pfrushfan0122 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Now, I understand it was played last tour and they had to make room for newer songs, but why did they have to cut BU2B. This was my first tour seeing the guys live, so before the set was released, I was really excited to see this one live. I mean it is a kick-ass track, and in my opinion one of the (many) strong tracks on the album. They could've easily switched it out with a song like WTW since there isn't as big of a popularity that follows that one. I mean, I don't know. It was an OUTSTANDING tour and set regardless!!! The absence of the song was not noticeable at the time, but I think it would've been sweeter with BU2B's inclusion. Now Losing It is a whole other issue... Don't even get me started... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gangsterfurious Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I would have liked to have seen it instead of Seven Cities, while I like that song it appeared that hardly anybody knew it at the shows I went to. Oh well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersyl Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Yes, I was disappointed when they didn't play it, but not as much as I was when I first heard BU2B2 and it wasn't the kick-ass instrumental I was expecting it to be!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.D Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I ran into a couple of the string players in Salt Lake and of course asked them if any songs( Losing It, Bu2b) had been rehearsed but not included? Losing It -No, Bu2b- Yes. I would always have liked to hear more songs period, but I heard Bu2b alot on Time Machine so I wasn't too bummed. I am, however, still bummed they wouldn't sign my jersey though, why Neil why?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snorlax2112 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Well, they did play much better songs than BU2B, at least in my opinion. I really wanted them to play something from Test for Echo or Fly by Night, but they sadly didn't play that either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobo73 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 My husband still talks about how bummed he is that they didn't play it lol. Truth be told, I was a little sad, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. JD Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 It would have been great if they included BU2B but not at the expense of the other CA songs. We heard BU2B on the Time Machine tour and it was great live. The songs it probably would have replaced on the CA tour like Seven Cities, Wish Them Well, or Halo Effect, we probably would never get the chance to hear live again. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughedatbytime Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I saw it on the Time Machine Tour so I was mildly disappointed, but my son was pretty disappointed he didn't get to see it at either of the shows we saw on the CA Tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddyLeeRoth Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I was slightly bummed on the first leg that they had dropped it, but it still kinda made sense—they had to make room for the other CA songs, because the whole album is killer! I'm just glad they played WTW at both shows I saw on Legs 1&2, its one of my favorites and totally underrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddysMullet Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Yes! Before the tour, I was hoping they'd play the entire album as an album. When that didn't turn out to be the case, and I discovered that the setlist was being changed up, I was hoping that they'd do BU2B so there could be a live album with the string ensemble playing on all of the Clockwork Angels songs. But I was wondering whether maybe the reason they left it out was that there wasn't a good enough part in it for the strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnify Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 yeah, I would have liked to have had this one in the set. I loved it on the Time Machine tour - but that was before CA was released. Something about the new mix on CA and hearing it in the context of the album that made it even more intense. On the other hand, IF they included it, it would be at the expense of another song. Which to cut? I can't say which; the second set was kick-ass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevycanavan Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Not disappointed, having seen it on the time machine tour. Rush have so many great songs, and probably so few tours left, that I'm glad they found room for do many power windows tracks this tour. Their best album in my opinion. Clockwork angels is their best album since roll the bones, and it was right to play so many from it, and I guess either caravan or bu2b had to get dropped. If it was up to me I would have left out wish them well instead, but its not up to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theanalogmiddleagedman Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I love Brought Up to Believe. I think it is one if the best on the album. If just rocks out. I would have preferred skipping Halo Effect.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Sure I love BU2B but I could handle it was dropped because it was played on the TM tour and it was replaced by another CA track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not me. Halo Effect is my favorite song on the album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaminbenb Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Nah...they played it last tour...and if you want a "live document" then take a "boot" from the last tour, and add BU2B to a boot from THIS tour... I'm more disappointed that they didn't do BU2B2.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alchemical Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I was pretty bummed. It's one of my faves off of CA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeminiRising79 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I'd be thrilled if CA was exempt for the playlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losingit2k Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I'd be thrilled if CA was exempt for the playlist. Anyway, we'll probably see BU2B (Album version) back in the setlist next tour. I think it would work great after Alex's Solo since the album version starts with Acoustic guitar. :rush: :haz: :rush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
