Them Angels. As I reckon it the album is #6 on my list.

I've not cooled on it at all. I listen to it once or twice a day. I always have one of the songs stuck in my head. I'm listening to Seven Cities of Gold as I type and that song ROCKS!!!! This is easily in my top 7 albums and may crack the top five.

Couldn't find a mention of this in a search...the clock on the album cover reads 9:12 which is 21:12 on a 24 hour clock. Thought that was really cool nod to the album that really launched them.

After listen to the entire album twice (it was a Fathers Day present along with a VIP package ) it came down to "The Anarchist" and "Seven Cities of Gold". After very careful scientific experimentation and putting the songs throught their paces (eenie-meenie-miny-moe) I voted "Seven Cities of Gold"

Tough decision, went with Analog Kid by the thinnest hairs over Subdivisions and New World Man.

I think Alex should be higher too, but, wasn't the list derived from the votes of other guitar players. Alex himself voted, as someone else said. I realize Rolling Stone is no friend to but I really don't see how they can be blamed when the list was a vote of guitar players.

Glad that wasn't an add for "Hanes"

oops.... Did anyone else know that Neil is a master of disguise? A secret agent perhaps?

QUOTE (analog guy @ Nov 21 2011, 02:20 AM) Records in general, not just Rush records, are too long. I actually miss the limitations of vinyl... not just because of the length, but also the mastering (another argument for another time). Still, I find a 45 minute statement is much easier to digest than a 70-80 minute one. Inevitably, the creativity is always stretched a little thin over the longer running time. I might just be a jaded old fart... but I miss the days of doing shorter records but putting them out quicker. Sure, you only got a 7 song album, but in 12 months you had another one. Better than waiting four years for a 12 song album. Amen!!!

2112 LVS is second, on this list, by the thinnest hair

I'll have a slice of both please!

Who cares!!! That "Hall of Fame" is a complete joke. Rush have been inducted into MY Hall of Fame and that is all that counts to me. They have been marginalized their entire careers, why should now be any different. This is to the "Hall of Fame"

For me it was close between "Test For Echo" and "Driven", I chose "Test For Echo"

Very funny, I avoided the johns at the show I was at.

Happy Birthday Neil

The Spirit of Radio!!!!!!! There's no other choice for me

I voted for "A Passage To Bangkok", its to easy to vote for 2112
