ThinkingBig Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 (edited) Looking back at previous set lists, starting with signals, it seems like 6 is the magic number. They never played less than 4 new songs, and topped out at 9 on the first leg of the S&N. (NINE!!!, jesus did they love that album.) Anyway, assuming Caravan, BU2B, and Headlong are gimmes, what are the top picks for the other 3 new songs we want to hear live? I'm going with the title track, 4)CA 5) The Anarchist 6) Seven Cities of Gold With all the hype and promotion of this new album, I'm betting we're looking at a SEVEN or an EIGHT on the new song scale. So, I'll pick The Garden and Wish Them Well as the bonus tracks. As this may be one of the last RUSH tours, I really hope they keep it down to 6 new songs and really explore their history and give ALL the fans something to ROCK out to. Especially us old-timers (pre-1981). Edited June 4, 2012 by ThinkingBig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielmclark Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 After hearing the whole thing, I hope they play the entire album in the first set. That's how much I'm digging this thing. But limiting it... I like your choices. Caravan, BU2B, Headlong Flight, Clockwork Angels, Anarchist, Seven Cities. Throw in Wish Them Well and The Garden if they push it to 8 songs.

ReflectedLight Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 i think we're looking at the 6-8 range but i'd say closer to 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
default236 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Well I have yet to hear it, but playing eight songs would fit the S&A trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying Finn Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 (edited) I can't pick. I'd really like to hear almost every song but playing more than 8 would be overkill. Actually I think 7 is good amount and then play the rest in next tour. If I had to pick seven best songs I would choose: Caravan, BU2B, Carnies, The Anarchist, The Wreckers, Headlong Flight and The Garden Edited June 4, 2012 by Flying Finn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThinkingBig Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 QUOTE (FountainOfSyrinx @ Jun 4 2012, 11:29 AM) Seven Cities, Clockwork Angels, The Wreckers I'm starting to dig The Wreckers more and more. But if they do bring a string section, I guess The Garden is in for sure. I'm starting to have mixed feelings about Wish Them Well... beyond the lyrical hook, not much there that stands out.

losingit2k Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I actually wan to hear the entire album live. It's a concpet album and I would like to have a live representation of it. After hearing the clips I don't think there is going to be a bad track in the entire album. Hence, play it all and move on from Clockwork Angels looking forward. I don't want to have to wait years to listen to it live. Do it now. Cause they don't have so many years left as they did when they recorded 2112. But If I had to choose: Clockwork Angels The Anarchist Carnies Seven Cities of Gold The Wreckers The Garden I think 9 is going to be the magic number if they dont play the entire work.

Running Rebel Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 It is funny how some people complain about wanting them to play a song they've never played live, but will complain about them playing new songs they've never seen them play live.

GUP1771 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Geddy said they want to play a lot of the new material, so I'm thinking 8 or so like others have mentioned. I'd like to see at least these played: Clockwork Angels The Anarchist The Wreckers Headlong Flight The Garden Since we heard Caravan and BU2B on the last tour, I could live without them (although I'd love to hear them again), which would allow them to play all of the new material except Wish Them Well and BU2B2.

This is "Clockwork Angels tour" not some "Wishlist tour" so i would be happy if they will play ENTIRE album. "Must be" for me are : Clockwork Angels The Anarchist 7 Cities The Wreckers Headlong Flight BU2B2 (not likely unfortunetlly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix87 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 If they do 6 new songs I would like to hear: 1. Carnies 2. Headlong Flight 3. Bu2b (already saw it once, but I love it) 4. Halo Effect 5. 7 Cities of Gold 6. The garden I love this album so much, that I wouldn't mind them playing it in its entirety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deckiller Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 1st set could be simple: start with Tom Sawyer and then do Clockwork Angels in its entirety with a shortened Headlong Flight and Wish Them Well. 65 minutes. 2nd set could be mostly classic stuff, with only one song from VT and one from Snakes and Arrows.

That works, but why Tom Sawyer to open? Caravan works as an opener, and they can just do the whole album. Leave Tom Sawyer for the opening of the second set, I'm thinking... I wouldn't mind 2-3 from VT, but yeah, one from VT and one from SNA would be good. Definitely time to back off SNA a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
