*SPOILER* Lerxst interview

What concerns me in the interview is this phrase: "we're rearranging it slightly"

Now that worked well for Digital Man a couple of years ago but those two tunes have some great stuff in them that I'm not sure should be f-d with.

I disagree, I like when they change stuff up a little bit. Doing Resist acoustically I thought was awesome and is exactly the kind of change up I would like to see them do more of. I am getting very excited for this tour and can't wait to see what other old songs are coming back.

Holy shit Alex just blew JL's cover!

Wow I wonder if that was by accident?

Geddy: "Damnit Alex...well...you f*cked it up for everyone. Now we're not gonna play it! Good going!"

So what kind of retooling will JL get? I hope they don't take out the synth solo in the middle!!

I think they might just shorten it. Same with TCE. I think there are portions of both that could be skipped without too much negative effect.

 

I'm probably wrong, though.... unsure.gif

I think this is likely too which would be too bad because then many fans will complain that they didn't really play those after all. I hope we're wrong.

With TCE they could easy cut the song in half, since it basically repeats itself. I just hope they keep the build-up in the intro, and the kickass solo at the end.

That's what I LIKE about TCE though. The distinct New York / London sections.

Cool interview.  But I think Al is f***ing with us.  No way they're doing TCE and JL.

Remember though - he said they toyed around with it and A Farewell to Kings in getting ready for the Snakes & Arrows tour.

 

Entre Nous should come back as well - I thought that came off very nicely live.

I was excited...very. I knew this tour was going to be probably the greatest yet.

 

TCE...AND JL??

 

add ENTRE NOUS and well...(needs fainting smiley here!!!)

True... I'd really rather hear the entire song uncut, but it sounds like they've messed with it a bit. angry.gif

i'm totally convinced that they could play a setlist where everyone was happy and there would still be endless bitching.

Not only that...I think Rush could play their ENTIRE catelog from 'Finding My Way' right through to 'We Hold On', and people would still be unhappy!

Too much filler.

From Al's lips-
"Jacob's Ladder".

Let the bitching start. "Out of all their old songs they pick that" yes.gif

I would rather have Xanadu. BUT LETS HEAR BOTH I SAY. JACOB'S AND XANADU.

Yes, Xanadu and Anthem back to back!

"featuring... Moving Pictures in its entirety" does not mean shortening TCE if you ask me. They might make the synth parts easier for Geddy( pedal-triggered instead of having to stand there playing them); that sounds more likely to me

If we just got these two tunes, plus a FULL Xanadu (anything less is unacceptable), I will be happy. (well, actually I'd like a few other gems, but you get the point : )
