ReflectedLight Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 QUOTE (LeaveMyThingAlone @ Feb 2 2011, 10:21 PM) I was jumping in a lot of the threads telling everyone this would be the case, but I dont think anyone wanted to believe me....they were having too much speculating I've been a fan of this band too long and I think I know them too well. I get tired of being right, and wish I wasn't this time...but this is SOOOOO Rush. They just dont sway from the norm. They don't change things up. Not their style. Even when the announcement of a "very special return to Los Angeles" was made, I was thinking to myself there's no way they do anything too unusual and , alas, it's special because of 2 shows. that's the special return to la? these guys are losing me.

hippy Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 To me this is good news. Being from "old blighty" I'm so looking forward to the tour coming over here. I think the setlist is great (even Faithless) and would be gutted if they left out anything from last year. An example was on the Snakes and Arrows tour. Happily they played Entre Nous when then came to the UK, but dropped it the following year for Ghost Of A Chance. Don't get me wrong, I like GOAC but would rather have heard EN. Likewise, I'd be gutted if I missed out on Presto, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Given that on the 2010 leg of the tour, I was just praying for it to be captured, as is, on DVD. Knowing that it'll happen, I've got nothing to complain about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReflectedLight Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 another thing i don't get is they know alot of the people that saw the first leg will be attending the second leg also. knowing that, why not change at least a few songs for the many that are forking out money to see them again?

Yeah....and why not drive us all to the gig? And serve us breakfast in bed the next morning? And customize the set list to the individual tastes of every one of the half-million people they'll play to on this leg of the tour.

Maybe it was because people thought it was a great show and they WANT to see it again. Maybe Rush has managed to brainwash people using Neil's drum solos. Maybe the fabric of reality is beginning to shear away as people start enjoying the same thing more than once! Seriously dude, get a grip, just because you and a few others didn't like the setlist doesn't mean for account for a majority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry single out the above post, because this is really directed to all you "set-list-whiners." But some of you people need to get a grip. When they closed Winterland, Bill Graham provided breakfast for everyone in attendance (and the band only repeated 4 songs from the previous night's show). I know the band is "set in their ways" in regards to not changing setlists during tours, but if other bands can do it, certainly they can as well.

Rick4001 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 cajun boy, this should have been considered a spoiler. I was planning to be surprised, thanks a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GernTheFish Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I'm a little surprised by this also. Seems like they'd want to change things up a bit to keep it exciting for the fans and for themselves.

And what exactly does that have to do with being able to perhaps play them?? Right. If I remember correctly, during the GUP warmup tour they previewed a few songs that had yet to be recorded for that album. This non-change only affects those who saw a show last year. It seems the goal of this second leg is to visit cities they didn't visit last year, or had not visited in a while (or at all). So, lots of people who missed it last year will get to see the same show everyone else saw. Just trying to look at the glass as half-full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, lots of people who missed it last year will get to see the same show everyone else saw. They skipped Arizona in 2010 for the first time since I've been a fan (GUP), so I'm psyched to see them in my hometown again. Yes, I did travel last year to see two shows last year (WA and LV), so it would have been cool to see them maybe swap out a couple of songs in 2011. Still, I have no hesitiation about attending again. Edited February 3, 2011 by PariahDog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I know i'm going bald Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 We dont have a problem in Europe as this will be the first Time Machine Tour over here. But they dont come to these shores that often ! Bring it on ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janie Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I could not care less about the set list. I want to see my favorite band play whatever songs they want. I am really looking forward to this show. I'm into Rush, I think, more than ever... which I didn't think could be possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
