Echoes Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 What are the songs from Snakes and Arrows that you consider are musts on the second leg? Here's mine. Far Cry (duh) Armor and Sword ("no one gets to their heaven without a fight." Deep) Workin' Them Angels (this one just rocks) MalNar (grammy) Hope (beautiful) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuppetKing2112 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Far Cry Armor and Sword Workin' Them Angels The Larger Bowl The Main Monkey Business The Way the Wind Blows Hope Faithless Good News First Malignant Narcissism We Hold On Spindrift I don't think translated very well live on last year's leg, and Bravest Face I like but it just seems like too much of a "filler track" for them to really be likely to play it live. Which isn't to say it's bad, it's just not a song that sticks out as a "must-play." Everything else from the album is crucial, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rat Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Far Cry is the worst sounding SA song currently on the setlist. I've got a copy of "Ode to Broonsie" (awesome boot - many thanks to those responsible) and the proof is in the puddin. I've listened to it over and over and it's just not up to the standards of the other new songs. I don't know if it's because of the amount of click tracks or what but it sounds much better on the studio. TWTB, WTA, AaS, TMMB, and Malnar are the keepers. Faithless, and WHO should be the adds, if any. Get 'Ode to Broonsie" if you can....I'm sure SA Live will be butchered to fit on 2 cds....BTW Entre Nous and Circumstances are the rockers on OTB IMHO....and I am not one of those "old Rush or no Rush" people. Those just sound awesome live with modern tech. And I never thought I would say Entre Nous rocks but.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I think S&A was truly a work of art, but I got tired of the five songs in a row they did for the last leg. It just got so tiring after awhile, which really complimented "Subdivisions" afterwards. When you have as vast a back catalog as Rush does, and only a three hour set, eleven songs are WAY too many to throw in. I'd say five this leg and I'd be just fine, and I think others would be content as well. I'm just wondering why you think it's "crucial" to the set? I personally believe all those songs added would be a HUGE mistake... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I loved how much new material they did last year, compared to the VT tour where they had this amazing new album out and they only did 4 or 5 songs from it every night.

Right, I know, that wasn't my point. Even spread out, why bother playing ALL those new tunes when they have such a huge back catalog to dive into? Eleven, as you listed, seems like WAY too much. Five would be just fine and still would classify them as more than a nostalgia act... It's just way too much when there's so much older material they can play, especially stuff that hasn't been played, or hasn't been played in a very long time. As for the thread, the songs that need to stay are: Far Cry Workin' Them Angels The Way The Wind Blows Malignant Narcissism The Larger Bowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echoes Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 I agree. "Faithless" and "We Hold On" would be good additions for me. I personally love "Spindrift." It's one of my favs on the album. I wouldn't mind them booting "The Main Monkey Business" or "The Way the Wind Blows" in faver of "Faithless" and "We Hold On" Such a lot of pain on the earth......

I've seen all the others so many times! Really, anything live that I havn't seen is a real treat. So I guess never played older stuff would be great too! So, all of S&A would be fine with me. Ironically, my favorite song on S&A, Larger Bowl, didn't come off too good live IMO. Loved the video but the music just wasn't right. Especially the vocals. I like Geddy's studio version better. So they could drop that one by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
