ALifeson85 Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 And yea - I already knew that they had been playing this during soundchecks, but this actual video is news to me! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaminbenb Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I'm still going to say interesting to say the least...Why now, and not last tour?!? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satchmothesnowdog Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 It never made.sense at all why they didn't play the damn thing last tour. But it's a fitting song for this tour and a message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALifeson85 Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 I'm still going to say interesting to say the least...Why now, and not last tour?!? The "Clockwork" tour would have been perfect for this song, considering the string ensemble would have sounded AMAZING with this song. Playing it on THIS tour now, makes it more bittersweet, if anything, lol. BUT, I'm excited they finally decided to play it either way, and I really hope to see them play it next month in Philly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YYZumbi Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I still don't get the big deal with this song... I mean... What is so special with it? Rush have maked lots of other songs that is MUCH better that they should play live instead! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clem Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I still don't get the big deal with this song... I mean... What is so special with it? Rush have maked lots of other songs that is MUCH better that they should play live instead! Agreed. I can think of about a bazillion deep cuts that I would much rather hear. I DO like the tune - very sweet and sad, but I'm not sure how well it would translate live. Clem 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush have maked lots of other songs that is MUCH better that they should play live instead! It's never been played before, and thematically it suits the winding down of a career so well. Maybe it's just something that makes sense if you're older, like the band. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...but the more I think about it...it's a "last show" kind of thing...I'd be willing to bet LA is where they play it...(and I have a feeling that it's going to be a second encore kind of thing) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clem Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Personally, I think this would be a very depressing way to say goodbye. Even if the guys are getting old and have arthritis, I'd rather they go out with a positive bang, not a negative whimper. Again, nothing against the song, but it is pretty fricking depressing.

I love the song, but I agree. Playing it at the very end would be an ill-fitting way to go out. These guys are playing their asses off and thrilling people with their most ambitious sets in years. And even if ailments and age are affecting their abilities, they aren't nearly in the state of decrepitude as the people described in that song. Play it. It sounded great during the St. Paul soundcheck. But don't wrap things up with it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemispheres3 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I always thought The Garden would depress the hell out of me if it was their last song of a farewell show. I love the song, but that could be a really depressing end 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleMoon Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 For all we know it could be previously recorded and they're not doing it at sound check at all. Maybe they're just doing it as a joke on the fans. :D 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtpoet Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 This is why I posted the thread on set changes after the first break. Maybe there was a plan all along to sub out certain songs and add others. I keep hoping they change out some of the encore. I'd love to see the Return of the Orince in place of Lakeside Park. Kind of a jamming song, fairly easy to play, and vocals can be modified.
