YYZumbi Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 I am just wondering, have Rush played Tom Sawyer on every Tour and Concert since 1981? I have tryed to find out, but cant find any info about it.
Segue Myles Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Zumbi, is it true that you really hate the song? Surely thats impossible?
Snaked Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 There are setlists and substitutions for every tour posted at http://www.2112.net/powerwindows/tours/Tours.htmI'm not going to swear that they played TS at EVERY show because there is a chance there was a technical glitch at some point and they dropped it somewhere... but yes, it has been in the setlist for every tour and was played at the Molson Blind Date and SARStock as well as the RnRHoF induction
Lorraine Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Zumbi, is it true that you really hate the song? Surely thats impossible? On the thread you "woke up" about the most hated Rush song, that's what he wrote - Tom Sawyer and Cygnus - but I didn't know if he was teasing or not.
YYZumbi Posted June 24, 2014 Author Posted June 24, 2014 Zumbi, is it true that you really hate the song? Nah, I dont really hate it, I am just really really really tired of it, since its been overplayed. But I cant say that its a bad song.

I overplayed p/g.
Narps Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 They played it on the Permanent Waves tour. At least the show I saw they did...

But I cant say that its a bad song. I love Tom Sawyer. I love watching Neil beat those drums, Geddy's hand slide up and down that bass neck, and the same chords that Alex plays over and over in it. (An non-professional description.)

Lorraine Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 It has a 12:15 version of Xanadu on it! :o :wub: :wub: 1

RushBoingo Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Yeah, as far as I can tell, its the only song that they have played at every show since its release (and the warm up tour before it)

Intro line is flipped...keys are extra-terrestrial. :D ..Alex's solo is pure shredding ...the epic tom runs are missing :tsk: ...changed bridge lyrics...and they don't seem able to decide upon a tempo. 1
Cygnus 2112 Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 They didn't play Tom Sawyer in Quebec this year due to having to be off the stage early. So Far Cry is the only song they have played every night since it's release.
RushBoingo Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Good Point Cygnus 2112. I forgot Far Cry (and not to mention the CA songs) due to them being relatively new. So Tom Sawyer is the only song that has been played every night since it's inception* (*Montreal 2013)
Cygnus 2112 Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Good Point Cygnus 2112. I forgot Far Cry (and not to mention the CA songs) due to them being relatively new. So Tom Sawyer is the only song that has been played every night since it's inception* (*Montreal 2013)I didn't include the Clockwork Angels songs because they have only been on one tour.
Curly Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 I'm pretty sure they didn't play it on the first few tours.That's what I was gonna say! They didn't play it the first two times I saw them (because they hadn't written it yet).
