We do know that they are playing Moving Pictures in it's entirety...two new songs (one is named Caravan) and Jacob's Ladder (according to a new interview on Rush is a band by Alex). Other than that, speculate all you want, but nobody knows what the opener will be yet. In fact, I would imagine that Rush themselves have only recently finalized the set-list to give the engineers time to start pre-production on lighting, audio, and visuals while the band works through rehearsals. Mid May should see the band get together and start running through the entire show on a semi-permamanet basis for rehearsals to work out the kinks. However, given the criteria on the question at hand......my money is on The Spirit of Radio but I am hoping for a vault type of song like Analog Kid or Afterimage followed by an even more rare gem like Kid Gloves or Chemistry. The key to the Time Machine Tour is Geddy's vocals.........I doubt we'll see Hemisphere's, Cinderella Man, Anthem, Bastille Day, or A Farewell To Kings unless they are in medley form. As much as I would LOVE to see it again, those days and tours are over (glad I got to see them back then though). Either way...it's Rush, so it will kick ass! I'm sorry but you're incorrect. What I post I do know for sure - or else I'd state that it was opinion and not fact. There could always be some tweaks to the setlist in rehearsals (recall that the R30 Overture came about late in the game) but the setlist was created about 6 weeks ago. If you are 100% sure of the opening song, as you claim, my question would be your source and whether or not you know the entire set-list? I'm not going to give sources - sorry. I think we went through this on the tour postings a month or two ago. As far as the setlist, let's say I have access to the whole thing. I know the setlist conceptually and just about everything that's going to be in there however I want to leave a few surprises for myself. Seeing as you are "always right"......what have you been right on besides "Rush will be touring this year"?......that was almost common knowledge, based on the interviews with the band in the last several months. Your criteria on the what the opening song is, is very general...Looking through your posts, I don't see anything solid that says you are affiliated with the band. "A few more shows will be added" etc, doesn't do it. What have you got that proves you are in the know, besides vague/recycled info that has been posted at other sites prior to you posting it on here? Wow...this really is getting unrewarding. I'm not affiliated with the band. I just happen to be privy to just about everything going on with the tour. I guess there really isn't much upside in trying to share whatever pieces of it that I can - at least with this group. If you reviewed all my posts from the past several months and felt that was all recycled info and lucky guesses then I'm not really sure what to tell you other than you're very poor at analyzing information and I must be a truly remarkable guesser. I for one appreciate your posts and am confident you posts are 100% acccurate. I happen to know you from another board...so I can say with certainty that everyhing you say will happen. All one needs to do, is go back and look at pevious posts to see that your predictions were spot on. Please don't stop posting because of a few idiots in here....that have railed you. Thanks again!

trenken Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 QUOTE (Tigershark2112 @ Apr 26 2010, 02:13 PM) Rush said it best: Show, Don't Tell How many times do you hear it? It goes on all day long Everyone knows everything And no one's ever wrong Until later... Who can you believe? It's hard to play it safe But apart from a few good friends We don't take anything on faith Until later... Show...don't tell... (Show me, don't tell me) You've figured 'OUT the SCORE' (Show me, don't tell me) I've heard it all before (Show me, don't tell me) I don't care what you say (Show me, don't tell me) Hehe, well that sums up this thread.

Score Out, I remember that you did pretty accurately predict Rush's current plan before it was official (record a couple songs, summer mini-tour to play them live, record full album, tour again next year). Plus a couple of other noteable details, if I recall. Could have been some shrewd guesses, but I think maybe you do have some kind of inside info. Having said that, I wouldn't bother trying to prove anything with anyone, especially with these "wagers." I would just put your info out there, and let people judge it in a few weeks.

Lol, of course you wont post sources, because you dont have any. This guy says he knows the setlist, but wont say how. You dont know anything and dont have any connection with the band. This happens with every single tour, these people come out trying to impress everyone with their "inside knowledge" and "connections". You're not posting the setlist because you know damn well you dont know what it is. If you really knew it there isnt a single good excuse you can come up with not to post it. Noone knows who you are, there is no way for you to get in trouble. In the entire time that rush has toured while the internet has been around, Ive never seen a single person that posted an accurate setlist prior to the tour starting. You're just looking for attention. I post my opinions on things, which I do believe im allowed to do, but you're actually lying which is pathetic. If you cant post the real set list or site sources then go away please. Wow...you really are a putz! How about you put up or shut up? Here's an offer for you: Pick any slot in the setlist (ie - fourth song of the second set) and you give me 50 to 1 and let me bet you what the song is. By all rights the odds of blindly selecting any random song in the right spot in the setlist should be about 150 to 1 since it could be anything in their catalog. Maybe 100-1 if you eliminate songs that couldn't possibly be played. So 50-1 should be easy money for you. Hell, I'll even let you make it 25 to 1. If you're so sure I have no information and no connections, why don't you take me up on my offer? It should be the easiest money you've ever made. I for one will believe Score Out.

DetachedandSubdivided Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 (edited) I would put my money on SoR... But I would give an arm or a leg to hear "Totem" and/or "Cold Fire" on this tour. My wife is a new Rush fan, and those are her two favorite songs... and if Rush played either, well, let's just say I think I'd have permanent future permission to buy whatever tickets I wanted, in any part of the country.
