(spoilers) CA differences from previous tours.

Couldn't think of a better title for the thread... but, regardless of what's on the setlist, I do want to commend the boys for going the drastic route and making a setlist that varies drastically from the previous (Time Machine) tour...

 

The Setlists over the last decade from tour to tour have been somewhat redundant, having alot of repeat songs on the current tour that were on the previous tour... thus ( and I am using the live DVD setlists for the following stats.. EDIT TO ADD, just for the Vapor Trails tour, I am going by the dvd and not setlists from that tour...as the VT tour did offer up a few changes during the tour...setlist wise)

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

- Vapor Trails tour/ R30 tour: 16 tracks in common (of roughly 30 songs on each tour)... just over 50% of setlist is the same

 

 

- R30 tour/ S&A Tour (either leg): 9 songs in common (12 on the second leg) (of 27 on S&A/30 on R30)...less than half

 

 

- S&A Tour/ Time Machine Tour: 9 in common (10 if you include S&A leg 2) (of 25 on Time Machine/of 27 on S&A)

 

 

- Time Machine tour/ CA tour: 7 songs in common (of 26 on CA/of 25 on Time Machine)

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

Regardless of the songs that were played, you should be able to comment that Rush significantly cut down on the repeats from the last tour... that's a good thing..... It might not be all you would have wanted, but at least its a far different show than the last tour... and drastically different from than previous tours compared to even earlier tours in the past decade.

Good point and I'm glad they shook it up. As I've posted elsewhere, my only gripes were heavy on the '80's rarities and (to me) not enough of a drum solo.

 

I enjoyed hearing lesser played songs, no doubt about it. I thank the boys for that!
