default236 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Force Ten would be so cool. But I'm sure they'll either open with something from MP or PeW. They have been for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the first set will be taken up by CA in its entirety! If we get even 3 songs form Signals in the second set it might be too much! But you never know! It might work like this: Set 1: Clockwork Angels (Entire) Set 2: Subdivision Analog kid Chemistry Digital Man The Weapon New World Man Losing It Countdown Manhattan Project Jacobs Ladder YYZ / Drum Solo Alex's Solo/ Tears Xanadu (Entire) 2112/ Temples/ Finale Encore: Limelight La Villa Strangiatto (Entire) 2nd Encore: (No Orchestra) Far Cry Tom Sawyer The Spirit of Radio Edited April 17, 2012 by losingit2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presto123 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 QUOTE (Lost In Xanadu @ Apr 15 2012, 07:33 PM) Indoors, lasers, Dreamline would be the perfect opener I agree and I'm ready to see Dreamline in the set again. I never get tired of that song for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presto123 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 There is a zero(let me repeat) zero percent chance they play all of CA AND all of Signals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drummerrobin Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 What about YYZ? It is of course a classic and it's something they've never used to open a show before. I think it would kick ass!! Far Cry would also be great imo. Not sure about Freewill or Subdivisions though. Neither of them really strike me as great show openers - Subdivisions in particular I think is just too mellow to really work. It works very well as an album opener but as a show opener, I'm not too sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way the opening of that song would be perfect for the first song of a show! As for subdivisions, I think that that would be kind of anticlamactic. It's s goods song yeah but a set opener?..... I just can't see it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echoes Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 I guess now that it looks like there's outdoor shows on this tour, 2112 wouldn't work as an opener. It wont be TSOR, they don't open with the same song two tours in a row. I doubt it'll be Limelight since it was two tours ago. Far Cry isn't enough of a "hit" to please the casual fans. It's been three tours since Tom Sawyer opened it up, so maybe it'll be that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beneathbetweenbehindyourmom Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I think they will go one of two routes, either a high energy song that they used to open with in the nineties like Force 10, Dreamline, and Animate, or just a Rush radio standard like Limelight, Tom Sawyer, or SoR. Personally I hope they open with Force 10. It kicks serious ass and I haven't seen 'em do it live yet. Although it would be nice to get Limelight out of the way early. Or Show Don't Tell would be a very pleasant surprise. Well, no matter what they open with, I'm sure there will be quite a lot of amazing old tunes in the set list that they haven't played live in a while.

Jeez it's like the board is populated by hormonal teenage females I don't know, is someone asking what do you think a band will open their show with any different than when someone asks you how do you think your favorite sports team will do in the upcoming season? They're both just questions asking your thoughts on a particular subject. Just like how it's fun to speculate about what your team will do this year, it's fun to speculate what you're favortie band will choose to open their show with on their upcoming tour. The same goes for full set predictions. Though I will admit I can't do a full set prediction for this tour until I hear the new album. It's easier to pick older songs for the set once I get a feel for what the new album is like. We're just having some fun with wondering what might be played. You know who else likes to have fun and goof around a lot? The guys in Rush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Quixote Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I could see them doing the new album in entirety in the first half, but after a couple of familiar songs. David Gilmour did this very thing with his tour for "On An Island" - early in the tour he was opening with the new album in entirety, but after a handful of shows he changed the setlist a bit and moved the Dark Side of the Moon stuff to the beginning. Then after intermission he pulled out the standards. The "Remember that Night" DVD is spectacular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
