Should 2112 be dropped

[NobleEnoughbutWeakEnough]

Call me a heretic in the Temple of Syrinx... but a 2007 show without 2112, Dreamline, Tom Sawyer (yeah, I said it), or Closer to the Heart would be fine by me so long as they through in some stuff that longtimers have wanted, for years, to return to the set list (e.g., Entre Nous or Territories).

Territories is a good song, but not the best on Power Windows, there are other songs I'd want. And it was just a B side to The Big Money back in the day...

8 2112? I want Under Lock and Key played 33 times [ 1 ] [2.70%]

 

 

who voted for that one?

[Azumi]

I went for 6. I think 2112 is cool, but it's not as awesome once you find out that Alex does solo over the same riff twice in the song...and once you listen to the song to death.

[Ancient Ways]

2112 in its entirety with the music in the original key.

Geddy can sing an ocatave lower as far as I'm concerned but hearing it in the lower key bugs my ears. Plus, lose the pirates and perform it as recorded.

 

[RushDrummer]

No way...I want to see it just once before I die

[Slacker]

It wouldn't bother me if they played the whole 2112

[treeduck]

How about a special 90 minute concert where they do all of The Fountain of Lamneth, 2112, Hemispheres, Xanadu, Natural Science and the Camera Eye?

I'd be speechless for a month after that

The Trees should have this done as well. Neil even considers it to be trite these days according to both Contents and Chemistry. And I agree with him. Definitely other things I'd rather have played. Do you think all 70s songs should now be dropped mate? If not which ones would you like to see? Not all 70s songs, just the ones that are played every single tour.   Dream list of songs I'd like to see played (unlikely as it may be):   Middletown Dreams Circumstances Double Agent Time and Motion Cut to the Chase Cinderella Man Jacob's Ladder Vapor Trail Something off Presto that hasn't been played live yet, maybe Red Tide or Available Light Entre Nous   And most importantly:   Most or all of the new album, when it's released. You know... I love these songs. I really do. But if I went to a Rush concert and these were the songs they played in place of the others that got dropped, I'd demand my money back.   2112 stays.         ok wait a minute.. Cut To The Chase should get added. That song is the best!! I figured they would have played that one by now.

[Prime Mover and Shaker]

I like it, but if it means more other stuff, then I could live without it.

[H. P. L.]

Just the Overture and Temples is fine for me.

For wot its worth I think although 2112 is totally brilliant, it is maybe time, if not to drop it all together but keep Grande Finale as a show closer, I mean wot better closer could you have, its made for the job, maybe it could be on the end of a medly or something
