That One Guy Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 ... Should be Out Of The Cradle. Not only do I consider it one of the better Vapor Trails tunes, you get a long outro with Geddy singing the phrase "endlessly rocking" a number of times. It's just a fitting outro all around. It should end a show sometime. Assuming they're quitting before 70, they're looking at about 5 years or less 'til it's quits. Neil's recent story reminded me that he's in his mid sixties with a 5 year old daughter. They are going to "tend to their gardens" in the next couple of years. Barring world catastrophes, their music is going to have listeners for decades to come. With any luck, this forum might outlive their retirement by 10-20 years! They're going to be "endlessly rocking" in spirit. Why not end a show "endlessly rocking". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YYZumbi Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Or why not whole 2112? Or maybe A Farewell To Kings? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brucey Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Interesting idea, but, I don't think it would be well received. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Finish it off with 2112: The Grand Finale, good and proper. Limelight and Xanadu would also be good choices. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorkingAllTheTime Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 A three song medley... start with Tai Shan, fade into Speed of Love, close with Tears. It would be fun to watch people's heads explode with that end. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 In the Mood would bring them full circle. Wouldn't be my choice, though. @Bowl City: 2112, with the lights going out to "We have assumed control..." would be cool. @ CaptainObvious: Limelight seems like a frontrunner...or Tom Sawyer. LaVilla, with an epic "sayonara" rant, would be my choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tx_rush Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Limelight would be fitting and likely. In the Mood would be awesome, or In the End. Vital Signs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narps Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Side 3 off ATWAS would selfishly work for me as the final encore..... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) Something from Snakes and Arrows. Maybe Spindrift? Edited October 8, 2014 by Lorraine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del_Duio Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Interesting idea, but, I don't think it would be well received. Yeah, no chance of this happening. It's going to be either Tom Sawyer or Working Man I'd guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorkingAllTheTime Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 It won't happen, but "Entre Nous" would be a nice nod to the fans. I am thinking, though, they would go with one of the big dogs.... TS, Limelight, YYZ, TSOR, Syrinx. I would be shocked if they went with CTTH or something more recent. Of course, this is assuming they were to announce this tour as their last. That could be the case, I know. As much as I would hate it, I would not blame them. Their lifestyle on the road is much improved to deal with their age (Alex and Ged flying between and a day off between shows is a huge hint toward the fact that touring takes a toll on them). Plus, Alex has been a grandfather for a while, but I recently read Geddy is about to become a grandfather, as well. Neil now has a young child. I do wonder if those youngins might lead the guys to say it is time to transition and enjoy the little ones. No, I would not blame them one bit...

Disk98 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Working Man would seem the most fit. After all, that's the song that really got them started 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandkids are the best. You make all the mistakes with your own, but you get it right with the grandkids. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always thought that Grande Finale is a great song to end the show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I have a feeling it might be a medley like in R30 but done at the end. Kind of a recap of their career. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocalsBandGuy Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 "ATTENTION ALL PLANETS OF THE SOLAR FEDERATION. ATTENTION, ALL PLANETS OF THE SOLAR FEDERATION.........." 2112 Grand Finale with an epic drawn out ending based on that snare roll thing Neil does, where Ged & Al shred the crap out of the F# or Tom Sawyer (please no..........)

Mr. JD Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I can think of a lot of other songs I would rather hear, but Working Man should be the last song they play live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
