ALifeson85 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Ok, folks! Ready........set.......VOTE! I picked YES, because - I just have a gut feeling about it. Not saying I KNOW they will play it, but I have a VERY strong feeling about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdhonda Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 If the strings have a heavy role in the show (and I think they will), then there is a good chance that we will see Jacobs Ladder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sin City Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 They said the same about the camera eye. Peart also seriously dissed cygnus x-1 on the uk leg of the signals tour in 83. Pretty much dissed everything, actually, grumpy bastard. I hope they will, but don't think it will get played. The big advantage of a song like this is that it gives Ged's vox a break.

shail Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Lots of different time signatures in the song near the end. Every other measure is a different time sig. Recipe for disaster live. They won play that song live ever. Easy to get lost at their age in that tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sb2112 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Since they considered playing it last time, I wouldn't be surprised if they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdhonda Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 They might just play half of it, and then segue into something else. BUT THEY'VE NEVER DONE ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vigilante Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 In that Rolling Stone interview with Alex , Didn't he say they may stray away from the Perm Waves material... And something about covering alot of 2112 on this tour may make more sense ? Then again this is Alex speaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I do like the song but I don't have this overwhelming urge to hear it live like a lot of others seem to. It will be cool if they do it, but it honestly wouldn't bother me if they didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alchemical Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I think so, the strings make it and it's an easy song on Geddy's voice. Seeing as how there are no instrumentals on CA to give his voice a rest mid-concert, Jacob's Ladder is perfect. Plus it hasn't been played for a while and it was a hopeful for the TMT. Didn't Neil said they just couldn't get it to work for some reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) Putting gut feelings, hopes and wishes aside, I voted no based on what Neil had to say about it. Though I'm hopeful, I'm realistic. They tried it during rehearsals for Time Machine, and Neil commented that it wasn't working and that " sometimes, you just can't go back ".

mmm_donuts Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Sure I'd like to hear it, but I'd prefer Xanadu. Xanadu would actually sound interesting with strings IMO. One thing you need to consider is that it's another long song...and there are a bunch of long songs in their catalog. They could probably trim some of the instrumental part in the middle to cut the time down. I agree that the different time signatures in the song make it difficult, especially if they hadn't played it in a while. This one could sound like a train wreck if it's not perfect.
