Todem Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) I think 99% of us love the set list. And I think 99% of us will always have a tune we wanted to hear but did not. Happens every tour. You know let's think back to the Power Windows - Roll the Bones tours. The older fans were not getting nearly what they have been getting since the CP tour. Go look back at the setlists. I loved them all because I love new music and they focused on their albums they toured for and the recent material of the time. They really supressed older signature songs for a long time. But since the CP tour we really have been treated to the best parts of their catalog big time. This setlist is really strong. I don't think some fans who are being really negative about this setlist realize how insane the run of Faithless BU2B Freewill Marathon Subdivisions Tom Sawyer Red Barchetta YYZ Limelight The Camera Eye Witch Hunt Vital Signs Caravan Is going to be. Seriously I have a huge woody thinking about this run of songs (be it separated by an intermission)and how amazing it is going to be. The show will be fantastic. I can't judge a show till I see it and experience it for myself. So far in 27 years of seeing Rush live the 2007 Snakes and Arrows tour has been my favorite setlist. VT is second and T4E third. Signals 4th and R-30 5th. "The evening with" format has been a huge gift for us. And it keeps on giving!!!! Peace.

Freeze Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) Someone said that this setlist is one or two songs from being really good, and I totally agree. If they had dropped "Stick It Out" or "Workin`Them Angels" and put "Jacob`s Ladder" (or another obscure older one) towards the end of the first set, I think this setlist would be so much better right away. I`m still gonna enjoy my trip to Toronto and the two shows there! Edited June 30, 2010 by Freeze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_pete_ Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 QUOTE (Jaminbenb @ Jun 30 2010, 09:54 AM) Wow....whiners! it's it's LIVE Ok...would it kill them to play Lakeside Park? For real! I don't understand the complaining and whining. You're getting old songs that have never been played live, new songs, and new arrangements of some staples. I for one am damn glad they still want to tour. They could have easily hung it up years ago. Jeez, be thankful that you're getting anything at all.

Tigershark2112 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I have a new found love for T4E, so I think Time and Motion would have been a perfect choice for this tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theredtamasrule Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Replace Stick It Out with Cut To The Chase and the setlist is damn near perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I have too. I always liked T4E, Driven, and Time & Motion but Color of Right and even Totem are growing on me. And dare I say it: The lyrics for Virtuality are getting less stupid-sounding over time. I guess it helps that the music is so great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadude69 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 The Second set and the encore kicks ass!!! it makes me wish I would of bought tickets. The first set is hit and miss for me. WTF is with Time Stand Still as the second song? Does that seem out of place to anyone else? I never liked that song anyway but it seems odd to have a slow song as the second song.

Silas Lang Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 The songs i wish were different are Presto, LTTA and 2 of the S&A songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus The God Of Balance Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Here we go again There's a couple of things I'd change "if I could wave my magic wand"...but I'm pleased with the set list. No complaints from me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passage2 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I think it's strange that they chose Stick it Out over a same-era song like Time & Motion, which I think would fit very nicely in this setlist. Don't understand the lack of love for Marathon, that's a tune I'd love to hear them crank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullysue Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 If this is the set list, I'm cool with that. But, I really was hoping for Jacob's Ladder being in there. meh. I don't bitch when I'm there watching them deliver every single time. They are the best live band I've ever seen in my life. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weatherman2112 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Not complaining. I am going to love this show. But I must say I'm a little surprised with no Main Monkey Business and no MalNar. And a little disappointed with no Jacob's Ladder. I suspect all 3 of these will be in next Summer. Vegas, here I come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best word to describe Rush: Integrity Best word to describe Rush Fans: Complaints My Dad has never been a major fan of Rush but grew up with a diehards.

tkdryan Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 (edited) This will be my first show. I love "leave that thing alone." Great song to listen to when driving around on a sunday. Love Marathon, thats the song that got me into these guys. Cant go wrong with anything from Moving Pictures. Love Camera eye. I like it Sept 26 in Dallas.

Checkster2112 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Agreed. I'm still going to make it to one show, but I've now decided not to go to more than that. Hopefully next summer will be a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love hitting the back roads in my Charger, cranking that song up and feeling the 10" Kicker sub pounding away to Ged's amazing bass playing. You think you have it bad, I have to wait until Oct 1st to see them. I hope these old geezers don't keel over before they make it to Oct! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably a good decision. That way a fan who appreciates anything they decide to play will have a chance to see them perform. At their ages, you never know when a tour will be their last.

tkdryan Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Thats why im going. I became a fan in 2008. I always knew that "Tom Sawyer" song but never gave them a chance till i heard them on Pandora. I wished I would have discovered them alot earlier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll be touring behind a new album on the next tour. I'm sure a lot of us will be complaining about them playing too many songs from Clockwork Angels! Exactly. I remember the times when I would go to a Rush show not having any idea what they would be playing. I don't EVER remember bitching about the setlist or saying they should have played this instead of that. It was always a great experience. If I ever did find something to piss and moan about, it was totally forgotten when the next song started. I never even looked at the setlists prior to S&A. I should have never started. I totally understand why people get upset if they're revealed a SPOILER. It robs you of something. I'll never stop going to see Rush. Regardless of what they play. I have noticed though that the shows aren't like they used to be if I know what they're playing beforehand. I'm going to see a counselor. I need to develop some self-control.
