losingit2k Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I went with: Subdivision Tom Sawyer The Spirit of Radio I went with those 3 since for obvious reasons. Subdivision will close up the whole Signals 30 Anniversary thing and TS and TSOR are the most popular songs ever leaving everyone, old and new with a smile on their face.

danielmclark Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I can't stand the fake concert ending. The false spontaneity of the whole thing is silly and outdated. That said, I'd pick Spirit of Radio, Limelight and Tom Sawyer, in that order. If they do it like that, I can leave my seat when TSOR starts, be at the exit by the time Limelight finishes, and I won't have to hear Tom Sawyer. Plus, I'll beat *all* the traffic getting out of the parking lot. Perfection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaminbenb Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 The R40 Underture! Jacob's Ladder Prelude Xanadu Something for Nothing Necromancer Beneath, Between, Behind In the Mood Snippets of the above, like the R30 Overture, and a full out crazy rocked out version of In The Mood to end it all!

The only bad thing with that is that when you reach your car and you just started thinking about what you're going to watch on your Cable TV since you left the concert early, instead of Limelight they go into Xanadu, and you say" Oh no!" so you turn around quickly and hit your knee on the bumber, and when you hit your knee on the bumper you begin to limp back to the concert, then by the time you've reach the gate, The Encore will be over and you'll be trampled by the stampede of over joyed fans heading towards their cars with huge smiles on their faces. So don't get trampled by a stampede, get Direct TV! Edited May 19, 2012 by losingit2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't give me some indie rock group that just played a show in Vegas last weekend either. I haven't heard or seen the spontaneous encore done since the late 70's, early 80's, and I know a hell of a lot of people who went to hundreds of rock concerts between all of them. Ozzy, Rush, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, etc and so on. I think the spontaneous encore died decades ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can think of Zappa or Dream Theater, who almost always did encores. sometimes more than one, and they would often vary. But with a very few exceptions, they would be preplanned. At the very least, it would be interesting if the thing varied each night, thus giving it a degree of suprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merely Space Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 You want a surprising encore? All of Clockwork Angels! And it's two surprises in one. You go the entire show thinking "Wow! They didn't play any new songs!" and then BAM 66 minute encore with an orchestra! The above post is for amusement purposes only, and not to be taken seriously. The poster is aware that, for many reasons, it is impossible. Please do not tell him he is dreaming, explain to him that Rush are too old to do a 66 minute encore on top of a full show, or that Rush is too predictable to ever do something like this. He knows.
