I think Anthem would be a great opener. While TSOR is a great song, it wouldn't break my heart if they didn't play it this tour. However, being that it was one of the 5 songs that were inducted into the Canadian Songwriter's Hall of Fame, I am sure it will make an appearance. And maybe Closer to the Heart? Been a while since they played that one, and there have been hints in interviews with Geddy and Alex that they might be bringing it back.

 

I'm just so happy that they are playing The Camera Eye and Vital Signs that I don't care what the rest of the set list is going to be! As long as it's Rush, it's all good!

I keep getting hung up in the whole "Time Machine" theme. So I'm thinking that right off the bat, they'll go clear back to 1974. Why not? It would be totally unexpected and something that they would do. Maybe...

 

They open the show with 'Working Man'. Ridiculous? Probably. But does anyone else think that that would be a killer opener?

If they didn't play anything off of their first album, I would be ok with that. With the exception of In The Mood, I really don't care for it. no.gif

I like the medley, if it is composed of songs which the guys would otherwise not perform in their entirety (like Bastille Day) likely due to being out of Geddys vocal range

Is it that far of a stretch? 'Time Machine Tour'. Debut album. It is feasible isn't it? Anyone?

If that's the case, the opening will be: Finding my Way

Oh, and Bastille Day is probably the best opener ever.

Very limited choices... I think Finding My Way would be appropriate. Anthem would be great. Bastille Day would be epic. It's a Time Machine baby!!

I must admit! I really should have had Bastile Day on the Poll! It is an extremely good opener! Another song I feel would make a good opener is Hemispheres! (Prelude)! Can you imagine the crowd when those first few first chords come in! No-one would expect it! People will drown from the gathering drool!

Finding My Way

 

The very first song on the very first album. Perfect for a Time Machine Tour!

I've been talking about 'Working Man' as an opener for weeks. No one has said anything. Is it that far of a stretch? 'Time Machine Tour'. Debut album. It is feasible isn't it? Anyone?.......Come on! That would kick some ass!

For me going to the Time Machine tour, this would be the ultimate opener!

I would have to go with The Big Money! I always loved how that show started!

I thought the medley rocked...it was definitely surprising as well as refreshing.
