Del_Duio Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 There must be someone here that has the inside scoop and knows something about their plans. I really am starting to get nervous. It's almost October and not a word about anything other than releasing expensive box sets. What are they doing??? If they're smart, they'll delay announcing a tour until after the box set comes out. That sounds mercenary to me. Whose idea is it for these money-making box sets anyway?There must be someone here that has the inside scoop and knows something about their plans.

I remember in an interview Geddy mentioned that they divided up band decision making between the 3 of them. Neil is in charge of merchandise. Oh no!THE CIRCLE IS COMPLETE!!!http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/i338/ericesmith1/nealandpete.jpg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraroc Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) If this is the real setlist, or at least one of them (As you all know, they had different setlist every other day or so) then that means the earliest thing (with vocals) looks like The Spirit of Radio. I wonder if they will alternate the setlist and have older material on it. Are you this stupid in real life? In what way could that be the "real setlist"? this thread is f***ing funny. but what's funnier than this is the guy up there saying OMG WITCH HUNT!!! as if it wasnt played in 2008, 2010 and 2011... Is it illegal to have a favorite Rush song that I'd love to hear being played live? Didn't think so. Edited September 22, 2014 by fraroc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that's been the plan all along. Just in time for the holidays.with a Sepember 2015 start date. I was thinking they probably would start a tour in the Spring since they seem to like to do outdoor venues. I don't know why? They sound so much better in doors! :codger: Yeah I know. I wish they'd play more indoor venues. Rush was meant to be heard in an enclosed space where you can hear everything so much better. Not only that, indoors one really gets the best of the light show, with the reflections off the arena walls and ceiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upstateNYfan Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I don't think we'll hear an announcement until early 2015. Why? It builds anticipation which helps boost early ticket sales. I'm sure there are lots of ideas they are throwing around too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del_Duio Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I still don't get Jacob's Ladder. I mean, there's not a ton of singing and it's all low register for Geddy.They have much more complicated songs they still play musically too, so it can't be that. Weird huh?? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't agree with you more. Jacob's Ladder and Losing It are WELL within his range and would be the absolute talk of the tour. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalsBandGuy Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 I'm so tempted to keep quiet and let the madness continue, but I just can't do it. Do people read anymore, or is skimming now considered reading? Apparently, I've not only got the inside info on the OPENING NIGHT of the tour, but I know the setlist before rehearsals even begin. I'm like Spock I guess. All I said is they will be playing CT in the spring of 2015. And, I stick by it. Spring runs Mar 21-Jun 21. The setlist was clearly labeled a prediction, but feel free to send it to Anthem as official, because I personally love it. There's a reason they did so much PoW stuff last tour......he feels confident singing it. Most pre 1981 stuff is just not realistic in any large dose at all. Freewill & Hemispheres will never happen again. Now, I've been lucky enough to see every tour since 1985, minus the CP tour (Prelude!!!!! Ahhhh!!!) so I've had my fill of TS, LL, YYZ, SUB, and all the other live staples. I'm praying for simply different songs, and I think we'll see them. OK, back to the madness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtpoet Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 (edited) LBG - I agree. Very little pre-1981 is my guess as well. Since I have fun making setlists, I'm going to make another one that is basically improvised because I'm at work.

Most of the rest of Set 1 has been done on recent tours and would be disappointing, not something that I would want for a new dvd release Set 2 is good, but other than the fear series nothing really stands out but again it's realistic Encore is interesting and solid but nothing remarkable You only have one song that's never been played live (Freeze - not counting the new song) And three songs that haven't been played in a long time (The Enemy Within, The Weapon, The Spehre) Overall, a good believable and manageable setlist although I hope they would dig a little deeper like they did on the CA tour. Length seems slightly shorter than the CA tour which is what will probably happen and all of the songs are vocally doable for Geddy. Biggest criticism is the lack of instrumentals and drum solos sprinkled throughout the sets.

Lorraine Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Length seems slightly shorter than the CA tour .. I can fix that right up. Xanadu in its entirety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalsBandGuy Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 Actually, I fully expect to have 5 minute shorter sets next time around. Old age hurts them bones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtpoet Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Like I said, it was a quickie. I do try for realistic and the fear series is something doable with Ged's voice. I also think the sets will be shorter. I actually prefer three sets of 6-7 songs plus and encore but I guess that has the same effect of 2 sets of 10+/- songs with an encore. There aren't any deeper cuts but there are plenty that while played on past tours, weren't played on CA tour. Marathon is interesting because I originally thought it wasn't played in CA because it was played on previous tour but now I'm wondering if it's because of the vocal register.

Empty Mindless Spectre Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Is the first show supposed to be in CT? I would think they'd play some dates down south before going to the Northeast. I assume it's at Mohegan Sun? I'm pretty sure they have opened up tours in CT before, but I don't think there was any mention of this being the tour opener.
