True, I hear ya. It's all the part of the fun even if we're all wrong lol. You think like me (possibility) the last tour and the threads and speculations shouldn't matter cos at the end of the day we should be greatful for this upcoming tour because it's might be (for some of us) will be the last time we hear the Tom Sawyer's,The Spirit of Radio's and all the other live staple songs we loved over the Years. Not to mention to seeing our boys up there on the Stage.

The speculation is fun. I want to predict a list, but can't commit to anything. I think they'll pull a few really old ones out, can reason why/how they could do it, but am not ready to pinpoint which ones.

I like it cuz its a Rush setlist and tries to pull from all eras...

 

But I think the band said they are looking to play older stuff that's been on the shelf for awhile. I hope! The first set opens heavy with post 1991, and then closes with the less popular 80s albums. Love Enemy Within but has very similar feel as CA tour. Subdivisions overplayed but fun. Still great Rush! fans from the last tour that had to sit around for three hours until they stopped ignoring their entire 1970s era might not like being ignored again...

 

Then set 2 goes oldies, but to the songs they've played a million times. I tried a mix of old/popular/not played much on mine above.

 

But hey, if they play yours, I'm still rockin with ya there!

Edited March 27, 2015 by Gabrielgil513

[TexMike]

Gabrielgil513, if you count Permanent Waves as a 1970s album, then nearly all of the second set I proposed is from that era. Yes, the first set is all post-Moving Pictures, but the second set would make up for that. And that would be the difference from the CA show where the '70s didn't really show up until the encore. Yes, many tunes I suggested might be called overplayed by diehards, but they are still considered classics by the casual fans (who the band has to please as well). And really, when was the last time we got a full "Xanadu" AND a full "Natural Science" in the same show? They are only going to play a couple of their long epic pieces, not ALL of them.

 

I know Geddy said on TMS that they would attempt to "dabble", but I think the people expecting as many songs from the first three albums as were in your setlist will be disappointed. The guys don't really care for those records (Neil especially), plus Geddy can't realistically still sing most of that stuff. A lot of what they attempt in rehearsal just won't pass their standards of today.

 

I think "A Farewell To Kings" and "Hemispheres" have the best chance of having some of their treasures unearthed. Let's hope so! But other than a few special nuggets added in, I think this show will still follow the established Rush show pattern. It's their fortieth anniversary and they will acknowledge all 40 of those years (and the songs most people know) in some way.

 

Only six more weeks till we find out for sure!

Cant wait! I am with you on AFTK and Hemis- I think we agree on those two!

You do have alot of great 70s tunes towards the end, it seems that they have played all of those since R30/VT tours. If this is their last big tour, its one last chance to play "that" tune thats been left off so many times. I give Rush credit, they do seem to pull a couple of rabbits out, even when they have a new album to promote! I recall hearing both Xanadu (which we agree on) and Nat Sci (love it- but left off since its been done multiple tours recently). Maybe not the full version, but they have been played.

 

I will stick to my first set for now, I think it is fair- not too much from the first three albums and addresses the "popularity" concern. Anthem is the first stretch here. Hasnt been played in eons (except for the R30 medly), and if Ged modifies the vocals, that would be great to hear (lets face it, he'll have to modify alot at this stage). Anthem is a huge rocker, even for casual fans not familiar, that place would be jumping! May a need to replace a song in the first set with an instrumental, to give Geds voice a rest, I would chose Leave that Thing Alone (from your list).

 

2 more stretches - Different Strings and Cut (both never been played). And judging by TRF- seems there is a large demand for both of these. Strings would be a great 'rest' tune and easy on the voice. Nice mood shift deep cut from a very popular album. Another stretch is Red Tide, I have always liked this one, and its on the 'Never Played List' on the PoW web site. To repeat a HYF or PoW tune, I dont see any advantage with the 'casual' fans there. I think they should be reaching for a few never been played tunes.

 

I'm closing out set one with two mega Rush popular tunes, Xanadu and Tom Sawyer. That would demolish the house! Also Red Barchetta and Limelight in Set 1- thats 4 out of 10 hugely popular Rush tunes in set one- a far cry above the CA tour set 1!

[TexMike]

Gabrielgil513, your list (especially set 1) would be great and I didn't mean to imply otherwise. Anthem (complete with vocals), Cinderella Man and Cut To The Chase would be sweet. Why they've never played CTTC is beyond me. It's a totally rockin' song and not too demanding vocally. Hopefully, this time!

 

Xanadu, I believe, will be saved for the second set. And I doubt they'll ignore their more recent albums as much as your list, but I'd be totally cool if they did!

[GabesCavesOfIce]

Nah, I really like lookin over everyone's list.set 2 has something unique in it, but that's where there was too much early stuff, if there is such a thing!

I wonder what the setlist would look like if the band played purely what THEY wanted, rather than trying to (even partly) please fans?

I am sure that the majority of people on this Forum would take any setlist from the band, as long as they can pulled it off as musicians, especially Geddy's voice.

Spare me the order

I was kind enough to live not one or two but 3 free spots for your restless dreams of youth

you can wet your moustache thinking Test for echo, The weapon, Scars!

But honestly they will fill it with:

-More bubba & lerxts solos

- "take a piss and re-fill your beer" songs like: bravado or the pass (as usual)

 

And some wrong choice song like: freewilly, wish them hell, xanax-du as they are closer to the heart...attack.

I drew a lot of the set up for R30 using an almost 2:1 ratio. Moving Pictures is ground zero. The ratio applies to songs post- MP versus pre-MP, excluding a medley, solos, and acoustic sets.

 

R30 had 28 songs; 4 from MP, 12 post, 9 pre, & 3 Feedback. My R40 is 26 songs (hey, it's 10 years later) 4 from MP, 14 post, & 8 pre. Tough deciding what goes and what stayed but here it is what I came up with....

 

SET 1

Headlong Flight

Animate

Driven

Freewill

Time Stand Still

a. Red Barchetta / b. Vital Signs

Kid Gloves

Marathon

a. Dreamline / b. Red Sector A

YYZ

Xanadu

 

SET 2

2112: Temples of Syrinx

a. Distant Early Warning / b. Roll The Bones

Jacob's Ladder

a. Mission / b. Nobody's Hero

I like it dt, but add up the minutes and you'll find you need to trim a decent bit.

 

1st set at 75 minutes is a solid 15 minutes too long.

 

2nd is probably 10 minutes long.

 

Encore is 15 minutes, tops the last number of tours.

 

Trim it and see what you get. I'd like to see it. I'm gonna give my set a final looking over and repost it.

[GabesCavesOfIce]

dt,the a and b are rotated in and out? If so you may have a realistic set length. Some good surprises you have, but seems light on 70s. Seems to be unanimous theme on TRF, they ain't gonna play much 70s.

 

I think it would be beyond spectacular to hear something for nothing, Bastille day or anthem. Any vintage tune that hasn't seen the light of day in eons. They successfully redid vocals for circumstances, that sounded great on SnA.
