Disembodied Spirit Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Below is a song history of Rush concerts. And number of times each song has been performed in 40 plus years.Not sure if it is 100% accurate, but seems to be close. Link at bottom of list.Fascinating data. I apologize if this has been posted before. I think it's pretty cool.Moments until someone points out mistakes or questions this list in..3..2..1.Drum Solo WINS!Enjoy Play CountDrum Solo 15102112 Part I: Overture 13922112 Part II: The Temples of Syrinx- 1309Closer to the Heart 1264The Spirit of Radio 1258Tom Sawyer 1168YYZ 1050In the Mood 992La Villa Strangiato 952Limelight 937Xanadu 919Subdivisions 895The Trees 848Freewill 830Working Man 796Red Barchetta 7432112 Part VII: Grand Finale 729By-Tor & The Snow Dog 687Anthem 556Distant Early Warning 518Red Sector A 503Force Ten 495Dreamline 4952112 Part IV: Presentation 4782112 Part VI: Soliloquy 4772112 Part III: Discovery 476Vital Signs 463Cygnus X-1 457The Big Money 455Bastille Day 441Natural Science 441Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres Part I: Prelude 436Time Stand Still 382A Passage to Bangkok 378Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres Part IV: Armageddon 373Finding My Way 361Witch Hunt 349Roll the Bones 348New World Man 316The Camera Eye 309Marathon 297Something for Nothing 293A Farewell to Kings 280Bravado 273Leave That Thing Alone 272The Analog Kid 272Far Cry 267Mission 257Between the Wheels 254Manhattan Project 251Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres Part V: Cygnus 248Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres Part VI: The Sphere 248Beneath, Between & Behind 246The Pass 242Broon's Bane 237One Little Victory 236Red Lenses 234Digital Man 225Territories 221Show Don't Tell 220The Weapon 197Fly by Night 195Workin' Them Angels 195Secret Touch 187Resist 186Mystic Rhythms 182Animate 181Lakeside Park 177Where's My Thing? 173Stick It Out 170Circumstances 168Superconductor 165Caravan 154Cinderella Man 150Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres Part II: Apollo 150Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres Part III: Dionysus 150In the End 146Grand Designs 143Driven 135Ghost of a Chance 131Nobody's Hero 124Earthshine 123Jacob's Ladder 114Armor and Sword 113Spindrift 113Hope 113The Body Electric 113The Larger Bowl 113The Way the Wind Blows 113Malignant Narcissism 113The Main Monkey Business 113Countdown 112Middletown Dreams 99Wipe Out (The Surfaris cover) 98Chemistry 92Summertime Blues (Eddie Cochran cover) 84The Enemy Within 84BU2B 82Presto 82Faithless 82Turn the Page 80Prime Mover 80Lock and Key 80Clockwork Angels 72The Anarchist 72The Garden 72Headlong Flight 722112 Part V: Oracle: The Dream 71Carnies 71The Wreckers 71Halo Effect 70Test for Echo 69Half the World 69Limbo 69Virtuality 69Entre Nous 64Scars 64War Paint 64Cross Road Blues (Robert Johnson cover) 59JAM- Finding My Way / Anthem / Bastille Day / A Passage To Bangkok / Cygnus X-1 / Cygnus X-1 Book II: Part I: Prelude 57 Heart Full of Soul (The Yardbirds cover) 57The Seeker (The Who cover) 57Cold Fire 55Double Agent 55Afterimage 42Kid Gloves 42Between Sun and Moon 42Ghost Rider 40Seven Cities of Gold 38Wish Them Well 34Ceiling Unlimited 26What You're Doing 26Best I Can 25The Necromancer 15Bad Boy (Larry Williams cover) 14Time and Motion 13Need Some Love 9Here Again 8The Twilight Zone 4Fancy Dancer 3Garden Road 1Country Ditty 1Before and After 1I've Been Runnin' 1The Loser 1The Fountain of Lamneth 1Spoonful (Howlin’ Wolf cover) 1Foxy Lady (The Jimi Hendrix cover) 1Shapes of Things (The Yardbirds cover) 1Paint It Black (The Rolling Stones cover) 1Nights, Winters, Years (The Blue Jays cover) 1 http://www.setlist.f...h-13d6dd1d.html 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnRogers Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Interesting list obviously the song release dates are part of the calculus but clearly parts 2112, SOR and Tom Sawyer get constant love. This list should be used when crafting set list guesses. Another great Mopar engine post. Edited February 12, 2015 by JohnRogers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This list should be used when crafting set list guesses. Another great Mopar engine post.I thought the same logic on setlist building.You have to add 10-12 of the top 15 to ANY potential setlist don't you??It's the remaining 14 songs that are difficult Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalsBandGuy Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I'd love to see this list from the t4e tour forward........have to see if setlist.fm allows date ranges.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljr869 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I would have thought 'Roll the Bones' would have topped the list. Seemed like they played that song FOREVER, ugh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pale Facsimile Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I know it's over the span of 40 years, but just THINK about the concept of doing over 1,500 drum solos...makes my bones and muscles hurt just thinking about it. The fact that Spindrift has been played live considerably more than Middletown Dreams, Prime Mover, The Enemy Within, Presto, and Entre Nous makes me sad in the pants. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Dad Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 What songs were only played on tour supporting that album?Which songs were played on one tour only?What songs have been played knly on consecutive toues not counting drum solo?How many songs were never performed with Neil?

Todem Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 What really pops off the page for me is how criminally underplayed the brilliant Entre Nous was in the last 34 plus years of touring. I thought that was a huge highlight of the Snakes and Arrows tour (first leg). I hope they bring that one back for R40. Such a great song. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakota2112 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) I would have thought 'Roll the Bones' would have topped the list. Seemed like they played that song FOREVER, ugh. I started feeling this same way at some point between the last 5-10 years or so. :P Edited February 12, 2015 by dakota2112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaminbenb Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Interesting to say the least! Without seeing it right off the bat, what's the source for these setlists? I'd love to see a thing where you can plug in the show(s) you attended and see the statistics by album, sort of like what Dave Matthews has on their one fan site... kind of a neat function!

It wasn't played in it's entirety so I don't know if that counts or not. I don't think I've ever seen a setlist that showed that they opened with Bastille Day for that show either. But, they did and continued to open with it for the next (probably) 3 tours I saw after that. Take Care 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apetersvt Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) I think the list is accurate according to setlists posted to setlist.fm. However, many of the earlier tours don't have complete setlist included on setlist.fm. I think In The Mood is the song that has been played the most (after drum solo). It was on every tour through Presto. So, that would mean that it hasn't been played the last 7 tours. A song like Tom Sawyer was not played the first 7 tours. Those earlier tours had a lot more tour dates than the most recent ones. So, I'd be willing to bet that In The Mood has been played more than Tom Sawyer. The Necromancer was definitely played live. Bootlegs exist with that on it. It was played on The COS tour and the ATWAS tour. Edited February 12, 2015 by apetersvt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
