So the question is what can possibly top last Friday's Concert of Rush playing "Losing It" in Toronto, could it be another rare song or Tour or something else unexpected?

Well they could get their asses here to Europe (Sweden). That would top it for me anyway!

 

Much better to see them for real then on stupid periscope...

I want me some Bastille Day. But I doubt Ged could sing it now.

 

Hey, we thought the same thing about Anthem before this tour. You can't rule Bastille Day out now.

 

I was at the show last Friday but there are plenty of never before played/rare songs I would rather hear them do besides Losing It. Bastille Day being one of them. Don't get me wrong, Losing It is a good song and it was a very special moment with the way they did it, but i'm not losing my mind over the fact that it was played.

 

Overall, the show was great and might be my favorite of all the times i've seen them. The performance of Losing It factors very little into why I think the show was so good though.

Of songs never played live, ones that excite me as a possibility are:

 

Different Strings

Emotion Detector

Red Tide

Available Light

Cut to the Chase

Everyday Glory

Totem

Vapor Trail

 

If I had one vote? I'd cheat and put in a vote for Cut to the Chase and Available Light.

Different Strings is the only on on that list that wouldn't cause a mass walk out! The rest would cause people to throw stuff...

I get what you're saying, but that's a bit of an overreaction. I've seen plenty of people around here clamoring for Cut to the Chase. Put it in the right spot, and Available Light would be as well received as something like Mission has been on recent tours.

 

I bet you anything the same would have been said of Grand Designs, Middletown Dreams... some of the others that were recently trodden out.

I would love DS. Fairly easy on Geddy's voice too.

Sorry...none of those has any "historical significance" like Losing It! Nothing else as a surprise in the first set would have that kind of impact!

 

In a lot of people's eye's, the first set is like an opening band... and the second set is the main attraction!

Alex's arthritis would have a field day during the solo on something like Cut to the Chase though so I wouldn't count on it :(

Yea first set is..its ok, but it pales in comparison to basically everything after JL. Thats when it takes a sharp left turn from the oridinary and becomes extraordinary.

Well they could get their asses here to Europe (Sweden). That would top it for me anyway!

 

Much better to see them for real then on stupid periscope...

 

You could have gotten your own ass over here.

 

And better a "stupid periscope" than nothing.
