If you think certain songs won't get dropped...

[fonzbear2000]

Did you ever think in a million years that Closer To The Heart and 2112 would ever get dropped? I sure didn't! I was also a bit surprised to see Time Stand Still, Red Sector A and Distant Early Warning get dropped, but the other 2? WOW! What a shocker! So, anything is possible as far as songs such as Dreamline, Limelight, and Spirit Of Radio go. You never know what Rush will do or won't do. Edited April 24, 2010 by fonzbear2000

I can't wait to see the change up in the set....

[fonzbear2000]

So, does anyone have any thoughts on my post?

[micgtr71]

I guess that I was not surprised to see Time Stand Still or Red Sector A dropped. Closer to the Heart did surprise me though I was not missing it. Probably the only ones that wouls surprise me would be Spirit or Sawyer. We know we are getting TS, and I will be shocked is TSOR is dropped.

There's 1 song out of the 8 or 9 "majors" that is out of this tour's setlist as well as one song that's been played during almost every recent tour that's out as well.

Very nice post.

 

I'd like to see all of those songs dropped and have play nothing but B-Sides.

I sincerely hope that the "major" you refer to is not Subdivisions. My guess on the other one thats been played recently is Secret Touch.

It can't be Sawyer, Barchetta, Limelight, or YYZ, so what else is there?   The Spirit of Radio Subdivisions (although this was only recently dropped for the VT tour) Distant Early Warning The Trees Freewill 2112   That's really all I could think of. I hope it's DEW.

That comes across as a little needy, but I'll play...

 

Of all the songs you've mentioned, only "YYZ" and "Limelight" are untouchable. Not even "CTTH" and "2112" are must-plays -- there have been several tours where those songs weren't played.

 

In my estimation, these are the untouchables:

 

Tom Sawyer

Spirit Of Radio

Limelight

YYZ

 

Everything else is either a semi-regular (e.g. "Subdivisions" "Freewill" "2112") or up for grabs.

There really aren't 8 or 9 "major" songs that are played on every tour

 

TSOR

Tom Sawyer

Limelight

Subdivisions

YYZ

2112

 

That's really about it. And even 2112 was dropped for a time in the 90's

 

But if we count that, it's 6. Obviously, TS, YYZ, and Limelight will be played...there's no way they ever drop Spirit, so that leaves 2112 or Subdivisions maybe getting dropped. My guess would be 2112, just because Subdivisions being in the Canadain Hall of Fame and all that

[LeaveMyThingAlone]

Oh, and the song being "dropped" is Natural Science

Oh yeah! Dreamline! That could go in both categories, either the new tour section or the "major" song section. Either way, I hope it's a goner.
