Old classics I want to hear with the live string section:

Losing It
Manhattan Project
Marathon

Of course, The Garden has to be the main force justifying the strings.

You know, I wouldn't actually mind Tears either. To be honest, I love that song. It's such a beautiful song.

Tears was recorder with a mellotron

Which is basically taped strings sound.

 

I think "Tears" if they decide to bring it back, will sound even better than the original recording if they really create a nice string composition for it.

I will have to disagree. I find the mellotron to be one of the most emotive instruments ever made. So it's kind of hard to top for me

Dude, You're playing sounds that have been recorded on a tape. How can you compare that with the actual thing for emotional value? Its like comparing a Baby grand to the sample of a baby grand on a keyboard.

If they don't play Different Strings, I will shoot someone. angry.gif 2.gif

I would too! Specially if they don't play Losing It now! This is the Tour for:

 

Losing It!

I wouldn't be surprised if they have a new instrumental on the set list. Kind of hoping they don't play 2112 live this time unless its side b...do something else for a change!

Close your eyes, free your mind

Imagine if you will....
TSOR, Limelight, Tom Sawyer with an orchestra...





did anyone else just puke a little?






I can take the CA songs, Losing It, Manhattan Project, and even Jacob's Ladder... but it better not be the whole damn show.

Actually those are the songs that they won't play with the string section, Well they might play Limelight just to replace the string taurus pedal sound.

So, this is fact?

Nope, just a very knowledgable speculation. I was right about the string section wasn't I?

I'm for it.  I like to see bands try new (for them anyhow) things.  trink39.gif

after seeing multiple S&A and Time Machine shows, I'm ready for them to change it up. 1022.gif

When Kiss added strings on that one show (videos available aplenty online), it was REALLY cool, even considering they had someone else dressed as Ace ( 062802puke_prv.gif ).

 

Seriously though, ANYTHING DIFFERENT LIVE TO MIX IT UP SOME IS GOOD! I usually find Rush live to be playing virtual duplications of their studio material, only a bit rougher. Any time they add a little jamming or ANYTHING different is a good thing. I'm sure this will be a really cool addition. yes.gif

Yeah...I'd rather have an orchestrated version than mellotron.

Oh great.  So that means they'll probably be playing "The Garden", and I will be crying my eyes out in front of everyone. 

But I'll handle it.

 

You and me both...

 

...who would guess you'd need 15,000 pieces of Kleenex at a Rush gig? laugh.gif

I think it will turn a lot of Rush fans off, but I am not too worried.

Not me no.gif

I wonder how the string section will be presented during the show? Beneath, between, or behind?

Right smack in the center infront of Neil. They have nothing to hide!

I would like to hear Xanadu with an orchestra.  I think that would be cool.

I will be into hearing them with strings.

NOOOO that's my nightmare scenario. Blasphemy!

Nightmares sometimes come true. However, I agree with you. I feel they should only use strings for songs that have strings already on them. Leave the other songs in tact.

If they do this, then I'd be 100% behind it.

Completely with you on this.
