AstrosJake Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) in Neil's interview on Sirius XM tonight, he mentioned the idea of a chronological setlist when he tossed around different things him, Geddy, and Alex talked about when discussing the set for this tour. What if this is actually what will happen? I don't think they'd make the whole set chronological, but maybe half of it. The first half of the show could be an arrangement of different songs they want to play, maybe some deeper stuff. The second half could be a total time machine through their whole career in order. Not exactly a song from every album (that would be one long half of the show), but something from every period in order. This example set would be unbelievable, and although it looks ridiculously long, it's about the same length as their CA setlist.

Cygnus 2112 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I like the looks of it, but the second set has to end with The Garden. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstrosJake Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 I like the looks of it, but the second set has to end with The Garden. that would be unbelievable. The only thing is, they kinda have to end with a radio hit that resonates with everyone. I'll switch the S&A songs with The Garden, that would be epic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus 2112 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 End with The Garden to signify the end of the band, then use the encore to give us all the big hits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alchemical Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Anthem? Geddy would end up collapsing his lungs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevind2112 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Anthem? Geddy would end up collapsing his lungs. Not if he sang it similar to how he did in the medley they did during the Roll The Bones tour (at about 14:00) http://youtu.be/rT_G3y1Yngw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIDE-ANGLE WATCHER Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 If it was a true chronological set list....I guess they're opening with Finding My Way...Even that opening riff to start off a medley would be awesome....An instrumental medley as follows....Finding My Way...Anthem....Working ManBy-Tor...Fly By Night...Beneath, Between and Behind...Didacts and Narpets...etc,etc,etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaminbenb Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 If this chronological setlist thing DOES come to major fruition (I'm getting discernibly turgid just thinking about it) I have a feeling that you'll see them start with Finding My Way, and run through Permanent Waves until the break...then come out after the break and run Moving Pictures through CA.... MY only thought for an encore out of sync would be playing the song "A Farewell to Kings" last! I wouldn't expect a dry eye in the house! (and I've already warned the friend I'm going to see this show with that I WILL be bringing tissues!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul2112 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 You forgot "Didacts and Narpets" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Mover and Shaker Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I'd love one song from each album, in order. Do this for both sets. Yeah, I know that's way too friggin' long, but that's what I want. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 End with The Garden to signify the end of the band, then use the encore to give us all the big hits.If that is what they do, there won't be a dry eye - male or female - in that audience, especially knowing that this is it.

HemiBeers Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) I like the looks of it, but the second set has to end with The Garden.yeah good song, but kind of downer to end a set. Do the Garden, and then end it with Headlong Flight. Better yet. The Garden, the opening of Bastille Day and then go right into Headlong Flight.

HemiBeers Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Actually I've read no string section on this tour. No strings...no The Garden? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I think what they'll probably do is something similar to Time Machine. It would be fun if they just threw caution to the wind and did something completely different and surprise us all. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtpoet Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I expect the last song to be Linelight or Tom Sawyer. After hearing the interview last night, I made a setlist that included an opening medley with songs from "era 1" (first 4 albums). The remainder of set 1 included songs from "era 2" (FTK - MP). Set 2 included songs from signals forward with many A set - B set selections. Finally, the encore was 4 songs long with one song from each "era" (Overture, New World Man, Headlong Flight, and ending with Limelight). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaminbenb Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Actually I've read no string section on this tour. No strings...no The Garden? And the way Neil talked in his interview, he made some sort of mention (when they were discussng set lists for THIS tour) of "well we DID that album the last tour, and some of this on that tour, so we won't be doing much of this" (loosely quoted) I'm sure they can play to "tapes" of a string section..they've done it before so....

Geddy's Soul Patch Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) It'd be interesting if they opened the show with an R40 medley of Rush through Hemispheres and then did the rest of the first set chronological and then do whatever they want for the second set Edited February 4, 2015 by Geddy's Soul Patch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disembodied Spirit Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 It'd be interesting if they opened the show with an R40 medley of Rush through Hemispheres and then did the rest of the first set chronological and then do whatever they want for the second setThis is exactly what I was thinking.1st set- A chronological history2nd set- A deep tracks opening followed by rapid fire session of staplesEncore- Tom, Spirit, Freewill....Rocking hits...

Obviously it's going to be tuned down and the arrangement might be a little different, but I think he could pull it off with his yodel style...

Jaminbenb Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 The other thought that came to me when I was walking at the gym earlier is that they could take the Chronicles CD set and just use that as a blue print for their set list up until Presto...two songs, in chronological order from each album (except three from Moving Pictures, and a few live options) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
