What is confusing about this statement?

I doubt this actually happened. Weren't you on a pee break then anyways? If it did, it was probably a few bloated, drunk guys who came to hear "Limelight".   No true fan of the band with an ounce of class would behave this way at a Rush show.

As soon as they got through the SnA set and Ged started the Subdivisions keys the place exploded. Some songs are good studio songs that don't translate well live and I really think that is the case with the majority of SnA.

Subdivisions did blow the place apart lol - it was definately clever placement.   But the crowd seemed very receptive (to me) during the Snakes songs. The Way the Wind Blows was particularly stellar.   The only time I ever really noticed any sort of "backlash" towards new music was during the HYF tour - and again, it was the usual suspects - drunken idiots throwing beer, ect.

[Steel Rat]

I'm definitely the first to admit that Rush's new music isn't nearly as great as its old music; but it's different. The new/old variety makes for an excellent show. And the newer the songs get, the more they're tailored toward the huge, expensive live experience. The new songs are loud, they pack a thunderous kick, and surround you with their explosive warmth, as opposed to the old music that hits you directly with volleys of tight, disciplined, laser-guided bullets.

Personally, I like to hear the new stuff as well as my old favorites. The new stuff is music they are excited about. It's music that they have just recently created and they want to share their joy with us. Seriously, anyone who doesn't at least GET that (even if they don't like it) has no business filling up a seat that a truly appreciative fan might want.

Alex's guitar solo's came back with S&A. He always crafted awesome ones. I look forward to some new ones.

What we've seen in recent years, recent tours, is that Rush are finally "getting it." The makeup of the audience at a Rush concert is mostly diehard fans who want to hear deep cuts, NOT "casual concert goers" waiting for "Closer to the Heart," and I think they now know it. That's why songs like "Between Sun and Moon," "Between the Wheels," "Circumstances," and "Digital Man" have appeared (or re-appeared) in their setlists.

I'd prefer they split new songs throughout the show. Yeah I didnt think that was smart either. I saw them at PNC and the place was just dead for at least 20 solid minutes. There were not very many people there standing up. And most of the ones that were, were heading on beer runs and bathroom breaks. Then when they started Subdivisions then the place blew up.   I realized they dont even need to put out any new music. They can just do tour after tour of old songs because many of their current fans obviously were not loving the new stuff when I was there. I think at least 90% of that place was there to hear the old stuff.   They really should have split all of them up.

I guess it's a matter of perception but I just don't agree with this, I'm really happy with those rare songs Rush has been playing because their shows have been longer since 1996 but the crowds for all these older rock bands are overwhelmingly the types that mostly only know what they hear on greatest hits albums and classic rock radio. It's just apparent from the reactions to those songs. [2112 Overture/Temples, Closer to the Heart, The Trees, The Spirit of Radio, Freewill, Tom Sawyer, Red Barchetta, YYZ, Limelight, Subdivisions] - Those 10 songs are what 90% of the crowd are there to hear on any given night and they're expected by those fans on every tour. That's no slam on the band because it's not unique to them, it's just an honest observation of the typical classic rock music fan or concert-goer in general.   I'm seeing this same thing on Van Halen's forum. VH has been going above and beyond pulling out rare old songs every few shows that they barely even played when they were new plus the new album has gotten rave reviews and is universally popular with the VH fans who bothered to get it and yet a common rant on their forum is that as soon as something is played that is not a typical VH "radio song" the bulk of the crowd plops down in their seat whether it's new or an old rarity. As much as the hardcores are tired of the the same old overplayed songs like Jump, Panama, and Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love and want them retired they are the very songs the crowd jumps out of their seat for every time. For old bands like Rush and VH and others that reaction has everything to do with the fact that a huge part of the crowd only knows those songs.   When Rush plays either several new songs or whether they play several of the more obscure songs in a row and then plays a signature song the reaction is the same. And it's evident that it's not "Finally! Something I like!" it's more "Finally! Something I know!" People remarked about the enthusiastic reaction Subdivisions got after 5 S&A songs but I saw 5 shows on that tour (3 on the first leg, 2 on the second) and the exact same thing happened in the first set. The crowd was all standing when the band came on stage and through Limelight, and then progressively through Digital Man, Entre Nous, and Mission, the entire crowd sat down and tuned out and many either left their seats or just started talking and not even watching the show. The bulk of the crowd simply doesn't even know what they are. At the very first notes of Freewill the whole crowd jumped up or ran back to their seats as a group and you could practically see a "Hey, I know this one!" thought bubble over their heads.   On the Time Machine tour the first 4 songs of MP still got a much better reaction than The Camera Eye got at the 2 shows I went to. And I was in the 3rd row dead center for the Austin show of the Counterparts tour and the instant The Analog Kid started the 2 people in front of me were yelling/talking to each other trying to figure out what song it was and one finally managed to convince the other that it must be a new song because it didn't seem very familiar. I laughed. These people were in the second row for crap's sake and didn't even know what song it was. I've seen this for all of my roughly 30 Rush shows covering over 25 years and at countless other classic rock bands' shows. I'd bet serious money that if you polled the people coming in the gates at the shows the vast majority couldn't even name more than 30 Rush songs.     Observation/rant over.   By the way, I'm really not as upset with that as it seems, after all, the casual fans are what support the scale of the tours/shows and that's a good thing. But the fans like us that hang out on fan forums who claim things like "The band should just do a B sides tour" or "The crowd would go crazy if they played all of Caress of Steel" are just projecting their fantasies onto a bunch of people who couldn't care less for the most part.

Grover Collins is one of the radio people that heard Headlong Flight from a Roadrunner rep, then commented on it. A couple days ago, and again today, Grover Collins tweeted that "Headlong Flight" would be available on iTunes on 4/24.

 

Grover All Over

 

Some twit should ask him what the heck he is talking about.

 

If that's true, I seriously hope they are not going to f-ing release this album one song at a time digitally prior to making the whole CD album available.

He also said on March 30th about HF:

 

 

"I'm in radio. Its the new single. Will be out this week to radio."

 

 

I'm sure he means well but I have no confidence in what he says. If HF is on the radio by Friday then I'll take him more seriously.

[Rushman14]

oooh from RIAB

 

We learned last week that Headlong Flight is the title of the first single that will be released from Rush's upcoming Clockwork Angels album. Roadrunner began shopping the single out to various folks in the radio industry last Wednesday setting the Twittersphere abuzz with reactions - all very positive. The track is about 7.5 minutes long and has been described as epic by those who have heard it along with some comparisons to By-tor and the Snow Dog and mid-70s Rush. You can read all the reactions in this post. I'd initially heard that the single will be released to radio on April 19th but now have some more details. Apparently there will be a very limited (probably just a one-off spin) preview release on select stations next Wednesday, April 11th. Then the track will be released on a limited number of stations April 19-20th. The general radio release along with a digital release on iTunes and other formats will occur on Tuesday, April 24th. More information as I learn it.

 

 

[Rush-O-Matic]

From RIAB:

New partial info on release

 

So, just the single then?

[Unobtrusive Companion]

Just posted on RIAB, single will be given a special airing (probably one spin on a select few stations) on Wednesday 11th April, with more stations getting it on 19th-20th, then a general release to radio and iTunes on 24th April.
