Removing the Thorn from this setlist

[tangy]

sad f***ing day here at TRF to see Working Man referred to as a thorn.

 

 

give me a f***ing break, you f***ing hosers...........

Jacobs Ladder. Geddy would sound pretty bad in xanadu

[default236]

It's fine the way it is. I don't like to complain, but Natural Science would be just as good of closer.

Xanadu. Didn't even have to think about it.

Me either.

I have no problem with Working Man, but I would love to hear In The Mood one more time. I know it is a silly song, but there is just something about it that makes me happy. Add a balloon drop and we're all in that "I-don't-care-I'm-having-fun" space.

Older medley

 

Judging from old boots, What You're Doing and Finding My Way would kick butt live

I could certainly go for Finding My Way.

 

For me, that and Working Man are the standouts and my two favs from the first album.

Wow, I don't think any song should be replaced in the 2nd set, maybe BU2B should be added in but really.... WORKING MAN IS A THORN????? Gimme a break...........

 

Make a new poll for the first Setlist beginning and ending seriously, Working man is a thorn?

Yes its a thorn. Since they brought it back its become a staple at their concerts and this song is far from being a staple. Staples are Limelight, Tom Sawyer, The Spirit of Radio and to some extent YYZ and Freewill. Working Man is a great song but a Far Cry from being a Staple and with that reggae intro it has become a thorn. in their setlist. It need to be removed and replaced with the Thread favorite Xanadu!

You have been granted the power of starting new threads and polls. With this power comes responsibility. Stop abusing it.

I would say Xanadu....but I fear it would suck vocally at this point....I'm going with La Villa.....never get tired of that one

From RIAB:

 

*** SPOILER UPDATE 1 *** Reader wackostu is at the show and reports in the comments that the soundboard guy said that there would be another slight adjustment to the A setlist. Apparently they'll be swapping out Working Man with The Spirit of Radio to close out the second set. The Spirit of Radio had been played as part of the encore on opening night, but not since. There was no setlist photo to support this, so we'll just have to wait and see for verification.

 

I'm okay with this

[The Trees]

I voted for the older medley though I'm not sure Geddy could pull it off these days. I'd also be happy with Xanadu. But if I had my way, it would be Out Of The Cradle, then save Xanadu for the closer in the encore.

However, if that was removed the 12% of us voting that Working Man needs to stay will actually be increased by about 88% we will all love it!!! All the other choices in is are great but I just want to make my pint WORKING MAN IS FAR FROM A THORN, THE REGGAE INTRO IS REALLY SILLY BUT WORKING MAN IS NOT A THORN!!!!!!!   Seriously though,

[Pause Rewind Replay]

I still dig Working Man, but off that list, Natural Science would be AWESOME!
