Completely Not true . It does Not have to be heavy for me to like it. They have much better songs to open with. That's all

 

That's cool, I know you don't care much for S&A which is fine but I figured you'd at least like Far Cry and a couple others on there. But I agree that not everything works well as an opener.

It won't be anything on MP. They would NEVER open the show with MP in it's entirety. My money is on MP being early in the second set with the possibility of a one song buffer to get people back to their seats.

 

It won't be CTTH or New World Man.

 

TSOR or Freewill. I'd prefer Freewill but it's probably TSOR.

Since there's been a ton of speculation all over the board about this one:

Assuming they don't call an audible in rehearsals, the Opening Song is...

* A single song, not a medley or overture

* Not Far Cry

* A "hit"

A "hit"...to me, that means:

 

Spirit of Radio

Tom Sawyer

Limelight

YYZ

The Big Money

Closer to the Heart

Subdivisions

 

"Limelight" opened to last tour, so it's probably not that one...

 

"CTTH" starts too softly to open a show, IMO...

 

I don't think "Subdivisions" is the type of song they'd open a show with, but that's just my opinion. The beginning of this song isn't driving enough...

 

"The Big Money" is a dark horse. It has been and would again make a fine opener, and I suppose it can be considered a "hit," but IMO, Score Out is implying that it's a song that is one of the "must play" songs, and this one isn't in that category. They might not even play it...

 

"YYZ" is one of their most popular songs and would make a hell of an opener, but IF they're going to play Moving Pictures in order, that rules this song out as a show opener. Which leads us to...

 

"Tom Sawyer" is always a good opener, but they did that pretty recently on the Vapor Trails tour, so...

 

I therefore deduce that "Spirit of Radio" will open. biggrin.gif

 

(Unless of course there's another "hit" that I'm not thinking of.)

2112

 

Didn't they open the MP tour with overture and finish with the finale?

 

I could see them doing something like that again.

I like 4 songs from S&A

How about really throwing everyone for a loop and opening with
Working Man? confused13.gif confused13.gif confused13.gif

See to me this makes sense. Working Man was their first real hit, AND it's off the 1st album. Which would probably be the first stop from the time machine going way back right?

It would not be awesome, who wants them to play 2112 in broad daylight?

I'm not going to say what the song is but with the hints provided and some logic applied it should be pretty easy to narrow down. I'd just add again that I'm referring to a song where you won't be debating the definition of "hit." It's one of their big songs.

I think it's gotta be The Spirit of Radio. It's a fantastic opener that proved itself during the Signals, GUP, and Power Windows tours. Now what would be cool is to open THAT with the Three Stooges Intro wink.gif

Oh for Christ's sake......NOBODY on this forum knows anything for sure! 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!

A time machine tour and they're going to open with a big hit ?

 

No way man i don't believe it laugh.gif

 

Seriously, not much of a prediction no.gif
