ghostworks Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 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 Encore: La Villa Strangiato < no change Working Man < Take A Friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USB Connector Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Sawyer Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 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.

Freeze Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 (edited) 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.

Invisible To Telescopic Eye Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 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. The Spirit Of Radio < no change Time Stand Still <something else Presto < something else Stick It Out < something else Workin' Them Angels < something else Leave That Thing Alone < something else Faithless <something else BU2B * Freewill < no change Marathon < something else 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 Encore: La Villa Strangiato < no change Working Man < Take A Friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driventotheedge Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 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.

Jaminbenb Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 (edited) It is what is is....(or it was what it was ) 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! 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! They can play Polish folk songs from Geddy's youth and I'd be happy! Edited July 17, 2011 by Jaminbenb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandDesigner Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Take out Workin' Them Angels, Subdivisions, & Faithless, and stick in Grand Designs, Open Secrets, and Chain Lightning instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Whompus Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I loved the setlist! I wouldn't change it at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RushFanForever Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I wouldn't change anything at all. I was satisfied with what was performed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowItIs Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 QUOTE Stick It Out < Cut To The Chase ^this^ Otherwise, it was perfect AFAIC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apetersvt Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 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. The Spirit Of Radio < Natural Science Time Stand Still < Mission Presto < The Pass Stick It Out < Animate Workin' Them Angels < MalNar Leave That Thing Alone < no change Faithless < The Main Monkey Business BU2B * Freewill < Jacob's Ladder Marathon < Middletown Dreams Subdivisions < Analog Kid Tom Sawyer * Red Barchetta * YYZ * Limelight * The Camera Eye * Witch Hunt * Vital Signs * Caravan * Closer To The Heart < A Farewell to Kings 2112 (Overture/Temples Of Syrinx) < 2112 (Oracle/Soliloquy) Far Cry < Hope Encore: La Villa Strangiato < Hemispheres Working Man < Here Again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

Albone2112 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 The only changes I would've made would be the following: 'Cut to the Chase' for 'Stick it Out' 'The Larger Bowl' for 'Faithless' Added 'Grand Finale' to '2112' 'In the Mood' for 'Working Man' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
