Super25Smasher Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I've heard a rumor they might play another entire album like they did with Moving Pictures. While I'd like Permanent Waves, maybe all of 2112? Lessons and Tears need to make their live debut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geddy's Soul Patch Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 2112, Xanadu, La Villa. Maybe some others in medley format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super25Smasher Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 An R40 Overture of sorts would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiBeers Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Drum Solo....then Al plays Hope...then Al and Ged do an unplugged version of different strings. It would give Neil a nice 5-6 minute break. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedRush Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I just hope they skip Working Man to make room for another 70s song. Many of the options here are great, but I'd love to see a nod to either FoL or The Necromancer...just a short instrumental section would make me delirious. I would prefer rarely played live songs over ones that used to be in heavy rotation but are not. I may enjoy the latter more in concert, but I have so many versions of those on CD, I'd rather capture something not put on a live album before. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disk98 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I predict: 2112La Villa StrangiatoXanaduWorking ManThe Spirit of Radio Maybe, MAYBE The Trees and/or Natural Science (Yes, PeW is a '70s album!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troutman Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Fly By Night, Lakeside Park, Overture/Temples/Grand Finale, A Passage To Bangkok, Xanadu, Cinderella Man and La Villa. I know they're not big fans of FBN but come on, it's their 40th anniversary tour, they need to dust off one of their most well known songs. How the hell has Lakeside Park not been played in like 30 years? Man, If I get to go and they play Lakeside Park I will freak out!! :codger: :haz: :7up: :rush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThinkingBig Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Since there are a LOT of people on here that enjoy the 70's more than any other Rush decade (hell, some people on here probably ONLY like the 70's), let's have a little fun. Last tour they went Power Windows happy. While I enjoyed the hell out of that because I love Power Windows, I'm sure they'd be a little more keen on pulling out some other, perhaps older stuff, considering the only tune from the 70's that was played was (go figure) 2112. What 70's songs do you think they'll play this tour? Permanent Waves does not count, before anybody tries it. Xanadu Xanadu Xanadu and the Snowgog X21ndu12.

timhorton Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I would love to hear Xanadu, Cinderella Man, Something For Nothing. FBN/In The Mood would be great to hear again. I hope they shelve 2112 Overture/Temples. That has been done to death. Working Man can stay retired also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowdog212 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Something For Nothing!! :haz:That would be cool along with Beneath Between Behind 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losingit2k Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I don't really know but I'm hoping for: XanaduLa Villa StrangiattoHemispheres (Prelude)2112The Trees But We'll probably just get an Instrumedley: (Working Man, Fly By Night, The Necromancer, a Passage to Bangkok, Cygnus X-1, Hemispheres (prelude), Freewill) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bytor and the Snow-Dog Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 The Trees A mostly instru-medley such as: 2112 OvertureXanadu (0:00-4:24) --->The Necromancer (5:18-6:58) --->By-Tor & The Snowdog (6:00-7:33) --->In The Mood (short live version) The necromancer, I f***ing wish.. :/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtpoet Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I think we are going to be surprised by quite a few of the selections this go around. Just a gut feeling. It's the last tour of this magnitude. I think they will consider powering through songs they've passed over before. I also wouldn't be surprised if some 70's songs get split into an A list / B list sort of thing say The Trees with Closer To The Heart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driven_to_xanadu Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 AnthemWorking ManXanaduCygnus X-1 and/or Book 2 PreludeBastille Day I find it hard to believe they will pull out some deep stuff from the 70's, we will be lucky to get 1 song from Caress of Steel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Dad Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 A wicked kick ass medley of 70's jams, just the music. I would love some rarities but don't see them doing too many, as much as we'd love to hear them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GernTheFish Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I'm sure they'll put an instrumental medley in the setlist somewhere. It's a great way for fans to hear old stuff without Geddy having to sing the high notes. I'm not a fan of medley's generally, but I think Rush's music works great in that format. They did one on R30, so I'm sure they'll do it for R40. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super25Smasher Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Maybe they'll do one featuring songs from Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures, Signals, Grace Under Pressure, Power Windows, and Hold Your Fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathory Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 closer to the heartoverture/temples maybe working man or trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Some of these choices may have Donovan ordering Ludens by the case load for Ged! An acoustic low key version of In The End might work for Bubba's break. How about all-instrumental versions of Fountain or Beneath, Between and Behind wrapped around the drum solo somehow? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbertk Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I wouldn't be shocked if a lot of that is relegated to a new overture since I'm sure Geddy still isn't able to hit a lot of those high notes without some serious down-tuning. I would guess (mildly off topic...ish) that with one of the major bonuses of the R40 set being the 1997 show, there might be a focus on 90's music that never got much play after the T4E tour. Just my guess. (Personally hoping for Limbo) I am hoping for some 70's surprises though. The Necromancer would be AWESOME but... Hahaha, yeah right. By-Tor maybe? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
