Even then, it was at the end of the show. They opened with it on the Hemispheres tour. punched a hole through your memory too it seems lol i think not ! you see i was there front row centre its not something you would forget,trust me . so mr mxc whatever your name is please keep your sarcasm canned! kidding dude, relax!

Del_Duio Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 QUOTE (Mara @ Apr 27 2009, 07:08 AM) I could maybe see One Little Victory, but I could also see that one given a break. I'd love to see YYZ as an opener. Just for something completely different. My all-time favorite opener was Force Ten. Force Ten is a perfect opener. It'll probably be Far Cry or something from the next album I'd guess. Maybe that new epic they'll undoubtably write Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del_Duio Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 QUOTE (2112th Man @ Apr 28 2009, 03:51 PM) Maybe Circumstances? I LOVED that version on this past tour.... Sadly, I think that's the last time they'll play Circumstances live. Just a guess but to me it was one of those rare great songs that'll be replaced with another rare great song. Of course, you could've said the same thing about Between the Wheels and that one's made the rounds a lot these last few tours. Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vital signz Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 QUOTE (Rushman14 @ Apr 28 2009, 05:32 PM) The first song off the next album. That is usually the first song of the second set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zagar Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I remember when they opened with LimeLight in Detroit and Alex came oue with the great opening lick but Neil and Geddy didn't come out. THey were peeking around the stacks and pointing at Alex!! Too funny!! Then they started the show and it was incredible!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1974FAN Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 If they were going to do an R35 Tour (which they're obviously not), you would have to think about an R35 Overture. How 'bout this... In The Mood Fly By Night Lakeside Park Something For Nothing Cinderella Man Circumstances Then they could blend that into a full rendition of Freewill. As for when they tour to support a new album, the possibilities are endless. However, I'll go with...Oh, Hell! I just can't decide! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apetersvt Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 QUOTE (Presto-digitation @ Apr 27 2009, 06:31 AM) Probably something original, like The Spirit Of Radio. Far Cry would be a nice choice. Far Cry would be a very strong possibility. For several recent tours, they played the opening song off of the previous album to start off.

greg2112 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 First and foremost, this being my first post on the board let me introduce myself: As my user name indicates, I'm Greg. I reside in the DC and have been a die-hard Rush fan for 28 years running, my very first show being the New World Tour, MSG 1982, 5th row in front of Alex. Still the greatest show I've ever seen by any band. Good to be amongst fellow Rush fanatics! Now, on to to the question: I agree with those who want to see them open with 2112, however, I'd like to see a little more than what they played during the MP tour. What they did during the PW tour would be perfect. And might I say it would be great from them to bring back the By-Tor/full Xanadu twofer as well, its been too long!

But as an opener, they should choose their seminal opening track - which is, and will be to eternity - Distant Early Warning. ... followed by the rest of GUP ...

hogwash Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I think YYZ, Far Cry and One Little Victory are pretty realistic choices. Freewill or 2112 would be great as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
