SchemingDemon Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) EDIT: This probably should be in the tour section, my bad Well, Alex basically confirmed in the interview in snowdog2112's thread that they're considering busting out a few tracks never heard live before. QUOTE (Alex)We`ve been throwing about set lists for the last couple of weeks and the length of the set is creeping up to over 4 hours so we`ll have to reign it in and fine tune it. There`ll be a good portion of new material and some older stuff that we`ll be revisiting that you haven`t heard in a long time. There`s also a couple that we haven`t played live before that we`re thinking about doing. There`s quite a few in contention for the final set list. Say they'll play three previously unheard songs. Which songs would you love to hear? Also, what do you think they WILL play? I really want to hear Everyday Glory, Open Secrets, and Vapor Trail. My guess is that they actually will play Vapor Trail and Cut to the Chase. Not sure why I have this gut feeling Vapor Trail will be busted out Here's the full list: Take A Friend Before And After Making Memories Rivendell The Fountain Of Lamneth Lessons Tears Madrigal Different Strings Losing It Emotion Detector Open Secrets Second Nature Tai Shan High Water Chain Lighting Anagram Red Tide Hand Over Fist Available Light Face Up The Big Wheel Heresy Neurotica You Bet Your Life Cut To The Chase Alien Shore Speed Of Love Everyday Glory The Color Of Right Totem Dog Years Carve Away The Stone Peaceable Kingdom The Stars Look Down How It Is Vapor Trail Sweet Miracle Nocturne Freeze Out Of The Cradle Bravest Face Good News First We Hold On Edited May 22, 2012 by SchemingDemon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowdog2112 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Not really criticizing your thread but they've done this every single tour now for a while so we didn't really need Alex to tell us this. Plus, no matter what they might be considering now a whole lot of it won't survive rehearsals. Of all the older songs they haven't played the only one I consider realistic would be Different Strings. Now, they could certainly (and likely will) play at least one more old song that hasn't been played in ages like maybe Something For Nothing or In the End but out of that list Different Strings is the only one up through about Vapor Trails that I can see them playing. If they play something like Different Strings and add something that hasn't been played since it was new like The Enemy Within or Prime Mover I'd consider that freaking awesome. Vapor Trail would be a good choice and is realistic but I just can't see them playing any of the vast majority of that list, even Cut to the Chase. I'd love to hear it though.

Available Light is freaking awesome, but I just don't see it working live. Go listen to it and really pay attention to what you're hearing and then visualize it on stage. Not gonna happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclonus X-1 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Seems like a lot of us have this gut feeling about Vapor Trail. There are so many tunes on that list that I'd love to hear. Some of them don't really stand a chance (e.g., Rivendell, The Fountain of Lamneth). But maybe, just maybe, the band will give some thought to Emotion Detector, Available Light, Alien Shore, or Losing It. Not likely, but maybe. My #1 choice would be The Color of Right, but I just don't see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My #1 choice would be The Color of Right, but I just don't see it happening. On that list probably my #1, at least from the albums in the last 30 years or so, would be Totem. From older albums it would be Different Strings. Emotion Detector would kick ass, I just think songs like that one and Open Secrets and Losing It are too keyboard heavy for the band to want to do these days, I just don't think they'd be into it. But who knows? They still do some keyboard songs obviously but having never played any of those before I just don't see them relearning all that.

I know quite a few of them definitely won't happen (TFOL, Tears, etc) but it's always fun to imagine. I'd say maybe 10 of those on the list are true possibilities.

Like I said, I didn't mean that it's not a worthy topic, I just wouldn't get too excited about stuff that isn't realistic. Strangely though, now that I think about it, Tears may not be all that crazy. The way The Garden has been described I could almost see them going from that into Tears. Tears would be awesome with a string section if they do go that route, although I'm still skeptical they'll have real strings on stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merely Space Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I'd love Different Strings, Vapor Trail, or We Hold On. I'm also skeptical about about an orchestra, but if they did, Losing It would be a shame to pass up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count me in on the gut-feeling-about-Vapor-Trail bandwagon! It seems like a pretty popular choice.... it handily won the which-song-off-VT-do-ya-wanna-hear-live? poll. If they bust it out, I might start bawling like an infant. It's one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merely Space Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 To be honest, there's only a few songs on the never played list that I'd die to hear anymore. But songs they've only played once or not in twenty years is a goldmine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying Finn Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Not many songs I'd like to hear. I do like Different Strings and Losing It but because Rush have never played them there is a reason. They probably don't want to use samples or playback for the piano and violin respectively. There are few ok songs though. Cut to the Chase is one of the better songs of Counterparts so I'd like to hear that one. Available Light is allright too. However I hope that the boys pass Presto this time completely. Vapour Trail is never been my favourite. There are better songs in that album and two songs would be too much for that album. Like others have said I hope they rather play songs that they have not played in long time like The Weapon, Manhattan Project, Prime Mover, Turn the Page, Test for Echo and so on.

I could have sworn that I saw Open Secrets played live during the HYF tour. Definitely never played live. The Hold Your Fire tour's setlist was completely static which didn't happen again until the R30 tour. It was the exact same set every night and Open Secrets, Second Nature, Tai Shan, and High Water weren't played on that tour or any tour since.
