YYZumbi Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I just heard this song from Canada '81 (a soundboard bootleg from Moving Pictures Tour) and I have never really think about it before, but Limelight is a really awesome song! I hope they play it on next tour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Cub Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 There's no way in hell they WON'T play that one. Not that I'm complaining. I do love this song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x1yyz Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Limelight is not awesome it has epic status.... Agreed. I consider it overplayed, although I don't dislike it the way I do Tom Sawyer (which is also overplayed). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're both overplayed but they are good songs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they're overplayed simply because everyone that isn't a super-fan will come to the concert to hear those songs. Even if I hated both songs (which I don't) I'd be incredibly confused and paranoid leaving a concert without hearing them. The two have virtually become staples! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I would actually be disappointed if I went to a Rush concert and they didn't play Tom Sawyer/TSOR/Limelight. To me that's like eating Thanksgiving dinner and there's no mashed potatoes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yyz211282 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 They didn't play it last tour...so why won't you want to hear it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x1yyz Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 They didn't play it last tour...so why won't you want to hear it? Limelight was played on some sets during the last tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 They didn't play it last tour...so why won't you want to hear it? There was about a 50% chance you were gonna get Limelight on the CA Tour. Otherwise you were gonna get either Middletown Dreams or Body Electric.

Dscrapre Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I'm not a huge fan of Limelight. That one and Freewill are the "big hits" that I can take or leave for the most part. I'm not really sure why that is. They are both fine songs, but I just don't really care about them too much. I still haven't gotten sick of Tom Sawyer though. I still really love that song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
himey Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Limelight if they play it, this forum will be split. about half the people on here will bitch and the other half will be ok with it, give or take a few. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

losingit2k Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Limelight should return. YYZ is the song from MP that should take a rest this tour. Replaced with an Extended version of Mal-Nar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about they just play both...? Or better yet, replace MalNar with The Main Monkey Business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOOOO!!! Leave YYZ alone! We've heard YYZ on the last three tours. In everyway imaginable.. Give some of the other Instrumental a chance. Mainly Limbo, Mal-Nar and TMMB. Actually I would prefer if they recorded two new Songs / Instrumental for the 2015 tour (ala TTMT). :drool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm Ok with that as long as its the entire version with Acoustic intro. I have always felt it we be great if they would play all of LVS after an acoustic Solo by Alex.

I think it'd work as one of the last three songs after the drum solo, y'know, where they put their crowd-pleasers. Sandwich it between Natural Science and Tom Sawyer or something.
