PolarizeMe Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 If they replaced RTB with Dreamline, then did BTW, and followed with Chemistry or Analog it would be close to the perfect set for me. I like Chemistry, but I've always thought that Countdown would make for a great closer for the first set. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PolarizeMe Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Dreamline is a great song right until this part "we are young" That chorus kills the power of the song for me...thanks Rupert Hine. I know he sang the dreadful processed "Superconductor" line in Superconductor, but did Rupert Hine sing backup on the "We are young" as well?

Starting with Stick It Out, one of the worst Rush songs ever, and following Nobody's Hero with Double Agent and Cold Fire was just flooding the airwaves with bad Rush songs.
