New Song Live: The Rule of 6


Recommended Posts

Here's another option: do what Dream Theater did in the mid 90s with A Change of Seasons and split the concept album into three parts! Start with three classics, then Malignant Narcissism, then play Caravan through The Wreckers. Come back and start with Headlong Flight, BU2B2, and Wish Them Well. 3 more classics, then the drum solo, then The Garden, then The Spirit of Radio and 2112 to close out the 2nd set. And then 3 great songs for the encore.

 

Maybe something like this:

 

Tom Sawyer

The Enemy Within

Subdivisions

Malignant Narcissism

Caravan

BU2B

Clockwork Angels

The Anarchist

Carnies

Seven Cities of Gold

The Wreckers

 

Set 2:

Headlong Flight

BU2B2

Wish Them Well

Cold Fire

Drum Solo

The Garden

2112 Overture/Temples of Syrinx

Freewill

YYZ

The Spirit of Radio

 

Encore:

Limelight

Witch Hunt

Finding My Way/In the Mood

i think we're looking at the 6-8 range but i'd say closer to 8.

I think you're right.

 

And after today, I'm minding that less.

 

 

With S&A, for me the 'hits' were Far Cry and two instrumentals. The others had bits and pieces I liked, but nothing like this album, where I'm actually looking forward to hearing a number of new songs.

Dude, that is one awesome set list, I must say. We have similar tastes in RUSH music.

 

I would only substitute Witch Hunt - we've got it two tours in a row, last tour is was part of the featured album. I would like to get Trees or Xanadu back in the rotation. Also, there's been hints at a nod toward Signal.

 

I wouldn't mind an New World Man/Digital Man/Analog Kid medley.

Caravan, BU2B, Clockwork Angels, Seven Cities Of Gold, The Wreckers and Headlong Flight.

 

I think The Anarchist and Carnies will get played to. It's a lot better than S&A so I won't mind if they go a little nuts with playing the new stuff.

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.

But....But....If they do that many new songs, where will they find the time to do all of Signals with the orchestra ????

There's my prediction, with SEVEN new songs. That's all based on the way they've structured their setlist the last few tours.

 

I'm basing it mostly off S&A and the way they handled the new material on that tour.

 

I agree, we might get alot more new stuff than usual. But I'd say 6 or 7 tops.

 

I don't see it likely ALL of CA will get played. Thats an hours worth of music. Too much. CA would have to be the entire first half of the show.

 

But hey, if they're feeling up to it, I guess they'll do it if they feel they can.

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. yes.gif

This is what I think too. I would love to hear the whole thing.

Awesome set list ! Would just throw away "Earthsine" and put BU2B2 or Force Ten, really good choice smile.gif

Now here's a thought....have they ever played the last song off an album on that albums tour?

 

Cause I get the feeling based on the way they're talking about "The Garden" so much in interviews and press, that they're going to play it live.

 

Maybe as the first song in the encore. I can picture that, since it will have a "finishing" type feel to the song.
