Which Compilation would you like to see them play on tour, I don't think they've ever played either completely. ( I could be wrong) !

 

Gangster of Boats:

Where's My Thing

Leave That Thing Alone

The Main Monkey Business

Limbo

 

Fear:

 

Enemy Within

The Weapon

Witch Hunt

Freeze

I truly would like to hear the "Fear" Quadrilogy played live, many of the songs have only been played once live and Freeze has never seen the Limelight! As for "Gangster of Boats". It would be cool if they splice all the songs together into a medley like this here:

Fear, easily!

 

Although the Boats would be better for Geddy's voice . . .

 yeah that's what I was thinking as well, Geddy wouldn't have to sing a single note and it would be interesting to see what Anika would do with it! Actually it would be cool if they included all there Instrumentals on the Tour! 2112 Overture/ Finale/ Hemispheres/ YYZ/ Gangster of Boats/ Malignant Narcissism/ and a drum solo for good Measure

How about grep's compilation:

The Obscure Four:
Lessons
Tears
Entre Nous
Different Strings

Or
The Sensational Six:
The Obscure Four
Something For Nothing
In The End

The Boats instrumentals performed as a truncated medley would be super cool. That would make for a very unique instrumental showcase for the tour. Why choose one instrumental when they can mash a few together?

[zepphead]

Fear would be cool!

[yyz305]

Fear, just so 'Freeze' gets a run!

[PAFHumbucker]

Fear.  I would love to hear Freeze live.

[TheGhostRider]

The Fear series, so we can finally hear Freeze live. The original trilogy was played live, and all of Gangster of Boats has been played live as well. 

[Timbale]

Genuine question - do people actually think of Freeze as being part of "Fear"?  I always thought it was a little playful subtitle, a joke of making a part 4 of a trilogy just because it was a song dealing with fear...not a real designation in the way that the 3 original songs are...

You Ruined it "In the End" LOL. You know I've always thought that not playing "Tears" when they toured with the mini String Section was a lost Opportunity! That would have been Epic!

Absolutely Nothing, It should Just come "At the Beginning" that's all! Actually the crowd would go Effin' nuts it they play that and Jam the hell of it "In the End" !
