Drummerrobin Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Thought it would be interesting to see people's views on this. I've always thought these songs were quite underrated and I'd personally love to hear them played in order live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethOfSyrinx Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Sounds like a great idea! Agreed, the Fear series is quite underrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micgtr71 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I will go for this. Would be interesting to see how the fourth installation fits with the rest of the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apetersvt Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I could "take it or leave it". It would definately be cool, but there are a lot of other songs that I'd rather hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILSnwdog Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 All four songs rock, so it would be awesome to hear all four in concert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenJennings Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 The Enemy Within and Freeze are two of the best songs in Rush's catalog. So yes, absolutely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losingit2k Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 (edited) I voted No: Not because I don't want to hear it! I just feel for time constraints there are many other song I rather hear Live! Jacobs Ladder Cut to the Chase Middletown Dreams Lock & Key Countdown Where's My Thing? Cold Fire Vapor Trails Test For Echo Show Don't Tell Available Light All songs never caught Live on Video Prior to me would be more Interesting than the now Quadrilogy! If I wanted to see the Trilogy - Freeze, I just pop in The Grace Under Pressure Tour! This Quadrilogy is best left for their Farewell Tour. We're going to get enough songs from Clockwork Angles on the next tour to throw these four in as well. Go Ahead: Crucify Me!

LyndseyG Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Absolutely YES!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMWriter Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Absolutely yes!! Why? Because then we'd get to hear "The Weapon"! (And I really really like "The Enemy Within" too... And even "Witch Hunt" is from MP; great album all around. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddyRulz Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 No, thank you. That would eat up close to 30 minutes of their show, or roughly one-sixth to one-fifth of it. It's a huge chunk of time to devote to the Fear Series; time that could be better used on stronger tracks. Besides, I've already seen parts 1-3 played live (GUP tour), in a row, and seen "Witch Hunt" a few other times since, alone. I think a half-hour of "Fear" would put the more casual fans to sleep, and possibly even this diehard fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nappy2112 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 No , seen it in '84 and it was part the most lame Rush setlist ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdFireYYZ Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I wouldn't want to see it. Freeze is a decent song but I wouldn't want to see it live and while I love The Enemy Within, I'd rather have them play something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USB Connector Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 That sounds incredibly bland. They are good songs but I find that The Weapon and Witch Hunt are massive energy suckers, that's generally bad for a concert. Witch Hunt worked well on MP because it calmed the audience down a little after YYZ and TCE, so it fit nicely. Have two of those energy sucking songs (don't forget how much longer The Weapon is) would be a catastrophe. Besides, there are a lot of other songs that I would want to hear first. Besides, we heard part III during this tour. I say bring out 2112 in full instead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind The Weapon being in the set, but back to back with Witch Hunt (which I find to be quite boring, as I've said elsewhere recently, I think) would be a train wreck.

KenJennings Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 A half hour is a long piece? Seriously?? I think Rush should do a tour of smaller venues, and they should play some of their deeper cuts and longer tracks. Sell to the hardcore fans: screw the 'casual' fans. I'd pay up for it, $100 would be well worth it to see Rush play somewhere like the Minneapolis 1st Ave nightclub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 of the 7 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I voted "pretty cool" instead of awesome because Freeze is my least favorite Rush song, and Witch Hunt, while fabulous, was just heard last tour. But if that's what it takes to get The Weapon and The Enemy Within, count me in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddysMullet Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I voted "would be pretty cool," but I'm actually a touch less enthusiastic than that, because though I'd love to hear The Weapon, The Enemy Within and Freeze, I've really kinda had enough of Witch Hunt by now.

Scars Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 While I voted an emphatic "yes," I think it's mostly because of my incredible itch to hear The Enemy Within live. I don't particularly care to hear Witch Hunt again, and I really don't have a huge fondness to hear Freeze. The Weapon, however, would be awesome. Maybe just parts I and II for the tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
