Kelly D Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 QUOTE (Brava Doh! @ Jun 15 2012, 07:53 AM) QUOTE (Kelly D @ Jun 14 2012, 10:33 PM) I'm glad we got two from Counterparts last tour, but I wanna hear "CTTC" or "Animate"!!! As much as I love Animate on the CP album, it does not translate nearly as well to me live. The tempo seems slower. I've been advocating CTTC as one they should break out for years, and I'm very surprised they haven't in the last couple of tours given how the heavyness of that song would seem to go along with the heavier writing style that they have employed in the last few years. And yet, nothing...I think they either have completely forgotten about it or just don't like the song for whatever reason. Anyhow lets hope it gets on the setlist this time out. It's on almost every Rush fan's wishlist that I've talked to lately. It just rocks so hard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could play Afterimage and The Garden back to back and pass out nooses and razor blades before the show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonE Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 I also think it would be nifty for them to revisit the Fear trilogy, much like they did on the GUP tour. I also wouldn't mind seeing them end it with Freeze, although that's one of the weaker songs from VT. Actually, I wish they could have played more from VT because that was a pretty solid album. If memory serves, they only ended up doing 5 of the 13 tracks live: One Little Victory Earthshine Secret Touch Ghost Rider/Ceiling Unlimited While Secret Touch is one of their stronger songs, I wish they had brought in others such as Peaceable Kingdom, Out of the Cradle, and Nocture.

Would the mournful lyrical content really matter at a show though? It's a fast-paced rocker, not a melancholic dirge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke1 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Afterimage fantastic guitar solo in that, brilliant song, that would be great. Also like to see a few rarities, namely Losing It, Manhattan Project, Xanadau, Hemispheres Prelude, Open Secrets, Show don't tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Finn Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 You who say Hemispheres Prelude: Do you mean as a instrumental or not? Because no way Geddy can sing that anymore. He struggled with it already in CP tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quickfree Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 One of the songs they forgot they played live like Kid Gloves or Middletown Dreams (followed by awsum dweem theatwee cover). Or a daring pick like "Bravest Face". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are all geniuses. Body Electric KILLS me. What an A-Plus lyric. As a "younger generation" fan, basically anything I hear them play that's not a "hit" is the only time I'll get to hear it. Was thrilled for "non-obvious" songs at recent shows like Secret Touch and Entre Nous. (Still bummed that I had to miss Time Machine and two of my last-chance favorites, Vital Signs and Presto.) So really as many "deep cuts" as they're willing to play I'll be happy with. Just not Manhattan Project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
restart Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Much of the pre Permanent Waves catalogue is obviously beyond Geddy's current vocal capabilities. That's not his fault, it's just a function of age. What I don't understand though is why they don't try some of the older classics in the original key, but with the vocal an octave lower. I think this could suit Geddy's current register and could provide an interesting take on the older songs; surely this would be better than doing the older songs a couple of tones lower (which frankly he still struggles with). That's what I'd like to hear on the next tour - some of the old tunes in the original key with vocals dropped an octave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not much of a singer but when I'm singing along in the car or jamming recreationally with my brothers, I sing a lot of the old stuff 8vb since that suits my voice (i.e. a normal human male voice) much better. I really like the vocal quality of Geddy's sub-soprano range as heard in the 90s-00s catalog, so I'd be totally down for this. Good suggestion!

losingit2k Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 You want a surprise! Imagine they just finish playing TEARS with the string section and Geddy Say" Well here an old friend of ours" and Ben Mink walks out with his Violin and they go straight into: "Losing It"!
