Territorial_Game Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 First 20 songs- 8.5/10 Next 3 songs- 4/1o... Heard em too many times Closing with TSoR- 9/10 because I can never hear it enough Would've enjoyed seeing a little more variety, but the tracks they pulled are so f***ing awesome, it's worth it!

traeplien Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 As a rabid Rush fan since the late 70's, overall, I'm disappointed. Yes, some great earlier songs that will be fun to see/hear live but I'm not that into new Rush music (Power Windows was the last great Rush album for me) and I'm totally sick and tired of standbys like Tom Sawyer and Working Man so the thought of all these new songs being played in lieu of amazing possibilities has me feeling a bit discomforted. Maybe a "Yes" style masterworks tour for the 40th anniversary. That would be the bees knees. Thanks to the folks who posted the setlists. Nice job. Nice forum. Happy trails.

Tarkus406 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 QUOTE (Jaminbenb @ Sep 7 2012, 10:00 PM) QUOTE (pony2112 @ Sep 7 2012, 09:53 PM) I've seen them 42 times since the 2112 tour, so I like the set list. But, the casual fan will NOT like this tour. The lack of radio hits is totally shocking. That's what I liked. Not so many "hits" . Not horrible, just wish a few oddities would have made the cut.. it WOULD have been the perfect opportunity for Losing It, though.... I'm not so much a fan of the hits myself. What would have made the show 100% perfect would have been to take the hits and place them at the end of the first set. Then we get a second set of delicious awesome oddball Rush and the radio newbs can go home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 One thing the set-list does prove is that Clockwork Angles is a good album. To my ears, the songs hold their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmm_donuts Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 They could have a 5 hour show and people would still bitch about missing their favorites. I'm not fond of the synthy stuff they did in the eighties, but the first set works for me. I'm just glad they had the energy to really mix it up with different stuff, especially at their age. You want to hear the same concert over and over? Go catch Ted Nugent at the County Fairgrounds. Some surprises for me: 1. I said on TRF that I wouldn't be surprised if they dropped 2112, which they did. It's epic, but it's done to death. 2. No Jacob's Ladder or Xanadu 3. The concentration of Power Windows tunes. 4. Only 1 Snakes and Arrows, no Vapor Trails or Test for Echo. I thought they may touch 1 song from each, especially since they're recent albums. 5. Not too surprised they left Hemispheres alone since the only thing they haven't played on recent tours is Cygnus II, which is long and way beyond Geddy's range right now. I'm sure there's lots of songs they'd like to play, but just don't work for them anymore (or for Geddy's voice). Still plenty of catalog to choose from. I'd give the set list an 8.5 out of 10.

That means we should all follow in this guy's footsteps and boycott RUSH! It's the latest trend! PHUK CLOCKWERK 80'S FAREWELL TO KINGS OR GTFO Nah Clockwork 80's is the shit and I can't friggen wait i'm done dude. some of the ca tunes are good but it's just too much of a clunker setlist for me. have fun though.

Animate Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I am 70's Rush all the way- ABC1974 is my current favorite album- However, I am totally stoked about this playlist!!! Why? Because the songs are totally sing-able by Geddy, right here, right now. I don't appreciate the tuned down versions of the classics- especially- 2112- and would rather here songs Geddy can do justice to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdFireYYZ Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I would have also loved it if they played Losing It but the rest of the set is very good. I love the 70's but I also love the 80's and CA so I'm not going to complain! Red Sector A, the 4 PoW songs, and Bravado are going to be awesome. I give them a lot of credit for putting together a set that lacks a lot of their 70's material. It reminds me of when I saw Van der Graaf Generator in June. They only played 3 classics and a bunch of newer stuff. I loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alchemical Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 QUOTE (Powderfinger @ Sep 7 2012, 09:57 PM) It's interesting how many of us predicted three or four songs from Signals and we instead got four songs from Power Windows. I just can't understand it. One cut from Permanent Waves and only two cuts from Moving Pictures? Not even a Limelight or Red Barchetta? Beyond strange. Sorry to complain, just my reaction. Wasn't TMT their most successful tour ever? I guess they figured that they played enough of their older material on the last tour... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 So, no songs from Fly By Night, Caress of Steel, 2112, A Farewell To Kings, Hemispheres, Presto, Counterparts, Test for Echo, or Vapor Trails. 1 song from Permanent Waves, and 2 songs from Moving Pictures.

ShowgunSam Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Good God, would you all just drop it already with the whole "Losing It" fiasco? I mean, could you have gotten your hopes up for a more random song? Strings or not, it's not even that great of a track. And I'm sorry for those of you who expected a 70s set list. Jesus, even at sixty years old, these guys still put on the best rock performances to date and people still just bitch about anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkt2112 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 No TS??? My son just took care of that by playing a few cords on the guitar... Actually weird that this could be the first concert I've seen without that being played... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJH Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 My friends that are goin with me,are gonna be pissed!!...

ThinkingBig Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 QUOTE (dtpoet @ Sep 7 2012, 09:44 PM) Earlier today - Tony R was quoted as saying -" Losing It, Territories, and Jacobs Ladder on the set list." When asked by someone; "Tony Do you have a view of the setlist?", he replied "Indeed I do!" Guess not - Oh, Tony... WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animate Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Losing It and Bravado in the sat set would have been too much of a downer. One or the other. Losing It might be hitting a bit too close to home for them. The message in Bravado fits much better with the whole CA theme also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarkus406 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Why was everybody so hopeful about hearing Losing It? Did Alex say they were going to play it? If so, that should have been a dead giveaway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 To tell you the truth, the only 70's song I would really want to hear is "A Farewell to Kings". I could do without "Grand Designs" and in retrospect "Bravado". I'll probably change my mind when I actually experience it live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
