Todem Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 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? I'm a huge setlist nut and have studied Rush's setlists religiously over the years. The earlier ones are a little difficult to track because who knows if they played certain songs in Omaha or some other horseshit city and it never got documented in the past 40 years? I feel like the setlist reports from 1977 forward are more reliable. I'm guessing on the songs for the CoS and 2112 tours. What songs were only played on tour supporting that album? CoS - I Think I'm Going Bald2112 - The Twilight Zone (Oracle: The Dream never played until TFE tour)AFTK - Cinderella ManHemispheres - Hemispheres (Full-Version - an abbreviated version appeared on PeW tour)PeW - Jacob's LadderMP - N/ASignals - Chemistry, CountdownGuP - The Enemy Within, Afterimage, Kid GlovesPoW - N/A (Grand Designs and Middletown Dreams reappear again only on CA tour)HYF - Prime Mover, Lock And Key, Turn The PagePresto - War Paint, Scars (Presto never played until TM tour)RTB - N/A (Where's My Thing? finally played again on CA tour)Counterparts - Cold Fire, Double Agent (Between Sun & Moon never played until VT tour)TFE - Half The World, Virtuality, Limbo, Time And Motion, Test For EchoVT - Ceiling Unlimited, Ghost RiderS&A - Armor & Sword, Spindrift, The Way The Wind Blows, Main Monkey Business, Malignant Narcissism, The Larger Bowl, Hope (Faithless never played until TM tour) What about Red Lenses...I guess your counting the Power Window warm up tour as that song being played on a tour not in support of the album (even though that was still technically the Grace Under pressure Tour as all P/G swag was sold on that tour along with the P/G tourbook).

Todem Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) Chemistry was played on the RTB tour in '92? I heard it's never played. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNJh_P__WMk (Singals tour) They played it, but then dropped it out of the setlist towards the end.... Signals Tour (New World Tour)September 3, 1982 - July 23, 1983Signals released: September 25th, 1982 TourdatesSetlistsThis is the first time the "Three Stooges Theme" was used to open the shows; it would be used until the Presto tour and then return for one final time for Vapor Trails tour. As demonstrated in numerous recordings, Rush had fun this tour, often changing the lyrics to some of the older songs such as "The Spirit of Baseball" and "The Plumbers of Syrinx" (with Lerxst adding additional vocals). For this tour, "The Camera Eye" was abbreviated such that only the "New York" or "London" section would be performed each night on a seemingly random basis. Although the setlist remained the same throughout most of this tour, "Chemistry" and "The Camera Eye" were dropped from the setlist in Germany, and although "The Camera Eye" was brought back for later dates, "Chemistry" did not return and has not been played since.

Amazing how crisp and solid Neil's Tama kit always sounded. That was no doubt my favorite era of Rush 78-87. Crisp, tight musically always on the money and the separation of the instruments was always pristine. Vocally Geddy has never been awesome live on a night to night consistent basis. Funny thing IMO the best I ever heard him vocally was a couple of tours far later in the gauntlet in the T4E tour and the S&A tour (both legs). Vocally for Geddy, he was on the money on those tours like never before. Edited February 17, 2015 by Todem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandDesigner Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) What about Red Lenses...I guess your counting the Power Window warm up tour as that song being played on a tour not in support of the album (even though that was still technically the Grace Under pressure Tour as all P/G swag was sold on that tour along with the P/G tourbook). They did a snippet of Red Lenses on the PoW/HYF tours as part of Peart's solo. It wasn't the full song, so you're correct in that it never appeared in full after the P/G and PoW warm-up tours.

dtpoet Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Great list Grand Designer! Setlistonomics is so much fun! I'm curious if they are going to be willing to break the mold this being "the last tour of this magnitude." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disembodied Spirit Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 That list gets mighty interesting towards the bottom.. Wow! And how did the new guy's solo beat everything else?? :PA buddy of mine brought up the idea of NO DRUM SOLO.I personally think this is an Impossible idea, but with the possible scaled down drum kit is it plausible??Say it ain't so.

If he's having two drum sets we'll probably have at least two drum solos. Edited March 16, 2015 by EagleMoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaminbenb Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 On that one it was "Ben" Sometimes it was Ben B, other times Jammin Ben..I forget what all Dan used for my reviews. I used to trade with him a lot, (after doing a bunch of "two for one's" to get my CD-r collection started) and I'd tell him what I thought about some shows, and he said I should do reviews, so I sent him a bunch here and there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
