Skip Tom Sawyer

Pretty sure they actually skipped TSOR 2nd show of CA tour. Probably the only time since 1980.

 

There are a few Songs Rush will never shelve.

 

Tom Sawyer

The Spirit Of Radio

 

And they should never shelve them. Everyone loves them, and they always play them with fire and energy. So even after all these decades....they still love playing them as much as we love hearing them. And I appreciate the fact they understand they are a generational band and they always have new fans seeing them for the first time. So they make sure those Rush Virgins get their Tom Sawyer and Spirit of Radio in all their live glory.

 

I definitely think it's unlikely they'd shelve it, but Spirit of Radio was definitely omitted from at least 3 shows on the CA tour:

I was at the tour opener and was beyond shocked that Limelight wasn't played. I thought that was another mainstay. Turns out they hardly touched it during the first bunch of shows.

 

That is not shelved. Shelved is when they do not touch it on a tour.

I didn't say they shelved it...but the fact that it was even not played at a single show is huge imo. Even though I don't care if it gets played, walking out of a Rush show without having heard it would be bizarre,

I've never been to show without TSOR or TS and I haven't missed a tour since Signals. If either was skipped I'd be standing in the arena with the lights up and some dude sweeping the floor, knowing any time now they'll come out and play them.
