MMCXII Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 so I'm going to say they'll begin the second set with tom sawyer and continue through the rest of the album in order, what do you think? also, do you think they'll do anything else to celebrate MP? ...maybe a set of red tamas?

shaun3701 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 maybe Geddy will wear the blue sweatsuit, red socks and giant glasses he wore in the MP videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuppetKing2112 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Beginning of the second set makes the most sense, with some kind of extended MP animation coming out of intermission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdhonda Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 One possibility would be having the intermission between LL and TCE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I think they should end the first half with "Jacob's Ladder" and kick off the second half with Moving Pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew1 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 They could try something like playing one song off each album leading up to Moving Pictures. It is The Time Machine tour after all. They could open the show with Working Man. I wouldn't put it past them. Dude, that would be awesome. Whatever they open with, it will be something no one expects. The last time they did something like this was before Power Windows. When they played live new material that would be released on the upcoming album. Since then, it's been album, then tour. Everything about this is so unexpected. The pre-tour. The new songs. The Time Machine theme. Then a new album and tour again! I'm used to them being so systematic. It's strange. Somethings got them pretty fired up to stray from their formula so late in the game. I pretty much know what to expect when I see Rush. I could be wrong, but this time I'm not so sure. The red tamas? Neil might have replicas of sets from every tour that rotate between shows. They might bust out the kimonos. The Necromancer? I wouldn't count it out. Ged might pick up the doubleneck again just for nostalgia. You called TCE didn't you? Many thought that would never happen. If they have been listening to the fans then they're going to know right where to hit us. Remember the theme. 'Time Machine'. They're up to something. Working Man would be a killer opener for this tour. Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kid glove Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 i certainly hope they don't open the 2nd set w/ TS.... thats my go take a pisser song! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushfanNlv Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I'd like to see Alex and Geddy play the old guitars again for the Moving Pictures stuff. I didn't like the fact that Alex used a Les Paul for EVERYTHING on the last tour. There are just some songs that require the lighter, brighter sound of a strat or even a PRS. Mission is a perfect example. I say bring out the old Hentors and the Rics for this portion of the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some Half-Forgotten Stranger Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I think they are going to film themselves performing the songs during rehersal and then at intermission between sets, play it then....Moving Pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMCXII Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share Posted April 9, 2010 the old instruments would be very cool! haven't thought of that. my mental image is just before they start MP, Ged and Al go off and their old instruments.. then they look over at Neil who's frowning at the thought of returning to his old kit. they go back and forth for a bit, then he gives in! rolls out the old moving pictures kit!!

MMCXII Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share Posted April 9, 2010 just thought of something, if they start they second set with MP, that would put YYZ right in the same time slot as a certain grumpy one's drum solo... hmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be complaining though! That'd be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nealpert Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 (edited) I think side 1 would be good for ending the first Set. then at the end of LL have a video of the record (vinyl) ending on a turntable with that guy in the R30 video falling asleep to it. The video keeps running through the intermission with MP vinyl with the stylus in the runout. Then when intermission is over they show the guy having a weird dream and making alot of noise ( to let everyone know intermisson is over) then wake up and flip the record over and voila! set 2. Have the video set in 1981 of course. a bong in the background, rush posters all over from the era Etc. EDIT And start Tom sawyer with the same type of video with the guy showing his buddy the new rush album he just bought and listening to it for the first time. Open the shrink wrap and everything. maybe bob and doug mackenzie? this is the time machine tour right? Edited April 10, 2010 by nealpert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
