ALifeson85 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) Looking at the photo (below) of the tour book credits, featuring a list of some of the songs, it's assumed that the Spirit of Radio / Natural Science / Closer To The Heart is a medley...but I think it is actually NOT a medley, but just the 3 songs that Christopher Mills (Director) contributed to, so they just grouped those 3 songs into 1, instead of having Christopher credited 3 separate times. That just seems like kind of a strange medley to me. But...we'll know tonight, either way, so.... lol Edited May 8, 2015 by ALifeson85 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union 5-3992 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 That's what I thought. Not a medley but different songs. There will likely be some medleys, just not these 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigalfan Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I also just noticed Big Money has this under it: 'Retrospective 1&2 (2nd set)' not sure if '2nd set' has something to do with either an actual 2nd set from Rush OR possibly the '2nd set' after intermisson. ?? I'll know it about 8 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdhonda Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 My own theory is that It's all of Spirit, cutting right into the PW section of NS on the last note, and then Closer to the Heart starting during the crashing waves at the end of NS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gudbuytjane Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I think those three songs would make a really awkward medley. Like if they went from Xanadu to Superconductor, but thankfully they'd never do anything that... oh. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GW2 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I get what you are saying, but then why is The Anarchist with Christopher Mills-Director listed separately at the top of the page and not lumped in with the other credit(s)? Same for Crankbunny-Design and Animation: it's listed at the top for The World is..The World is and also for Red Barchetta/YYZ lower on the page.

GabesCavesOfIce Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Does anyone find it strange there would be a video with YYZ? I've been to plenty of shows, seen many tour videos. YYZ with a video would be huge change in presentation for such a crowd pleaser.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll know it about 8 hours. Yeah, I noticed that too. I'm still scratching my head trying to decipher what that means. If they are truly doing a chronological setlist; then there is no way Big Money would get pushed to 2nd set. It's too recent, as opposed to older material.Perhaps there are 3-4 smaller sets and they keep re creating the stage to reflect different eras? It would be a brief interval (5-7 minutes) during the prop change and they would show smaller videos like the film montage etc to occupy our time. Huge stretch but ya never know haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljr869 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Perhaps all 3 segments of the stage are on rotating risers to reflect different eras? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicyyz2 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) I BELIEVE THERE WILL BE NO MEDLEYS - AND I BELIEVE THE WAY IT'S LISTED IN THE TOURBOOK IS NOT IN ANY SETLIST SONG ORDER AT ALL. SIMPLY A LIST OF WHO PRODUCED WHAT - WE WILL SEE THOUGH - FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE GOING TONIGHT - ENJOY IT - I WISH I WERE GOING TO OPENING NIGHT - NOT KNOWING WHAT IS GOING TO BE PLAYED IT THE WAY IT SHOULD BE Edited May 8, 2015 by vicyyz2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightAntennae Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 They (Rush) really have a golden opportunity to make this an epic show. If this really IS it, then they should pull out all the stops and think outside of the box.I mean, make this show something that is talked about for a long time. Just blow us away.But I'm afraid we are going to get the standard fare. Which is fine, but what a wasted opportunity if they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite frankly, IMO, making the alternatives is a bizillon times worse than medleys. I'm going to one show. If I miss JL because it was at the "off" show, I'm going to pissed.

EagleMoon Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I had a dream last night that I was at a Rush concert at a really small venue, maybe 500 seats. Geddy came out dressed like he did in the 70's, wearing the kimono with his chest bare and the really long hair. i kept thinking he looked really good for a 60+ year old guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I kept looking at Geds belly and thinking it wasn't jiggling too much considering how much he was jumping around. He had the black doubleneck too. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
