The Next Tour after Clockwork Angels

[1 of the 7]

I voted new album because that's what I'd like, but R40/45 is more realistic.

[GeddyLeeFender]

I would love a new album, and all epics would honestly kinda destroy Geddy at his age vocally (it would destroy ANYONE) that being said any new Rush or tours is always welcome

I went with the All Epics Tour! I would really like to see that! the Set list would look like this! Set 1: The Camera Eye (Entire) Jacobs Ladder Clockwork Angels Here Again By - Tor & the Snowdog The Necromancer 2112 (Entire) Set 2: Natural Science Working Man Fountain of Lamneth MalNar/ Drum Solo Alex's Solo/ Cygnus X-1 Hemispheres (Entire) Xanadu (Entire) Encore: La Villa Strangiatto Tom Sawyer The Spirit of Radio Nice Tour!

Really can't get much better than that (I would substitute TS and TSoR with something else, but I understand those songs are staples). Well done.

 

Epics all the way for me.

Well done.   Epics all the way for me. They say that an all ep;ics tour would destroy geddy's voice! I don't think so! The Only song that would be hard to sing would be Hemispheres and they could just tone down for that! just about everything else has been performed durimg the last four tours! ( The camera Eye, Natural Science, 2112 Entire, working Man, By Tor & The Snow Dog, Xanadu, Cygnus X1, and La Villa Strangiatto have all been performed live since the Test for Echos Tour! The Only songs that need rehashing would be The Fountain of Lamneth, Hemispheres, Here again, The Necromancer and Jacobs Ladder. Clockwork Angels I'm sure will be fine! LOL

[Tick]

I predict the next tour will be the last.

[Tony R]

As much as I love instrumentals a set list comprised entirely of them would probably drag.

 

I don't see Rush doing a farewell tour either.

2014 would mean 30 years of GUP. So - the second set should be the mighty mighty GUP in its entirety and a number of 80s gems, partly from deep in the vaults (Open Secrets, Red Tide and Losing It being my personal No. 1 choices). For the first half - The first LP will be 40 then. Though I'm not sure I would want to here that in its entirety. Here Again and Before And After would be slick, though. And there's still time left to play the obvious standards. Won't happen? Right, I'll go with the CA tour and hope they come to Germany again.

I'd like to see this too. A real b-sides tour. We may not get the most requested songs or an all epics tour. But a short b-sides tour recorded and released as an album would be nice. 3-4 night stand somewhere in the country with all the little perks of home to make it worth their while.

 

Maybe they'll just play the obscure songs that they like, at the moment. Realistcally thats all they'll ever play since their so adamant and opionionated about the past material. Second Nature, maybe, add in Different Strings, Vapor Trail, How It Is, etc.

A Mostly Instrumental tour would look like this:

 

Set 1:

 

Instrumedley:

(Finding My Way/ By Tor & The Snow Dog/ The Necromancer/ Something for Nothing/ Cygnux X1/ Hemispheres (Prelude)/Freewill)

Limelight

Caravan

Where's My Thing?

Leave that thing Alone!

Limbo

Main Monkey Business

Show Don't Tell

Driven (With Bass Solo)

Jacobs Ladder

Hope/ Closer to the Heart (Extended)

 

Set 2:

 

2nd Instrumedley:

(Working Man/ Anthem/ No One at The Bridge/ A Passage to Bangkok/ A Farwell to Kings/ Circumstances)

The Spirit of Radio

Tom Sawyer

New Instrumental

New Instrumental 2

CA Instrumental

Mal Nar/ Drum Solo (with Didacts and Narpets)

Broon's Bane/ The Trees

Xanadu (Entire)

2112/ Temples/ Finale

 

Encore:

Far Cry

La Villa Strangiatto

YYZ

 

At least it would save Geddy's Voice for another tour !

Best setlist suggestion on this site!

[Union 5-3992]

I wouldn't want to see a tour with Rush & an orchestra. It would detract from the power of the trio. I may pay to see an orchestra pay tribute to Rush (like the ones that tribute Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd)

[LeaveMyThingAlone]

The next tour after Clockwork Angels will be Neil Peart doing a booksigning tour. This tour will likely be their last

[greg2112]

I dont think theyll ever do an all epics tour. Theyre making way too much money doing the standard new song/old song setlist theyre doing now.

 

IF they do a tour after this one I think it will definitely be a Farewell tour.

[different strings]

I think they will do an R40 tour in 2014 which may well turn out to be their last. They have said on numerous occasions that they will not do a FAREWELL TOUR.

Whats with all the speculation about them ending it so soon? You guys sound like you WANT them to go away! Ive read a recent quote from Neil that he hasnt hit the wall yet and he'll play until he's physically unable to, and Ged said about the same thing. Frankly, as long as theyre playing well and making new music that doesnt suck, I say let them play until they can barely stand up at the mic, and even THEN thats what wheelchairs are for!!!

I'm not even sure there will be a tour after CA. Have they hinted this might be the last studio record?

These guys are old. The band could end at any time. There's no point at all even discussing future tours beyond what's coming up. No way to know if they will even be around anymore.

[Spindrift82]

After Geddy's vocal trouble on the last tour, I am a bit worried.

 

He needs to take better care of his voice. Touring more is not a good option.

That's a fair point even though some folks will probably see it as a negative comment (I don't). It might serve his voice better if they did a few less concert dates and have a longer break in between two legs of a tour.

No, damn it. For Rush fans you guys certainly MISS a lot of information. THEY ARE SIGNED TO A TWO RECORD DEAL WITH ROADRUNNER TWO. NOT ONE. Gah, sorry, but i'm tired of hearing "It's definitely the last one." Look at the press release. or somewhere, I know I saw it somewhere around that time! Anyway!! I chose all epics, but I'd really take TFOL and Hemispheres out (the two best. lol.) because RIP GEDDY'S VOICE.

Just because they signed a two record deal, that could easily mean one studio album (Clowckwork Angels) and one of their now customary live albums from the tour for the album. That would give them two album and fullfill the contract, unless the deal is for two studio albums. No idea what the terms are.
