crushtopher Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Im not concerned about it all all. I think it will actually be powerful to see an orchestra with them . I don`t think it takes away from them whatsoever. Rush is smart....they will work it well. Put a little trust in your musical hero`s that they know exactly what they are doing . I am so looking forward to it. I haven`t decided when or where i am going but i guarentee i will be happy when all is said and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godeater2112 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 When has Rush ever f**ked up elements of their live shows? This is going to absolutely KICK ASS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micgtr71 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I was listening to My Favorite Headache yesterday and there are a lot of tunes that would sound great with strings. The title track, Perfekt, Still, and Slipping. I would love to hear Grace to Grace live even though it isn't a Rush song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AddictedRushian Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 Actually some very comforting responses! Haven't been to a concert yet so that's why I was a little worried. Most of you seem confident that they will be able to pull it off as they have been pulling off the greatest live acts for decades (at least that's what I hear). Not as worried as before. They'll definitely kick ass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThinkingBig Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 QUOTE (AddictedRushian @ Jun 25 2012, 10:24 AM) I paid for 2 tickets to see Rush this October. To hear they're going to bring a mini orchestra is incredible! I think this is a superb idea! I know there is a poll on where they should be placed during the concerts but I am still worried about them playing too much. I know Rush will do a great job in making sure they don't get overshadowed by the strings but I'm still a little iffy about bringing other musicians to play with them on their tour... I kind of feel like I just want to see Ged, Alex and Neil and those 3 only... PS. This is my first post in this forum! The guitars Alex plays have strings. Some have twelve strings.

rushpepe Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I'm guessing there will be 3 or 4 songs they play with the strings (probably one after the other) and then they will gracefully fade away. (or maybe they will blow them up!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argh! Alex said it's not an orchestra, it's an 8-10 piece string section! My guess it that they'll play most of CA in the second set (10 songs?), and that the strings will primarily be used for this. Other than this, I think they'll be used sparingly elsewhere, maybe on songs like Marathon, Manhattan Project, something off HYF? I hope they do throw us a couple of curveballs. How about a version of Jacob's Ladder with strings? That would be EPIC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crushtopher Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 The strings will only make the music more powerful. I am really looking forward to seeing this tour. They will not take away from Rush at all. Seriously it will be amazing you will see and hear for yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnM394 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 People -please. Everyone needs to friggin' relax. Strings or not, it's going to be a concert. They know what they're doing, and it's going to be fine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunter Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I know it's not going to happen but, how cool would it be if they had only a string quartet and they played the part of the angels in the show. Rising out of the light rig somehow to be "on high?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReflectedLight Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 all i know is with the strings added to the show, i'm definitely looking at the setlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeminiRising79 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 String Orchestra = Bad Idea Might as well try going unplugged and wearing MTV shirts. They're running out of novel ideas, plain and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
