ReflectedLight Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Summertime Blues? It must be enjoyable to play for them, but I really wish they would have not played Summertime Blues. In it's place play either Jacob's Ladder which is long overdue, In the End, or Farewell to Kings. I thought they were really gonna bust out one of these 3.

Mustard Death Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 ***Bit of a spoiler... but you guys should all know that by now*** Yeah, I think I speak for most of this forum when I say Summertime Blues was the worst choice on the setlist... but as far as Jacob's Ladder goes, they played four other songs from PeW (including Natural f***ing Science!)... so I wasn't concerned with the lack of JL.

mfratt Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I was actually a bit disappointed when I saw that on the set list...but they really did a great job rocking it out. Much better than the original, the one on Feedback, or the R30 one IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll bet 90% of the people would much rather here another Rush tune from the archives than a Who remake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll bet 90% of the people would much rather here another Rush tune from the archives than a Who remake. It wasn't the Who (although I'd much prefer the Seeker by the Who track from Feedback). The Who did a cover of Summertime Blues and it is on their Live at Leeds album. The song was originally written by Eddie Cochrane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apetersvt Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Actually, Summertime Blues was credited to Blue Cheer on Feedback(released 1968). The Who's version wasn't until 1970's Live At Leeds. The original was by Eddie Cochran, released 1958 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-D-RocK- Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 It's actually a Blue Cheer cover, who covered the original Eddie Cochrane version. If that makes any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaVillaRush Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I personally think that in they should have done this... Spirit of Radio Tom Sawyer Medelly I. 2112 Overture II. 2112 Temples of Syrinx III. Closer to the Heart IV. Working Man ... But I'd live with Summertime Blues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil The Great Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 It would have been nice if they choose THE SEEKER. That song just rocks! They did that song justice. It rocked during the 30 Year tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Ways Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Time is a big factor in song selection and there is no way they could have subbed JL for SB. They would need to select a shorter sub or cut another song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReflectedLight Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 They can play whatever they want and they must enjoy playing Summertime Blues, but I couldn't wait for the song to end. It was nice to hear and blended nicely at R30, but bring back "In the End" instead. It's not a long song, but a goodie, and I think would have been electrifying.

The O' Sullivan Factor Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 I loved it and really folks, if the boys wanted to play any of those songs they would've taken something else out. Face it they don't want to play Jacob's Ladder, In the End, or Closer to the Heart anymore. Personnaly at my show they did a great job with it, but I still think "The Seeker" would've been a better choice for a cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the End, I can't remember when they ever played it. I guess they just don't enjoy playing them anymore or don't get wound up over playing them.
