zappafrank Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 ... they played the same set (A: The Body Electric, etc) both nights?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagtang Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I hope so, that means they'll do set B at my show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg2112 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Really?? Can we get confirmation this was the case? Hope so, cause that prob means I'll get A when I see them this Saturday and get to see Body Electric! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtpoet Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Will be there Saturday as well. It was wrong. They played B last night. We get WTW, MD, DL, TP on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmotionDetector Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Nope...no TBE played at last night's show. I think they switched it up between both shows...which was the right move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg2112 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 As much as I like Middletown (which I saw in Bristow, Va), I'd really like to get TBE saturday....doesnt look like thats going to happen.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 WOOOOHOOOOO!!!! I still get Body Electric and Manhattan Project at my show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebbish_2112 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 That is good news. I thought i was on for set A based upon the rotation and got worried when I saw Setlist FM this morning. I love TBE, Bravado, 7COG and Manhatten Project. If things go as planned I will be in my glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya_Big_Tree Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 No body electric last night. They played Middletown Dreams instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bscsmkr Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Well I thought they would have done one of the "one off" songs for special occasions that Neil mentioned in his latest entry on his site. I figured what better place than your hometown on a 2 night stand to break out something special. If it didn't happen there, I don't see that happening anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it didn't happen there, I don't see that happening anywhere Unfortunately, they rarely make exceptions/variations of their setlists (outside of the alternating A/B standard). Theyre extremely static/stubborn that way. I remember thinking theyd pull out something special for the R30 radio city shows. No dice. Frustrating they dont do that sort of thing.

Apollo Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Am I the only person glad I will get set B if the current rotation continues? Middletown is one of my favorite songs off of PW and it has been ignored ever since then, I will love to hear it and think it's miles better than The Body Electric.

They're such perfectionists live though. They're not gonna play one off songs here and there unless they know they can pull them off flawlessly. I prefer the way Rush does their setlists. I like that every crowd gets the same show pretty much with the exception of the set A/B rotation, which really isn't that great of a difference at all. Personally, I couldn't care less if they busted out some random song at this or that show if i'm not there. If it doesn't happen at my show why should I care at all?

I absolutely adore The Body Electric and everything off of P/G.... But, I've stated a gazillion times how much Middletown Dreams is my favorite Rush song ever and I really would LOVE to witness it in person. Last I checked (at the beginning of the tour), I'm scheduled to get a Night A show in Charlotte... Driving 5 hours from South Carolina to Atlanta in the middle of the week is an absolute no go for me.... So, it is what it is... I can't possibly be mad at seeing ANY song that has not been played since the mid-80s since I missed that era the first time around. I'm just slightly annoyed that they are rotating rarities... play both every night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They played that along with The Pass and still played Territories which was incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

better2112 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 When they played here in Winnipeg on the Snakes and Arrows tour, I really thought they could've played Lakeside Park, as the show was on the 24th of May... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtpoet Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 All for Middletown Dreams. Cant wait to hear it Saturday!!! This is my first show since RTB. I would have loved to have heard Bravado over The Pass. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jomboni Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Not as bad as the time I saw them in Camden, on Bastille Day and Geddy even wished the crowd a happy Bastille Day, and then they obviously didn't play the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
