That One Guy Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Everytime I do a full playthrough of 2112, I enjoy it a lot. All the songs weren't amazing, but the album as a whole feels just right and complete. Maybe they'd have to tune the whole album down, arrange differently or whatever, but this would be an amazingly stylish move by Rush, whether on a farewell tour or not, to bust out their other masterpiece live.

Presto-a RUSH fan! Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I would love them to play 2112 (song) in its entirety but I don't think they will, at least not on the second leg of the Time Machine Tour. They probably won't play it on the Clockwork Angels tour either, especially if they have another epic song on the new album. All that said, one of my all time favorite RUSH concert memories was the first "Evening with RUSH" when they played 2112 (song) in its entirety. What an awesome concert.

nobodys hero Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 My favorite album of all the time and the one that introduced me to the band.I would LOVE to hear it all one more time live, but I doubt that will happen, with the amount of other songs to be played in their catalog.

greg2112 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Nah. they already did the song in its entirety on the TFE tour, and many of the songs, while I love them all, are not popular enough among the casual fan. I frankly think that the whole album thing begins and ends with moving pictures this tour. In 2012 we're getting a proper new album tour, which some nice classic thrown in, just like S and A.

rushgoober Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Is there any way Geddy could even sing that anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IChoseFreeWill Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 The entire song 2112? Perhaps. The entire album 2112? Nope. Way too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMWriter Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 YES. (Song.) ...... Please no. (Album.) "2112" is my favourite song, hands-down, even though there are several other songs that come close (but I guess not really when I think about it). I just love everything about "2112" and am so sad when they only play the first part. I want to scream, "That's only the beginning of the story!!!!" I saw a bootleg once of "2112" live in its entirety. I envied the cameraperson. But I also kind of wanted to kill them because the video was about 90% Geddy, 10% Lerxst, and the camera occasionally passing by Neil when it got jostled. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowtothesky Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I think they should open up the concert with the Discovery part of 2112. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReflectedLight Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 it's not happening but i would be even more amazed if they could play lessons or something for nothing. again not happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbo Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I would love for this to happen, but dammit, can Geddy still sing some of those notes? I voted for the cowbell because damn, I gotta fever, and you get it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 It can't and won't happen. Have you heard Geddy's voice this tour at all? While by no means is it bad, you honestly think even with the songs tuned down that he'd be able to pull off the full album night after night for a full tour now? He's got a hard time even pulling off TOS now and even on CTTH he's not getting the higher notes. It's a cool idea but Geddy just won't be able to do it. That's why they only play a few songs from the 70s now. As far as the song in full goes it's possible but I doubt that either. Besides I saw them play 2112 three times on the T4E tour so i'm good over here I voted 'No. I suck' by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cygnus_thegodofbalance Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 No. I always thought 2112 was overrated, plus they just did it 4 tours ago. It's more than likely that we'll never see it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That One Guy Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 QUOTE (Cowtothesky @ Dec 14 2010, 08:17 AM) I think they should open up the concert with the Discovery part of 2112. That just side tracked me to a good idea. Close off the first set with Overture/Temples, intermission, and open the second set with Discovery/Presentation/Soliloquy/Grand Finale. I see mixed reaction, no suprise. Yes, I did mean the whole album, but I do agree that since Rush is extended full MP into 2011, they'll probably be done with full albums after it. Oh well. If Rush is tired of playing some part of 2112 all tour every tour, one could only dream some of Hemispheres Book 2 would be played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun3701 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I was able to witness them play the entire song on the T4E tour. Unfortunately at the time I was unfamiliar with the album, so I had no appreciation for what I was seeing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2112Oracle Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I think it may be possible, but, it is an older record. And nice addition of the cowbell...Christopher Walken's a genius. So, yes, it can be possible, but, I wouldn't hold my breath on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMWriter Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 QUOTE (metaldad @ Dec 15 2010, 11:22 AM) Already saw it . Give me Hemi next Normally here's where I'd say something like, "How about us newbie fans who must keep the memory alive 60 years down the road?" but I really do like "Hemispheres". Admittedly, not as much as "2112", but it's a really, really neat song. Show me another lyricist who can tie in Greek mythology to some guy coming out the other end of a black hole (or something to that effect) and I'll cease my obsession with both parts of Cygnus X-1. ;P (That episode of Star Trek with Apollo-with-a-really-tiny-tunic does not count.)
