* Spoiler * Moving Pictures Setlist Placement

[Score Out]

A lot of posts at this one, so a few items of clarification:

 

* Moving Pictures will be played consecutively, in order - not sprinkled throughout the set.

 

* All the songs are in the same set

 

* There's no drum solo during YYZ

Thanks for your info

Nevermind, re-read whole thread and answered my own question. Edited April 22, 2010 by Alex

Cool.

Interesting, and probably correct that the entire album will be played in one set. Either before or after the break.

So, I will guess that the first set ends side one of MP and the second set opens with TCE.

Hmm, I don't see them splitting MP with the break. I figure it will either close the first set or open the second.

I'll bet the second set opens with a non-MP song followed by TS and the rest of MP. Gotta give the stragglers time to get back to their seats.

I doubt that--I'm guessing there will be a pretty extensive video entry into TS--Not the awesome South Park bit, but a new one reflecting Moving Pictures as a whole--perhaps a compilation of TS, Witch Hunt, Red Barchetta and Limelight videos. This will give the idiots (stragglers) time to get the F back to their seats.

 

The second set WILL begin with TS. I just BELIEVE it!

 

I am so freakin pumped. I don't think I'm going to make it to June 29

Gee thanks. I didn't know you were planning the set list with the band

That would make perfect sense

 

Apparently we need predictions for the obvious

I always crack up at the setlist prediction antics. I confess that I used to play this as well. At this stage of the game, I'm just happy to be able to see them again. I was afraid between 92 and 96 and 97 and 02 that I would never be able to enjoy a Rush concert again. Though I have setlist preferences, I would be happy if they played MP followed by Snakes and Arrows. It's still Rush and I love their live sound. That being said, I'm sure that however fantastic their setlist is, I will walk to my car pleased but wishing I heard something that was not played. The next morning, I will be counting it as a fantastic show. I was elated by the Pow and HYF setlists. Revisiting them now makes them appear empty of classic tunes. I'm gonna see TCE and Vital Signs again and that is enough for me

Will the guys use original instruments ?

That's a much bigger question for me than setlist order, and worthy of a thread imo.

Well-

 

Geddy's #1 Jazz Bass was used to record some of the songs on MP. I guess the Rick could come out again but I tend to doubt it.

 

Alex used his old Howard Roberts Fusion last tour on "Wind Blows". You can see that guitar on the ESL videos. I could see that guitar and the ES-355 being used-as far as the old Strat/Floyd Rose/Bill Lawrence Pickup "mutts" (the white and black ones) they would be the period correct guitars to use but who knows if he even still has them?
