GUP1771 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 QUOTE (farcryoverspilledmilk @ Sep 6 2012, 12:39 PM) Just had breakfast with a journalist for the Union Leader Newspaper and a fellow Rush fan. Here is what was relayed to me with regards to the set list. The band has made the decision to rehearse the entire record and leave the options open this round to drop 2 and put 2 songs in. The complete record will not be performed on a nightly basis. Manhattan Project, Marathon, and Nobody's Hero are in the set. Other songs that have been part of the rehearsals with strings outside of the CA songs include Losing It, Second Nature, Spirit of Radio, 2112, and Animate. If true, while Manhattan Project is cool and will be very nice with the string section, I would have preferred to hear Middletown Dreams instead. Nobody's Hero I'm all for. Love that song. The only song I'm not too keen on being played is Second Nature. Sure, it may be arranged very nice with the strings, but I dunno. I never cared for that song. Strings on 2112, Spirit of Radio, and Animate?! That sounds awesome. 2112 is going to sound even more epic. I'm going to sit back and see if this info is accurate.

Changing things up nightly, every other night, or anything other than mid-tour break, would be rather out of character. Don't ya think? But I guess a journalist for the Union Leader Newspaper and a fellow Rush fan of OP's would know... Agreed. Swapping out new material does not make much sense to me. Used to be done in the past and was done on the VT tour with Ghost Rider, Ceiling Unlimited, The Trees, Freewill, Between Sun and Moon, and Vital Signs.

Powderfinger Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I love Animate, and like Nobody's Hero well enough. But with such a vast catalog, I'd prefer to not have two songs from Counterparts. Someone please relay this to the band so they can tailor the setlist to my specific desires.

ShlappinDahBass Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) I don't understand why some people are making a huge fuss of them playing 2 or 3 songs they don't like.. I'm sure a huge chunk of the show will involve songs you enjoy. Edited September 6, 2012 by ShlappinDahBass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Not Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Cool: Manhattan Project, Marathon, Losing It, Second Nature, and Animate. Expected; I'm Indifferent: Spirit of Radio and 2112. Darn: Nobody's Hero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThinkingBig Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 QUOTE (bigalfan @ Sep 6 2012, 01:24 PM) I for one really hope this is a chain pulling exercise. With the exception of Losing It, the choice of 'extras' bums me out a little if true. Agreed. This doesn't jive logically or with the info we have heard so far.

anchorman Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I wish the song Second Nature never existed. It's one of the worst songs on arguably one of their worst CD's. Nobody's Hero ? Nobody cares. All the other tunes listed ? please. How's that for a diverse fan base ? It's beyond me on how many people love HYF. That's what makes this band so great I suppose. Pretty genius on their part actually. This band has been together so long and has been so successful that fans can actually argue as to what decade of music they prefer. If that's not enough, they can argue what genre of music is best to them. Hard rock to synth period to progressive, etc. Cool stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alchemical Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) Just found this... QUOTE (farcryoverspilledmilk @ Sep 6 2012, 12:39 PM)If they stick to the rumored 3 hours and 10 mins of music they have planned then there is plenty of time for this. Intro Prelude - Hemispheres The Big Money Limelight Subdivisions The Pass Time Stand Still Caravan BU2B Clockwork Angels The Anarchist Carnies Halo Effect Seven Cities of Gold Intermission The Wreckers Headlong Flight BU2B2 Wish Them Well The Garden Losing It Manhattan Project Marathon Nobody's Hero Where's My Thing? Drum Solo Alex Solo The Trees Xanadu Jacobs Ladder Encore Malignant Narcissism The Spirit of Radio Tom Sawyer 2112 Overture/Temples/Grand Finale Anyone else think it's just a little bit of a coincidence that farcryoverspilledmilk happened to guess four of the songs from the supposed "confirmed" songs list in his setlist prediction from a couple days ago? They all follow each other too... Guessing TSoR or TS isn't anything unusual but the fact that he guessed HALF of songs he just happened to learn were on the setlist TODAY does raise some questions over the validity of this thread.
