Godeater2112 Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 Trust me, this will be amazing. Bodes well for gems like Xanadu and La Villa and Closer to the Heart being played as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beherit Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I don't dig Metallica with an orchestra, KISS with an orchestra, ELP with an orchestra... I have more faith in rush than any of those bands though so we'll see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

losingit2k Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Oh Yeah! Here we go! Its Orchestra time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermy Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 It will be a small ensemble for 6-8 songs........ They won't be front and center It's gonna really flush out a few songs and gets me excited for the back catalog! I for one will buy a beer for anyone who comes away from their show still thinking it was a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sb2112 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I trust them not to overdo it, so we should be okay. It will probably just be used on the new ones and a couple cool old songs, which I would be perfectly fine with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friendlyvoice Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Fantastic! Excellent! Glad to hear it. Several songs on CA prominently feature strings...so are we expecting Geddy to foot-pedal some faux strings (along with everything else he has to do) and be done with it? Should they be expected to somehow keyboard-ize (I made up a word) those strings? Now we can hear CA exactly how they recorded it...and how they wanted us to hear it. And, as an added bonus, we can hear some classic tunes they've never performed live (Losing It!)...as well as a few others that haven't been played in a while. The strings will enable them to play Nobody's Hero as a tribute to Andrew McNaughtan...I'll be very surprised if that doesn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Finn Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 (edited) This probably means we are also going to hear Manhattan Project and Lock And Key. Synth strings are used in songs like Jacob's Ladder, Natural Science, Red Barchetta etc so you never know for sure. Damn forgot Nobody's Hero.

circumstantial tree Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I like the idea of the orchestra accompaniment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 This is a game changer for me, I will now make every effort to attend both legs of the tour even though they are not stopping anywhere near me in leg 1 at least. It seems like I have been negative about Rush for several years now as I disliked S&A and their last few tours have all been a little too similar for my tastes with not enough differences in the setlists. I am really liking CA though and hearing this news has me excited to see this. I have been wanting new and different and Rush is providing!

I thought everything about the whole live production (except the set list) on the last tour was awesome, and if this is going to be a extension of the last tour, the show should be nothing short of incredible.
