2112rushfan1 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Tell us what is your favorite Rush song to see them play live. It has to be one that they have played live before. If you want, tell us which one you'd like to see them play live that they never have played live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen of the World Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Favourite song to see live is La Villa Strangiato. I know it's been done lots of times before but it's my favourite song. Even just adding the Lerxst in Wonderland section to a medley is enough for me. Of songs they have never played live I would love to hear either Different Strings, Before and After, or Cut to the Chase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2112rushfan1 Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 My favorite to see live was probably The Garden, just on this tour. I would love to see them play Available Light, for one that they've never played before. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw them twice this tour, but the 2nd time when I was on the floor in Cleveland was unlike any other. That was probably my favorite concert of all time and I've been seeing them since the All The World's A Stage tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbear05 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Analog Kid. That never gets old live, and they killed it in Sunrise. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2112rushfan1 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 Analog Kid. That never gets old live, and they killed it in Sunrise.I definitely agree. That was one of the best surprises of this tour I think. Same with Middletown Dreams and Manhattan Project. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mika Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I've really enjoyed watching them play 'Where's My Thing?' live, both through this tour and the Roll the Bones tour (not that I saw them live then, but have seen videos of this song live then). The band seems to get a really good energy from this song, and Geddy particularly seems to rock out on the bass with this one. The best live songs, I think, are those with which they have the most fun, and bring smiles to their faces, or at least some kind of emotion, like as mentioned with 'The Garden' or 'The Pass'. The more passion there is for a song, the better it's translated live, I think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneLittleVictory Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Test for echo, that song is awesome. I love how geddy harmonizes with himself in that chorus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satchmothesnowdog Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Definitely La Villa , but after seeing them do Headlong Flight last night, I have a new favorite. Now if only they can get the hot violinist in the leather pants to join the band and play Losing it, i could die happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdanielpartridge Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Some of my favorites live: all of 2112 (Test For Echo Tour)Show Don't Tell (I love that song, so anytime they play it is fine with me.)instrumentals YYZ, La Villa Strangiato, Where's My Thing?, Leave That Thing Alone, Malignant Narcissism, The Main Monkey Business...Moving Pictures on Time Machine Tour was FANTASTIC! I would love to hear Beneath, Between, Behind LIVEWhat You're DoingSomething For NothingLessons And a bunch more, if I think hard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFEman Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Uh, I loved seeing Where's my Thing live after spending the last 3-4 years watching it live on youtube. I loved seeing Subdivisions, Force Ten, The Big money, Grand Designs, Middletown Dreams, Limelight (My father's favorite), and The Analog Kid, but for me, Carnies takes the cake (I think the pyro did it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WavesandWindows Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Can I have a say, even though I've never seen them live myself? if so, Faithless, Larger Bowl, Far Cry, Carnies, Headlong Flight..... I'm boring myself, let's just say the instrumentals and the last two albums have been great! Would love to see them end up playing in Australia. Also, I want HIGH WATER.

Brucey Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Some songs I'd love for them to play live are Tears, Cut To The Chase and Losing It. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyLee Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Digital Man - Love seeing that bass work being done live. Also Natural Science. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I guess it depends on whether were talking a current seeing or a past seeing. 10 years ago or more I would say Xanadu hands down. Currently I would say any of the instrumentals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hcm Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 When I was on the floor close this last show I went to I recorded both Where's my thing and Carnies(the pyro got me too) on my phone...I love watching it, love that it was MY show and MY view...such great memories I would love to see Losing it, kind of thought they would with this tour and the live strings and all, I was kind of bummed they didn't do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooohhh! Great call. Losing it is definitely one I would love to see them do that's never been done. Well within Geddy's current range as well. Great one, hcm! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hcm Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Thanks Kenny I was bummed I didn't get to see the alternate songs like Middletown this tour, 3 shows the same setlist,ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyLee Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 What an awesome time to do Losing It, though. How many violinists did they have right there on stage with them? Would have absolutely been the talk of the tour. Missed opportunity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YYZumbi Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I would like to see Secret Touch live and full version of 2112 and Xanadu (And rest of the songs, that wasent played on Clockwork Angels Tour :P ) A song that they havent played, that I wanna see live would be The Fountain Of Lamneth. And when I think about it, I also would like to see Rivendell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree but I still say it's such a downer of a song and not necessarily something they'd want to sing about at this stage in their careers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
