Nate2112 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 What's so special about it? When Synth Sense did his sigs why did he make a GUP tour one. It makes as much sense if they did a CP tour one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synth Sense Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Those 7 additional sigs I put up later on were supposed to represent any official live recordings/videos. The P/G tour happened to have a video (and audio version) for it, and so I made a sig for it. Same reason why I did a second Snakes & Arrows sig.

It makes as much sense if they did a CP tour one Even though your question is more "why was there a sig?" rather than the actual "what's so great about it?"

HowItIs Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Can't speak for anyone else but for me it was so special because I sat directly in front of Alex for the whole show. I'm talking right up next to the stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lerxt1990 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Intro (Three Stooges theme) The Spirit of Radio Subdivisions The Body Electric Fear (Parts I-III): - The Enemy Within - The Weapon - Witch Hunt New World Man Between the Wheels Red Barchetta Distant Early Warning Red Sector A Closer To The Heart (extended instumental break first added Sept. 14) Afterimage (replaced by Kid Gloves beginning Sept. 14) YYZ 2112 (Temples of Syrinx) Tom Sawyer Encore: Red Lenses (bass solo added beginning Oct. 18) Drum Solo (moved to follow YYZ beginning Oct. 18) Red Lenses Vital Signs Finding My Way In The Mood I'll tell you why I liked it (amongst the reasons already listed) - cause the encore was awesome. Coming back onto stage with (edit: meaning including) Vital Signs, a simply awesome underrated song, just killed. Then add a dose of old time goodness and the hand clapping ITM.. and it was AWESOME. Cheers to the GuP tour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spitball Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 It was a tough setlist for me, who really struggled to like GUP when it was released. Omitting Overture was like an arrow in my heart. Looking back, I now think GUP was a very interesting album, worthy of hearing live. I wouldn't mind of they did GUP in its entirety live. Er, they could leave out DEW and I'd let it slide...

ytserush Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Only five songs 4 years old or older. What's not to like? They've never done a set like that ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I saw them, I believe, the second night of the Radio City Music Hall concerts. It was fantastic! And Marillion got booed...mercifully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Marillion getting booed....and joining in the booing. Honestly, I didn't know anything about Marillion. I couldn't tell you if they were actually decent or not. I was just extremely impatient to have Rush take the stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nappy2112 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I've said it before and I'll say it again , that was one pathetic setlist. I remember them opening the encore with Red Lenses and thinking I hope this is a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember them opening the encore with Red Lenses and thinking I hope this is a joke. Yeah, I was shocked by the '84 setlist. The only older material they played was a small sampling of the stuff they ALWAYS played, only much less of it. That was the one tour where they really flipped the bird to their old material, and to many fans, whether intentionally or not. I forgot about the red lenses encore....I'm sure I was shocked by that. When they went bypassed 2112 Overture and went directly into Temples, I thought I was listening to Rush on a K-Tel album. As I mentioned earlier, I appreciate GUP now much more than in '84, but that really was a bad setlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygnals Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 This is the tour I first got to see Rush live, so it holds a pretty special place in my mind! I dug the setlist--and to hear Afterimage live was great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
