Yokkov Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) So I don't know every line that Geddy has ever said to the croud between songs, and I dont know every setlist by heart, but I think that signals' 30 anniversery is being blown way out of proportion. Rush toured in 2004 right? They didn't play all of the debut, did they, or even more then one full song from it? They also toured in 2007, A Farewell To King's anniversery, and I don't think they played one song from it! So on with 2008, and Hemispheres anniversery, I don't think Geddy even made a mention of it! Just because they toured all of moving pictures (their biggest album) last year on its anniversery, means 100% nothing about Signals this year! This tour is in support of Clockwork Angels, last tour was basically another tour for Moving Pictures. There's no reason they should feel inclined to play more signals then usual, even on its anniversery! Edited June 23, 2012 by Yokkov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmotionDetector Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 You're probably right. People saw that tourbook image with the dalmatian dog on it and jumped to conclusions right off the bat. I agree...and honestly, I don't care to see ANY album in full. I want a nice mix of everything. Please give us a nice variety of music from all eras and albums.

aaronrusso Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 its the same as the 2112 reference on the album cover, its just a humourous twist on the cover of the tour book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGr8imL84AD8inF8sBlackSedan Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I think the hype has come and gone....Just a little hysteria from the excitement of the new album. I was one who would have loved to hear all of Signals live, but now I only wanna hear CA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3strukt Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 They BETTER play SUBDIVISIONS WITH STRINGS. That would give Geddy room to play a new bass part where they keyboards would normally be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 You think it's being blown out of proportion right now? It's nothing like it was two or three months ago where almost every thread was talking about it. The talk has died down on that topic considerably within the last month.

The topic died down, because Clockwork Angels came out to be great. Everyone is more is more consumed with CA than Signals. I for one would like to see a heavy Signals laden set list. However, they should focus on songs that they haven't played as of late: Losing It The Weapon Countdown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

analog guy Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Signals is my personal favorite album. But I don't think it's a significant enough record to get the full concert treatment.... really, only Moving Pictures and maybe Permanent Waves or Hemispheres are. The band doesn't seem to think of it as a milestone record. Not that I'd have a problem with them doing the whole thing. I love that album.

The Strings will be nice for the CA stuff and to be a complimentary ambience for some older material. They will not be used as a lead front and center instrument. No fricking way.
