twwells Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Just my take on the set, I think they decided to bust out some rare synthy songs to offset how ballsy the new record is. I was at the show in Pittsburgh, and I was the only one standing throughout most of the show. I wonder why those that prefer the heavy guitar driven material didn't give two shites about any songs other than Analog Kid, YYZ, Working Man, Tom Sawyer, and 2112. I personally would have preferred a more "retro" song listing, but like others said before that the material from the 80's is all 30+ years old or close to it. Any song I can hear from Rush live is a good thing, except for maybe Nobody's Hero and Rivendell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdFireYYZ Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 The audience around me on the floor at Bridgeport seemed really into the show. Other than the guy who was disappointed that they didn't play Working Man, I heard no complaints. The very vast majority of the floor stood for the entire show.

twwells Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 Apologies, I meant I was the only one standing in my section. Anyways I'm glad I looked at the set before the show otherwise I might have been confused or underwhelmed at the plethora of synthy tunes. That being said, I'm still looking forward to the other set on Cleveland! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any song I can hear from Rush live is a good thing, except for maybe Nobody's Hero and Rivendell! ***SPOILERS*** I loved the 80s stuff! I loved the more obscure songs, like 'Grand Designs', 'Territories', and especially 'Where's My Thing?'. I actually squealed a little when 'WMT' came on. And I stood standing through the entire show, and sang along with everything. I was actually more excited for these songs than for 'The Spirit of Radio' or 'Tom Sawyer'. Afterwards, I listened to a couple of guys mildly complain that they didn't play 'Free Will', 'Limelight', or 'Working Man' (again). I'm glad we got a break from them! And someone wanted 'Red Barchetta' again. I'd rather give more obscure songs a chance to shine, play something live that hasn't been done many times before.... Not, of course, that the more common songs aren't good! They are awesome songs, and I totally recognize them as such, but it's nice to give other songs a chance, ya know?

Weakly Criminal Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Any time RUSH plays live is a reach-around for me. I always wear two pair of undies to the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy Farrah Fowler Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 So YOU were the annoying guy who kept blocking my kids' view! You probably weren't, but if your section wasn't standing, I'm sure you were being cursed at by many, many folks... Hmph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucsteve667 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 (edited) I went to Philly last night. I moved to the nosebleeds where I could sit for 3 hrs and enjoy the show. I hate standing more than 5 min so I was in heaven. I got in a lil late, during Subdivisions, so at the break I asked the guy in front of us if I missed anything. I couldnt help but to laugh at him when he said just a waste of a 1st set...they played nothing he wanted to hear pretty much. Sucks fer him Edited October 13, 2012 by ucsteve667 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Sunday was the A set list so, my assumption is that they're adding it to the B set list. They started playing it during sound check in Philly and right afterward is when crew was told they'd be playing it in Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
