Nowadays is really difficult to avoid info about setlists

Difficult - but not impossible.

I'm gonna try very hard not to take a peek at the setlist; we all know that a few certain songs are probably gonna be performed.

Kinda funny story here if you wanna keep reading; dating back to the first leg of the 'Snakes' tour. Friends at work knew I was going to the Houston show, so they did their very best to spoil it for me.

They got wind of the setlist and must've made 50 + copies; wall-papering my desk area in our warehouse, my time-card, my delivery paperwork, my work truck, the men's bathroom and my own truck. Thus, I couldn't go anywhere in the shop in the short days leading to the Monday afternoon when I'd leave work and be back that Thursday.

Conversations even included the songs that were gonna be played; yeah, they brought up Digital Man, Mission, Far Cry, The Way the Wind Blows, and etc.

Son of a bitch!

Anyway, as of right now, the only show I'm thinking of trying to see is up in St. Louie. It's very early in the tour and on a Saturday; though, I may miss some of the Saints home game against Kansas City on Sunday.

I have my faves from 'Clockwork' that I hope will make the list...The Wreckers and by all means The Garden.

[GuitarPlyr01]

OF COURSE

 

I'll be checking the night of the first show. And this time they start on the East Coast so it actually works out!

 

Not like 2010 where they were out West and behind 3 hours from here

[Rushchick10]

I usually can't make it opening night, and I am not always able to hold out until my first show. I won't be seeing them until the first Toronto show. We'll see how long I can hold out. I don't take pee or beer breaks, and I generally love every song they play, so it's more of a "can't wait to find out" attitude.

 

BUT, now that this whole business about a blasted string section has been leaked, I will be more tempted than ever to see the set list.

 

Trying to keep an open mind about the strings...

 

I will be very pleased to see it work. I have some serious reservations, though.

 

But, that is for another thread!

I look at the setlist, and I go to the show anyways. No pee-breaks, unless it's between sets, and not songs.

[The Owl]

I want to remain surprised, though I am seeing them in San Antonio.... NOV 30!! The penultimate show of the North American tour...I dont see myself lasting that long witout caving in and looking.

[MJH]

I tried to resist last 3 tours...can't help it.copy of list always in back pocket. I do not want to miss any new material,or something old that

I never saw live before.

Maybe ask the mods to ban you from the start of the tour until December 1?

 

That way...you're forced to avoid it.

No peeking for me- I'm going to opening night!

Looking at your list of shows, it's UNBELIEVABLE that your first show was in 2007, and you have become such a huge fan! How did this happen?

[Faithless Mover]

Pee break? Really?

[greg2112]

Im holding out. Want to be completely surprised, like the old pre-internet days.

...then simply don't leave your seat.

No pee breaks. I make a play list of the set list and listen to it a few times before the show. I really enjoy listening for all the details during the concert after running through my play list a few times.

I create a playlist of the set to and listen to it to get me more pumped for the show. With the internet now you pretty much have spoilers everywhere about everything, it's just too hard for me now not to take a look at what Rush or any band i'm going to see is playing.

[Mika]

It's going to get harder keeping the blinders over my eyes to avoid any unwanted learnings about the setlist... I may have to start avoiding coming at all shortly before the tour starts so I can remain blissfully unaware!

[losingit2k]

I can tell you this, looking at the setlist after opening night is either going to make me extremely euphoric or utterly devastated depending on the inclusion or lack of one "Losing It". However, things are looking up right now.
