Aikenrooster Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Anyone else getting the feeling that this is going to be a greatest hits tour? If so, that's going to suck. Are there any quotes or spoilers or evidence, so far, to hint that there will be some deeper cuts on this tour? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narps Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 If so I hope they consider Natural Science, Xanadu, Book I and II and 2112 to be greatest hits. Just to name a few... :sigh: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaked Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 It's a retrospective tour. Celebrating 41 years of RUSH. Which means.... largely the setlist will be hits... with a few deep tracks tossed in for good measure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disembodied Spirit Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Most of the hits will be included. For better or for worse.I am assuming the big 10-14 career songs.I am hoping for 3-8 shockers. Xanadu, Jacob..etcThe fact they are warming up in LA and not Toronto means Neil is calling the shots.Another indication, this is it. I am going with the assumption this is the final tour. So if it is a hits tour, I'm fine for the last go round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 The Set Will not be a deep 70's fest......sorry folks. 70's medley's with a normal block of 80'/90's material and far cry and Caravan and s.....stuff, lol Mick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkPrattLerxst Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Alex said in an interview before the tour was announced that they want to do stuff that they've never played before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombstone Mountain Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 The Set Will not be a deep 70's fest......sorry folks. Don't be sorry. He can't sing that stuff anymore. Stick to instrumental medley from that era 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathory Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I'd be fine with that. better killer hits than you bet your life or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathory Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I would like some deep cuts though and I think we'll get some from the 80s/90s but I don't expect a lot of 70s stuff except maybe working man, definitely overture/temples and CTTH, hopefully the trees 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geddy's Soul Patch Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Not necessarily greatest hits, but rather fan favorites (fingers crossed for Xanadu) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimsonmistymemory Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 My hope is they do at least 1 complete song off every album. I have expressed my thoughts on the medley and do not want to re-hash. But at least one off of the early stuff and a lot of instrumentals to represent a path through the passage of time mixed with the more "popular" tunes would be good. It would be nice if their mind set was to do a bunch of deep cuts old and new. But if one looks at the set list picks of the past they do have a recipe formula of how they assemble the dish. But hopefully some surprises are in order.. It has happened before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GabesCavesOfIce Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) I would like some deep cuts though and I think we'll get some from the 80s/90s but I don't expect a lot of 70s stuff except maybe working man, definitely overture/temples and CTTH, hopefully the trees 3 are exactly the same 70s stuff from the last 2 tours, and the trees was in a recent tour also. Just don't understand this perspective, paying hundreds of dollars for the same songs they performed the last five or so years. They changed around Circumstances on SnA and it sounded good. If LL Cool Ged can still sing CTTH he can sing many of the 70s tunes. Folks, thanks for coming out. To reward your loyalty, were gonna reach back to the glory years. Here is The Trees, it's been seven long years since we played this one for you! . Edited April 4, 2015 by Gabrielgil513 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugen Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 the guys said this to make things clear : "Recent interviews with both Neil Peart and Alex Lifeson tend to indicate that the tour will take a retrospective look at Rush's 40-year career and include a good bit of older material that the band will alternate from night to night" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WIDE-ANGLE WATCHER Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Anyone else getting the feeling that this is going to be a greatest hits tour? If so, that's going to suck. Are there any quotes or spoilers or evidence, so far, to hint that there will be some deeper cuts on this tour? Is there something wrong with the 'Greatest' hits? As the definition of 'Great' changed? I'm cool with a chronological Greatest Hits setlist. Sure, some deep cuts are welcome....I think that will happen with 5-7 alternating songs.

Bhawk2112 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 "Greatest Hits?" As in plural? That's not possible. It's Rush. A Greatest Hits show would consist of a one song set of New World Man. :laughing guy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexMike Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 You can bank on hearing the usual 8-10 most well-known Rush songs (side 1 of MP, Spirit, 2112, Freewill, Subvisions, CTTH, Trees), but I hope they will overhaul the set a bit beyond that. I took Geddy's comment of 'songs that reached the audience' on TMS to mean they will include nuggets that they know the diehards love. "Xanadu", "Natural Science" and oldies in that vein WILL be included, along with cuts they've never played as long as they can do them justice.

troutman Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I have a few songs I hope they play, But just seeing them again will be good enough for me! :rush: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apetersvt Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 The fact they are warming up in LA and not Toronto means Neil is calling the shots. Or it could mean that Neil is grateful for being able to stay at home and will be more willing to let Alex and Geddy get their way with setlist inclusions. Since there isn't a new album to play off of, it certainly leaves more room to throw in the old classics. I'm just hoping to get 1 (or 2 please) 70s songs that I haven't seen yet (seen every tour from HYF on). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 R30 was kind of a greatest hits concert for at least part of it. R40 will probably be the same. I think people would be disappointed if it wasn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
