Ohhhh, I have a better Idea....

Perhaps they should reschedule the entire tour for when they release the new friggin album, or at least change the setlist!

Trust me, there have been a few unhappy fans that have proposed things with equal levels of insanity. It's hard to detect sarcasm on the internet without a some kind of emoticon or previous post to suggest absurdity.

I can see why you would disagree with all of this, but the band has the right to do things the way they want. I'm not justifying the postponement of the dates, in fact I'm with you on that one. On the other hand, if Rush doesn't want to make changes to the setlist or record/release any new songs, that's their choice. It's quite obvious they're going to be throwing in the towel after CA.

[M M C X I I]

Considering the second leg hasn't even kicked off yet, no one knows 100% if there won't be a set list change.

 

Just because they say they are doing one thing doesn't mean they are going to do it. Who is to say they haven't finished another single ready to play for this set? Not likely, but it is possible in some reality.

Yes! We agree. I've been beating around the bush and you got right to it! What I've been trying to say all along is that I think we're witnessing the beginning of the end. There are so many things going on here that are just so..... Un-Rush.

Enjoy them while they're still around fellow er. At least you've had (according to your other thread) many years of Rush. I only got into them after they finished the S&A tour, so I've missed some amazing stuff.

But you don't understand. There are a small group of individuals who are just certain that they are the only 10 or 12 Rush fans in the world and the band must do their bidding.

I must admit I was somewhat annoyed by getting the same setlist again. Then my buddies and I thought about it and now I just see an opportunity. We have a different seating location this time that will afford us a full view of the lighting, we get to hear MP live again AND we'll be at The World's Most Famous Arena and it's a sellout.

[Syrinx]

I have to admit I am disappointed and quite frankly uninterested in this tour. By the way, I thought the first post exuded sarcasm for what its worth. I have followed Rush and seen them live since 1975. If they are actually going with zero set list changes this time, to me that smacks of "laziness" and opportunism. For the first time I can remember, I have little interest in going to see them. Call me a hater if you like, but you will find very few on this board who have been a fan longer than me. And I will state that Rush has been a very important part of my life for a long time.

[HemispheresserehpsimeH]

I can understand people being disappointed if they're going to see a second show on this leg. However, this leg is about them visiting places they didn't play on the first leg, so it's really not about you. It's for people who wanted to see them last time, but probably didn't have the chance.

 

I went to a show on the first leg of the tour, and now I'm going to a show on the second leg. Doesn't bother me in the slightest.
