I think this tread got derailed. It was supposed to be about the possibility of an Epic song on Clockwork Orange!

I too loved Snake and Arrows and I'm with you 100% on Clockwork Angels having the potential for blowing it away!

QUOTE I just hope they have more keys through the rest of the record. Being a keyboardist, I'm with you 100% , but the first two songs doesn't really indicate that! I guess we'll wait and see!

QUOTE They seem to be trapped in that 5 minute mode. Guys, they have a good producer now! I really think it's just a state of mind. Sooner or later they are going to piece two similar 5 minute songs together and come up with a 10 minute song. I think it can happen much easier than we expect. And if not? At least it makes up for an interesting post!

That's more like center right, than off to the side! Below is what I'm worried about!

QUOTE Afterimage? Kid Gloves? Enemy Within? Those were post-apocalyptic songs? Grace Under Pressure wasn't exactly a "concept album," but it and many of the others since then have had an overall "theme" of sorts, along with a few tracks which fell outside of the theme. Ok I sit corrected! 'cause I'm too old to stand!

QUOTE Was GUP really a concept album? Absolutely, all songs had to do with the topic of a Post Apocolyptic World!

QUOTE My hunch would be that this doesn't mean we're going to get any 10-20 minute epic songs per se, but I think the album, Clockwork Angels, might be a concept album of sorts...an extended story...but who knows What are you saying something along the lines of "Six degress of Inner Turbulance" by Dream Theater, "A pleasant Shage of Grey" by Fatewarning or "Grace Under Pressure" by The boys?

I've been watching some of the Youtube Videos and it seems that at many venues the Speaker towers are to close to the middle, obstructing the view of the screen. Specially, if you're on one of the sides. Is this the same everywhere?

Excellent! But make your own opinion! Watch below:

QUOTE Here again i am starting again to dream about the good times of Hemispheres... Unfortunately, I feel the whole Steampunk concept is going to be more like the Grace Under Pressure Album instead of Hemispheres or 2112!

I took my daughter to see Rush during both legs of the Snake and arrows tour! She became an instant Rush Fan. Hell she's been listening to rush since the womb. My wife was 6 months pregnant when we went to the T4E tour! She was kicking all over the place! Now she's pissed she can't go to this tour! Thanks to the extremely high prices! Thanks !

QUOTE Word is that if you lay tracks 4, 2, 9, and 7 back to back it makes one long song. That's funny!

QUOTE So far I'm not crazy about the two songs from CA, so honestly I'm just hoping some of the other material is better. Well, IMO, the two new songs are pretty damn good. Caravan is an awesome song. It was good to see their musicianship upfront once again. Both Songs are also pretty heavy! Which was another great indication of where they are going. I just hope they go all out and add at least one epic song. rules!

Well we've heard two of the songs from Clockwork Angels and they are both on the short side of Rush songs. I always liked that about Genesis. Even though they went commercial they still gave us at least one if not two Epic songs per album. What do you think are the chances Rush might unleash an Epic song on this album? I'm sure Nick wants to wrap his production fingers around one and might influence the guys to do so. Any Thoughts? We want another EPIC song!

Well now I know where the inspiration for I love you man came from!

really cool! I always love when Alex plays the lead to YYZ and it sounds like Limelight!

I'm sure it will be played next tour. I'm with you all the way on the thought patterns on why it was ommitted this time around! $$$ JL will sell the next tour as TCE sold this one! I just hope the prices come down! Please guys I want to take my daughter next time!

QUOTE I'm not a whiner. I just know what I like. And I like Whining! I should have been born in a Winery! But then I wouldn't have nothing to whine about! Geez! just whine yourself into an epiphany already! The set list sucks! Neil dropped a stick! Geddy is singing too high or low! Why can't he just stick to a monotone? Alex is going bald! Why don't they play "I think I'm going bald?" The stage is too ellaborate! Tickets are too expensive! My seats are too close! I have tickets to Rush! I have tickets to Rush! The best band in the world! After 40 years they are still together and I have tickets to their show! OMG I have tickets to

It's great to see how these two awesome drummers admire each othere!

QUOTE I actually think they will record this tour. Next years tour is going to be different in many ways. This one has a total concept all of it's own. The stage set up and all the quirky equipment for the Time Machine. Also, I remember reading an interview with Alex some time ago and he said it was their goal now to film and record as much of their catalog as possible for posterity. I admit. it would be nice to see a RUSH concert filmed at Red Rocks!

Here is my revision: Set 1 1. The Spirit of Radio 2. Time Stand Still 3. Presto 4. Stick It Out >>> CUT TO THE CHASE 5. Leave That Thing Alone >>> MALNAR 6. Workin' Them Angels 7. Faithless 8. BU2B 9. Marathon 10.Subdivisions >>>JACOB'S LADDER 11. Freewill Intermission Set 2 12. Tom Sawyer 13. Red Barchetta 14. YYZ 15. Limelight 16. The Camera Eye 17. Witch Hunt 18. Vital Signs 19. Caravan 20. Drum Solo 21. Alex Solo 22. Closer to the Heart >>> Something for Nothing 23. 2112 Overture/Temples of Syrinx 24. Far Cry Encore 25. La villa Strangiato (last played on R30 tour) 26. Working Man (last played on R30 tour) >>> XANADU

Well lately Rush has been filming every tour. I think this will be no exception! That said, at which city do you think they'll film The Time Machine Tour? I'm hoping it will be their last show at West Palm Beach! Since I'll be there!

I ! I ! I ! I !
