Jomboni Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Nice.... it makes sense for most likely their final dvd to be shot in their hometown. And right in the middle of the 2nd leg when Geddy's voice will probably be at it's strongest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jomboni Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 And if they stick to the rotation we'll get the B & C setlists which gives them the most alternate songs to include as bonus tracks :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtrushfan Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I do hope that the DVD/Blu-Ray track list will reflect the "C" setlist with one exception. Switch out "One Little Victory" for "How It Is" I'm still not happy that they chose "Dreamline" over "Manhattan Project" for the main CA tour DVD/Blu-Ray track listing, but they didn't ask me so, oh well… ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's not authentic that way, but I find that the extra songs get a lot less play from me as they are presented as standalones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Smith Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Does this mean they're pretty much sure they aren't extending the tour? Time Machine and CA were both filmed on the second leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtrushfan Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Does this mean they're pretty much sure they aren't extending the tour? Time Machine and CA were both filmed on the second leg. Not the case at all.CA was actually filmed towards the end of the first year of the tour.Yes, Time Machine was filmed during the second year of the tour, but a lot of that apparently had to due with Neil's ear issues during the first year which required him to use headphones as opposed to IEMs, and they didn't want to film a show with him on the cans.

Time Machine and CA were both filmed on the second leg.No tour extension.THIS IS IT Nothing guaranteed either way.I would hope they at least make an effort to get out to Europe and South America one last time for all those fans.And while they are at it, they could make a few more stops in the US and Canada in cities they didn't play this year. If the tour this year ends on August 1, and they resume around the beginning of April next year, that gives them roughly 7 months to catch a break before starting up again. I remain optimistic for now... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remain optimistic for now... Their recent past has included an unannounced second leg that no one expected..the only thing they keep saying is that they're not going to do a "tour of this magnitude" again...they didn't say "34 date tour of this magnitude".... I'm on the optimistic boat as well! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, my bad. I think it at least confirms that they haven't confirmed that they're going to extend it or not. Snakes and Arrows, Time Machine, and CA second legs were all afterthoughts, I'm pretty sure. With Time Machine, the plan from the start was to go into the studio and record CA right after the first leg, but they were having so much fun touring that they wanted to keep it going. And with the other two, I don't think anything was announced until the first leg was done, maybe not even until the late winter/spring of the following year. Also, Neil was still using headphones on the second leg of the tour. The hope was that his ear problem would go away before the show, but it did not, so he used IEMs for the recording only.

Hemispheres4Echo Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) Please have it edited by someone without ADHD. I hope they will hire David Bottrill (who produced Vapor Trails remixed and the T4E footage on the R40 box set) to mix/produce the DVD. I'd also like to say that I think it is fantastic that they have recorded a show every tour since their come back onto film, so that people who aren't able to attend a show in person gets to see the tour as well. Personally I've only seen them on the Clockwork Angels tour, so I'm glad they have recorded a show every tour for a DVD release!

Love Ged's tone on Time Machine and Alex sounds good, but the drums are a bit buried in the mix for my taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alchemical Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Hope to GAWD it's shot better (I swear it's disorienting to watch. I don't think there's a single shot that lasts longer than 2 seconds in the whole concert) and mixed MUCH better than the Clockwork Angels blu-ray. Is there someone we can contact to ensure it's a quality release? Maybe if we all band together and send hundreds of emails to the right person they'll get the message?

Freddy Lee Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Toronto, eh? Makes sense. But I was hoping on NYC to be honest. For obvious reasons. But Toronto was my second guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
