Time Machine Setlist Revisited

Recommended Posts

so

 

the tour has come and gone - what did you think?

 

I thought about it for a few minutes, and wondered what I would do if I was granted the chance to pick any other song from the same album as a song that was played

 

personally, in almost all circumstances, I'd pick something else than what was played

 

what would you have switched out... if anything?

 

[songs with an ( * ) were from releases played in their entirety i.e. nothing to substitute]

 

 

The Spirit Of Radio < no change

Time Stand Still < Open Secrets

Presto < Chain Lightning

Stick It Out < Cut To The Chase

Workin' Them Angels < We Hold On

Leave That Thing Alone < Alien Shore

Faithless < Bravest Face

BU2B *

Freewill < no change

Marathon < Territories

Subdivisions < no change

Tom Sawyer *

Red Barchetta *

YYZ *

Limelight *

The Camera Eye *

Witch Hunt *

Vital Signs *

Caravan *

Closer To The Heart < Xanadu

2112 (Overture/Temples Of Syrinx) < 2112 (Grand Finale)

Far Cry < no change

I loved the setlist. It was near perfect. I saw one show during each leg and I'd be nit picking by posting the things I wanted to be changed.

 

I would have wanted:

-The original intros for Working Man and La Villa Strangiato

-A Lerxst rant during La Villa

I loved the setlist. I thought it was near perfect.

 

However, I would have substituted The Larger Bowl for Faithless.

 

Also the original intro for La Villa would have been nice. The alternate intros were fun (ny), but I still like the acoustic intro for La Villa.

The one song I really would change in the set was "Workin`Them Angels". If they had played something cool from the past instead ("Jacob`s Ladder"!!) , I wouldn`t have complained at all. Edited by Freeze

I can't tell you what I would have liked to hear in place of each song but I can tell you I would have liked to have heard a different song other than what was played at least in the first set. The second set was fine the way it was.

I also really liked the setlist and any changes would be a bit of a quibble. That said.....Armor And Sword for Faithless and maybe Animate for Stick It Out. I also was about to say The Pass for Presto, but since they had never done Presto live before and since I've seen The Pass before, I'll stay with Presto.

It is what is is....(or it was what it was confused13.gif )

 

The "want" lately seems to be Jacob's Ladder, and there was hints of it being included before the initial Time Machine tour in 2010, and everyone figured that it would be done THIS (past) tour.

 

Personally, I'd LOVE to see Rush take the stance that a lot of the jam bands take and change the setlist EVERY NIGHT! Yeah, you know they'll play Tom Sawyer, Spirit of Radio, an instrumental or two...but JUST IMAGINE if they changed it up!

 

MY GOD we'd run out of blank CDr's! applaudit.gif

 

 

The songs I'd LOVE to hear will probably never be played live again, and that's mostly stuff from Caress of Steel, and what they haven't played from Hemispheres, and A Farewell to Kings. (although Neil once commented they'd never play Working Man again so...) Jacob's Ladder is pretty much what I'd love to hear from PW (ok, they obviously played all of MP) and most of everything recorded AFTER those albums, I've either heard, or don't wish to hear....(more of Snakes and Arrows would be welcomed)

 

That said....the fact that they're still touring makes me happy beyond belief! 1022.gif They can play Polish folk songs from Geddy's youth and I'd be happy! tongue.gif

Otherwise, it was perfect AFAIC.

I'd make plenty of changes. Even if I liked the songs, I'd want to hear/see something different the next time. It pains me to substitute out La Villa, but Hemispheres is equally as good. The obvious solution for me would be to kick out all of the Presto/Counterparts/S&A tunes and replace them all with 70s classics.

How does opening with those three songs even cross your mind?

 

You've gotta get the crowd pumped right away. Not make them wanna take an hour long piss break laugh.gif

 

The songs are good in that first set but it's just so random it wouldn't flow right at all.

 

Two instrumental's in a row schla03.gif

 

I like the set they did just fine. I would've made some minor tweaks like throwing in another up tempo song before Presto and taking out SIO and Faithless and replacing them with CTTC and A&S.
