zappafrank Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Looks like TSoR was played when by all accounts it should have been Working Man, per the A/B split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigalfan Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Yes, and I LOVED it!! A very, very nice surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bone Roller Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 it looks like TSOR is the new version of setlist A. played it that way in chicago as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powderfinger Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I no longer understand the setlist rotation. This is sort of by design. By not paying attention anymore my show will potentially have a moment or two where I'm not sure what to expect. I'm happy about this. I guess I should also stop reading setlist spoilers from here on out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish_matt Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I was fine with not hearing Working Man.... TSOR was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RalphyS Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Does this mean that 'Working Man' is dropped from both setlists ??? I was actually thinking of buying an extra concert ticket to hear both "Nights" but in that case you want as many changes as possible, so with the "Working Man/The Spirit of Radio"-change, there were 5, without it only 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good live but Spirit is much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarkus406 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I was very happy to hear Spirit instead of Working Man. Aside from the Dreamline/Manhattan switch I wanted to hear, that was the other change I was hoping for, and they abided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting because Working Man was the breakthrough hit in the midwest. But in Chicago, the crowd went wild for TSOR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdurbin22 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I saw the Chicago show and didn't read the set in advance. Definitely surprised by the lack of "hits" but I did not think that was a bad thing at all. That being said, if I would've heard "Working Man" instead of "The Spirit of Radio," I would've been a little bummed. Of all the "hits", "TSOR" is my absolute favorite and "Working Man" is one I can do without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3strukt Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I've got the St. Louis boot. Geddy actually sounds REALLY good on it! I really hope they continue the 80's and 90's stuff from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddyLeeRoth Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 The St. Louis show was incredible. Probably the best Rush show since R30. And I've loved em all, S&A, S&A Leg2, TM Tour. Not only did Rush play in peak form, but the place was capacity except the very top side crappy seats (sound sucks there anyway) and the crowd was LOUD and into it. I've always seen Rush in KC and they've always recieved a great reaction, but I was relieved StL did well with the setlist. I loved the set on paper, but I loved it even more live. Would I have like to hear Jacobs Ladder, Xanadu, etc.? Sure. But I love PoW, and CA is IMO their best album since PoW, so the set delivered. Highlights for me: Subdivisions Middletown Dreams Analog Kid Where's My Thing ('YYZ Lite' delivered!) Far Cry The Anarchist Headlong Flight Red Sector A (suprisingly) The Spirit Of Radio (expected Working Man, but this was perfect) 2112 (Thanks to The Boys for playing Grand Finale--it validated and solidified the relatively short number of classics they ended with) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
