coventry Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I don't see how it couldn't be "2112" in terms of climactic finale and pathos-ridden journey. Maybe "Limelight" - but that would seem almost too short a journey. "La Villa" would end too suddenly. Nothing else would fit the role of a closing career song. "2112" made them - it would be fitting to dance with the one who brought you to prom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrystress Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Limelight or Countdown... Maybe In The End or Natural Science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughedatbytime Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Lots of great ideas. But my old bones would love to see them go out with the whole crowd clapping along to In The Mood. Still the best finale in all these years, imo. Good God Horrible song... I dont agree. Back when they often closed the show with it, it brought the house down. The lyrics are corny, I admit, but its a great song. :)But Pookie HAS to be included somewhere in the rendition, hopefully prominently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughedatbytime Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Becuase Rush are Rush, they'll probably end up playing the theme song from Austin Powers as the last song, for all we know. Or something from Monty Python.If it's from one of these, I hope it's from the funny one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detonator Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I think "The Garden" or "Afterimage" would be great. Sad but great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disk98 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I think "The Garden" or "Afterimage" would be great. Sad but great.Afterimage is probably too much of a deep cut, but the lyrics would fit the situation. The Garden is pretty well-known and liked among us Rush fans, and there won't be a dry eye in the arena if that's the song they choose to go out with. I personally think it'll be Tom Sawyer. It is their most popular song, after all. Hopefully, though, that day won't come for at least another couple years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micgtr71 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 You know I have heard the "this could be their last tour" rumors since Hold Your Fire, so I will play along hoping that there will be another tour. Realistically I think they will do something like yyz. I would think Oveture/Grand Finale would be great as well. An instrumental medley would be great too.

The first rumor of farewell tour I heard was Grace Under Pressure. That was also not far in time from the "Neil has cancer" rumors. This was when there were no interwebz. For me, Finale is the obvious choice, but I wouldnt mind In The Mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think sending us out in tears may be a bad idea. :) Tom Sawyer's another great idea, that or Spirit of Radio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a tough time for Rush enthusiasts, Neil had a ponytail back-ended mullet AND (sacrilege) had integrated electronic drums into his kit. http://rush-territories.com/s/cc_images/cache_2450497669.jpg http://andrewolson.com/Neil_Peart/neil_images/neil_grace.jpg Edited December 27, 2014 by lerxt1990 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
