HUGE SPOILERS, PROBABLY HALF THE SETLIST

I am expecting very little 70's stuff, as people are saying it's mainly Ged's voice. The more he does the faster his voice will go. That said some deeper 80's or 90's stuff would be great. At least 1 or 2 they never played before would be awesome, like when they pulled Presto out. Chain Lightning with their current sound would be mind blowing, much heavier. But we shall see over the next few days. Friday will tell part of the tale, then a couple more days and we should have a good idea.

Union, I love most every song on the list you compiled. Point is, I recently have seen them play those, but I will enjoy seeing them again.

 

This is is their last full production. They have strongly hinted some skeletons coming out, but I didn't realize that was for Roll the Bones ;). This is it, here is our setlist that we kept under such tight wraps we had our long time loyal crew sign a non disclosure, then we mail out the setlist a week before the tour. Then every song but two are repeats since R30. Makes you wonder why bother with the ND? I was hoping they were going out with something special, especially considering we waited three hours last tour for their first 70s tune.

 

For those wanting a vintage classic tune, we are relegated to Hope for a non projection song. I bet that's one of them. They sold out arenas before PeW. Songs from Kings, 2112, COS and FBN were engines driving the Rush train. Now they are so obscure? That's something unique about Rush, as other bands don't run so hard from their vintage classics.

 

Would there have been Tom Sawyer had Kings or Hemispheres or 2112 not been great albums? I think that's highly debatable.

More proof that some people are only happy when they're miserable.

Y'all don't even know what the complete setlist is or how songs may be rotated on a nightly basis and already you've come to a rock solid conclusion in regards to your opinion of this show.

 

Why don'cha wait a whopping 72 hours before you pass judgement on something that hasn't even been fully revealed.

It's a very large sample size.

 

It's disappointing due to the multitude of repeats but I'll still enjoy it. Especially if it's the full Cygnus, full Jacobs and full Prelude, with no xanaconductor or far cry break in nonsense. Cut into RTB or OLV instead. The classics are rare at a Rush show, why ruin the few played with these cut outs from classic to the modern so so tunes

 

Don't recall anyone saying they're miserable, for those passing judgement Snaked, just fans gaining false expectation based on what the band has said to expect from the list.

Also, the "special thanks to Marshall amps and Ampeg"...along with the "stage re-creation" credit...looks like we're headed for the return of the wall of (possibly just for scenery purposes) amps!

 

 

As far back as the Time Machine Tour interviews where Alex talks about his gear he has said he loves the feeling of the wall of sound behind him! Glad to see he's fulfilling that urge

Do some of you folks realize how many bands play the exact same show, with absolutely 0 changes to set list or order for year upon year upon year? Seriously...we're in damn good shape as far as varying setlists from tour to tour goes. The only way it can be better is if they would start with say 50 songs and create completely unique set lists every night.

 

People complain that they played certain songs on R30...however that was 11 years ago. By comparison, when I first saw Rush (HYF tour), 11 years prior would have been 2112. 11 years is a long time for any song to be out of rotation.

 

 

Again, MISSING the point. The ENTIRE alleged leaked list is R30 or current, last 4 tours, sans two songs. After what was promised by the band, its a disappointing list, given its the last tour and they indicated setlist would be special, not repeats.

 

Plus to compare 11 year gap to other eras when albums were released every year is a hugely misleading comment.

 

No...I think you may be missing the point. There are bands that have not changed a thing in their show over the last 11 years. They are still doing an identical performance to what they were doing in 2004. As Rush fans, we got 4 tours in that time that were around 25 songs per show and only about 5 of those songs has been played on every one (and even fewer, I believe the number to be 2, that have been performed at every show). Even though they may not be playing what you (or I) would like to hear most, we still have it really good as Rush fans.

 

And, if you really want to do a fair comparison, the only tour that should be on the table is CA...and we know already that was drastically different.

I just looked up the setlists from R30-Clockwork angels and excluding Drum Solos and Feedback covers, Rush played roughly 70 different songs in the last 10 years.

 

Exactly! They've mixed it up CRAZILY over the past bunch of years...no major complaints here! (I wish they had a site that did the break downs of what you saw over the tours like a Dave Matthews site I belong to...they have function that you put in the shows you attended, and it breaks down by album what you saw and didn't see over those shows..pretty neat!)

 

yes, gotta love that DMB almanac....we need that for Rush

It's not the bands fault if your expectations or your interpretations were not realistic. This is actually more than I could expect and the full list isn't out yet. Not every fan saw S&A or TM.

So, the more I think about this, they might have two sets where the second set changes every night.... I feel like they may showcase their two major live albums, ESL and ATWAS.... They may rotate cuts from both of those in each night... That would be a friggin awesome setup

dt, that's stunning, coming from YOU. Alex told you, less 80s, more tunes they haven't played in a while.

 

The following is word for word from Ged,

 

CELEBRATION OF OUR ENTIRE HISTORY.

 

How many albums are completely ignored on the projection list? How many repeats repeats from last 11 years? Yeah. I. Did. That.

 

Given Ged's quote above, and there are plenty others, disappointment with the narrow list is reasonable.

Wreckers (sorry TM)

BM again

FC again

RtB again

OLV again

Anim (ignoring one of the best post Signals tunes FOREVER, CTTC, as its a long shot now)

I was half expecting them to bring back BU2B and Headlong Flight and that would be it but man that's way too many again. I just knew with the remix of VT we would wind up with OLV. I am gonna guess that Fear is out of the question as I can't imagine all 4 being performed with no video work? Especially Witch Hunt and The Weapon. So anyone hoping for the Fear Four or the Fear Quad can forget it.

 

RTB. Saw that coming. Hasn't been played since the last anniversary so in Rush speak that means "going way back to a song we haven't played in forever", would rather have had The Big Wheel or Where's My Thing? again.

 

I am so sick of Far Cry. Yeah. The pyro boom. We get it.

 

Still believe we have 11 or so missing slots and then we get into alternating set lists. Anything can happen.

Honestly I don't care what they play. I'm just glad I can see them at least one more time.

 

How many other bands have stayed together for so long with the same lineup? U2 comes to mind but they haven't hit the 40 mark.

 

We are lucky, my friends. Let's appreciate what we have.

I was just a little disappointed that they didn't use BU2B and BU2B2 on the last tour, just to put the whole CA out as a live thing?!?! If the "greedy marketing guru's" that seem to run Rush (as some people tend to think) then they missed an opportunity to release a "CLOCKWORK ANGELS LIVE" album like they did with MP for all of the anal complete-ists out there!

Since they weren't playing all the CA stuff every night, they would have had to cobble a CA Live album together. If they chose to do that, I'd have no problem if they used the TM version of BU2B. I don't think there are many who would complain about the omission of BU2B2 under those circumstances.

But still...it's a minute and a half...mostly strings...They could have even done a "one off" the last show for shits and giggles...

"Well, you know I have over twenty albums of recorded music, very hard to choose one, uh, it's always the most recent child that's your favorite, but right now I'm still in love with Clockwork Angels, that whole album, and in particular there's a song called "The Garden" on it that is very close to me."

 

Geddy - Juno Awards press conference, March 2015

 

No matter what any of us think, Rush is Rush because they have always played the music they wanted to play. There's a reason they don't play casino greatest hits triple bills with the remnants of Styx and Foreigner. Someone not liking what they do has never stopped them, and it certainly won't stop them now.

 

BH and all the alleged setlist supporters, yall MISSING the point.

 

I like CA. I like VT. I like SnA. (sorry Mick).

 

But this tour was promised to be DIFFERENT, not the same setlist culled from R30 thru CA.

 

And actually to pick on your point about greatest hits band...that list is full of hits, so Rush IS a casino band NOW, how many track ones are on the list ;) ?

 

How DIFFERENT do you want it? Good Lord. What was this promise that you speak of? Deeper cuts? Let's wait until after Friday night, of course, but we all know that some folks won't be happy unless they play an exclusive set of nothing else but songs from 1974-1980.

 

Sometimes I wish they'd give the entire Hemispheres a go, and when everyone hears how embarrassing it would be for Geddy to try and sing it now, I'd wonder if people would still bitch. Well, of course they would.

 

Being this miserable about it, you gonna sell your tickets?

Highly unlikely that they'd disappoint so many with a crappy setlist like that, especially the first half would put most of us (I am) die-hard fans to sleep. (Not that the songs are crappy, just not live gems)

 

Anyay letswait an see Heresmydream setlist (in no particulr order)

 

Need Some Love, In The End, The Fountain,Hemispheres side 1, Cygnus whatever (from FTK), Cinderella Man, Entre Nous, Natural Science, (whatever from Moving Pics that they want, ) , Dog Years, Cut to the Chase. (aAfter that, whatever. Just no Vapor Trails stuff, hate that album a lot.)

The Camera Eye was last played in 2011, but before that it hadn't been played since 1983.

New World Man was last played in 2002 (13 years ago), but before the it hadn't been played since 1986.

Jacob's Ladder hasn't been played since 1980.

Hemispheres Prelude hasn't been played as a stand alone since 1994.

 

These are all what I would consider deep cuts. And, they are all pretty kick ass songs. There will be a couple more surprises I'm sure.

 

Now, it should be no surprise that an anniversary tour has several of the band's most popular songs. Did anyone actually think they wouldn't play Tom Sawyer, Subdivisions or 2112?

 

The way I look at it is the show has some real nice upbeat rockin' songs. It should make for a high energy show.

 

The Anarchist - rockin'

Headlong Flight - rockin'

Big Money - rockin'

Far Cry - rockin'

One Little Victory - rockin'

Animate - rockin'

Subdivisions - rockin'

Tom Sawyer - rockin'

Red Barchetta - rockin'

Spirit of Radio - rockin'

2112 - rockin'

 

 

Natural Science, Jacob's Ladder, The Camera Eye and Prelude should all be pretty well received crowd pleasers.

 

Throw in a couple songs that have been rumored like Xanadu and Passage to Bangkok and you've got one hell of a setlist.

Lots'a CA material--Loving me some of that!

 

Geez TM, as much as I think CA is decent, we just saw them play NINE CA tunes. Like was posted on twitter, all but two of those have been played R30 and since. How this is chronological from all eras as was promised by the band? Ignored first 3 albums and only play 2112 from 4th which is played EVERY TOUR.

 

If there aren't 4-5 rare tunes without video, this will be second huge disappointing setlist to close out their touring careers. Makes their retirement much easier to accept, cuz surely something is lacking.

 

.

the song CA has got to be one of the worst ever.

Agree to disagree, I think Clockwork Angels the song is probably the 2nd best on that album, behind Headlong Flight.
