Godeater2112 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I haven't intentionally been trying to think of acoustic interlude replacements for Resist however one hit me on my drive into work today. First off I just adore Alex and Geddy doing Resist the past two tours. It is incredibly touching/emotional and also makes for a nice tempo change in between sets (plus the Prof gets his much needed break). However "In the End" happened upon my CD deck and as I listened to it I thought it could be a perfect fit for Geddy & Alex's solo spot. The start is a real good acoustic fit because it is indeed acoustic. When it breaks out into some heaviness it might require a little rearrangement but still I'd love to hear them perform this. Whaddaya think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claunchorlando Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 In The End would work acoustically-I'm a little bored of Resist hope they do something else this tour just to mix it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuts&Bolts Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Funny, I was listening to ATWAS the other day and played In The End a couple of times. I wouldn't mind hearing it period, as well as Whatcha Doin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godeater2112 Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 "as well as Whatcha Doin" I so hope they dig up an oldie off that album - that song would be PERFECT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennSt8r Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 How about Open Secrets or Second Nature. I don't believe that either of these have ever been player live. Another good one that I would love to hear would be Heresy, again never played live before. I don't necessarily think it has to be pre 1980 to work well.

The first two would be a real challenge to pull of on acoustic guitar. It would be an interesting one to throw in though (regular version of the song) - Open Secrets!

quickfree Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I think it'd work great. And they don't seem to have any past regrets about this song like Lakeside Park or I Think I'm Goin' Bald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbomb106 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I am all for hearing In the End, acoustic or otherwise....on one condition: that Geddy does not try to hit the same notes he used to. There's NO way he's going to hit the same notes as he did on the ATWAS or FBN versions anymore. That said, if they tone it down, I'm all for it.

PennSt8r Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 "Let's talk about this sensibly, we're not insensitive"... Yes I did mean acoustically. We know they could come up with some acoustic arrangement for these. Plus in my opinion these songs (Open Secrets and Second Nature) are mostly about the lyrics. I just think it would be nice to see them throw in a few that have never seen the light of day live. "I know progress has no paitence, but something's got to give.!

priest_of_syrinx Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 In The End is awesome! I'd love to see that played... But I'd love a show more focused on 1977-present. They can throw in a few from the olden days of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

presto123 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Nothing would rule like Presto or Different Strings. Madrigal would be sweet as well. Never thought about Tears before. But that's another possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubled_mystic Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 funny, I was listening to In the End earlier and said the same thing, it would be really cool if they did it as the acostic number this tour. Entre Nous, Different Strings, or Presto would also be really good acoustic. guess we'll find out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billydonald9 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I would like to see an acoustic arrangement of Losing It. I think they could pull it off. Alex could really fill the space of the violin solo from the mid-section of the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ByTor2112 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I listened to Tears the other day... been a long time. Such a short simple song, would be great live in the acoustic set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Quixote Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I'd rather they ditch the acoustic section... (ducking) And the drum solo. That's 8.5 minutes that could goto another song they haven't done in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennSt8r Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Thought of another possibility... Nobody's Hero. This is a valid thread based on the past few tours and I don't mind hearing the acoustic renditions, but I would rather they just canned the acoustic interlude all together. I realize that it is a fun thing for them to do and it does offer a little change of pace as well as a rest for Neil, but I really just want them to rock.

2112th Man Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I think it would be neat to have Alex sit down and play Hope, then they can do Presto, then go into Cinderella Man. That would be a good acoustic set for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
