micgtr71 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 QUOTE (losingit2k @ Jun 8 2012, 12:53 PM) You know, I really don't understand the thought patterns of some fans sometimes. Its a concept album. Not playing the entire work live on tour is like: Pink Floyd not performing The Wall Live! Queensryche not performing Operation Mindcrime Live! Fates Warning not performing A Pleasant Shade of Grey Live! Dream Theater not performing Scenes from a Memory Live! Is that really what we want? For Rush to retire and never have a representation of one of their finest works Live in its Entirety? Really? Clockwork Angels is Epic! Wake up and smell the Angels that have fallen out of Heaven and landed on your face! You mean like only playing part of 2112? Or, like only playing part of Hemispheres...or splitting it up into parts throughout the show? Hmmm, I'm not following you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjgittes Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I agree with those that are thinking of an S&A tour duplication - begin the second half with 20 minutes of songs from CA that WON'T include Caravan or BU2B. The "suspense" on this tour will be much the same as it was during S&A-what will they wrap around the new album tracks? I wouldn't be surprised if they bypassed anything from "Moving Pictures" until maybe a Tom Sawyer-Limelight encore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found the deeper cuts to yield some awkward moments...where the diehard fans go nuts, but the collective energy drops way down. Entre Nous was like that. I loved it, personally, but the crowd in general was...meh. But when Subdivisions comes on...the roar is amazing! The Answer is a little of each of coarse you have the new stuff: Clockwork Angels You can't eliminate the Staples: (People just want to hear those) Tom Sawyer The Sprit of Radio Freewill Limelight YYZ 2112 Overture/ Temples The you have to include one or two Epics: (Needed for the die hard fans) Xanadu Jacobs Ladder Then you can throw in two or three unplayed or older tracks: (to keep it fresh) Cut to the Chase Test For Echo Middletown Dreams Losing It The rest would be newer stuff with some Essentials classics thrown in: Far Cry Secret Touch Mal-Nar Subdivisons the Big Money Dreamline Distant Early Warnings And there you basically have a concert!

WavesandWindows Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 QUOTE (ALifeson85 @ Jun 5 2012, 12:06 PM) Is how vocally demanding it would be for Geddy. First off, there are NO instrumentals on CA...so for Geddy to have to sing for over and hour straight, esp. since some of the new songs DO sound a bit vocally demanding, would KILL his voice. I can MAYBE see them splitting up the entire album, in 2 - 3 song suites throughout the show, with older songs and instrumentals in between...but for them to perform the ENTIRE album in one straight shot...like I sayed - there is no way Geddy would be able to handle that, imo. Still though - I'm LOVING the new album, and I'm sure we will still be hearing LOTS of stuff from CA on the upcoming tour I agree with you completely, HOWEVER, just because those songs were finished and placed on the album is not to say that didn't write some instrumentals with the suite.... I think that it's possible that it will work the way you've said it and is likely to end out that way, but my theory is plausible and has been discussed by many others in other parts of On The Lighted Stage, thanks for reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losingit2k Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 It Can Happen like below: Set 1: Far Cry Caravan BU2B Clockwork Angles Where's My Thing ? Tears Losing It Manhattan Project Malignant Narcissim The Anarchist Carnies Halo Effect New World Man Freewill 2112 Overture/Temples /Finale Set 2: The Analog kid Limelight Red Barchetta Jacobs Ladder Seven Cities of Gold The Wreckers Headlong Flight YYZ/ Drum Solo Alex Solo/ BU2B2 Wish Them Well The Garden Hemispheres (Prelude) Xanadu (Entire) Encore: Subdivisions Tom Sawyer The Spirit of Radio Pleanty of Rest through out and lets face it, most of CA are long instrumental works anyway.
