fraroc Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 It would have been really funny if they did one Power Windows song, and for that song, Geddy ties his hair back and wears an actual raccoon skin hat :) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
analog guy Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I kinda hoped robes and fake sideburns would come out for the encores, but that's just me :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boston_E Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Limelight and Freewill. Don't know how you leave those songs out of the last tour ever in favor of multiple songs from Clockwork Angles and Snakes N Arrows that 75% of the crowd has never heard before.

Jbrooksga Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Since Limelight is more or less Neil's statement of life, it's hard to believe they left it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christo Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Ignoring Power Windows, Hold Your Fire and Presto. And having the title track from Roll the Bones as that album's sole appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hakky2112 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 "Each of us..."A cell of hypnotism? HELIUM? Love Free Will and Limelight, but they've been performed magnificiently, my2 cents Never forget ESL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GabesCavesOfIce Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Only four shows in the northeast. Serious omission. That SLC venue was tiny and "nearly" sold out. KC sections curtained off. More shows in the center of the country than northeast. Ray, what's the dealio, serious cash left on the table. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevycanavan Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Limelight is really tired. I can totally see why they'd skip it. If they'd asked me I'd have told them it was totally cool to leave out Tom Sawyer and SOR too. I mean who would really have complained? Do any casuals actually go to see Rush?

I dunno, I think Rush has been mainstreaming 'in' since the '07 Snakes tour. For whatever reason. About time hard rock fans started getting a clue. :) 'Cause soon, we won't have anymore Rush ACDC Van Halen GunsnRoses Floyd whoever anymore. They're aging. We're aging. Eras are passing. Sigh.

kevycanavan Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I've gone to see loads of gigs where the "hits" we'e left out, and still the world turns. Oldfield didn't play Tubular BellsNeil Young didn't play Rocking in the free world or harvest moon. Tom waits didn't play downtown train or jersey girl. Just saying.

Speaking as someone who will be seeing their first Rush show ever in LA in a couple of weeks, I would have complained if they left out TS. And loudly!! I'm not flying all the way from Australia to NOT hear Tom Sawyer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhyta Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I think I heard that they chose to leave Limelight out since they were doing some longer songs later and felt it was the lesser of the 3 big songs to leave out. There is no way they are going to skip TS or TSOR.....just not happening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they were great! :finbar: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they were great! :finbar: I personally know the songs and they are fine (although I can't say I connected with the last two albums). Based on what I saw at the Boston show, I'd say that 75% of the peopl there either did not know or did not care about hearing the CA and SnA songs..: looking around the vast majority were sitting on their hands, basically waiting for the later songs to come on... Once they did, a lot more people were up out of their chairs cheering/dancing etc.. A couple of those easily could have been eliminated and replaced with a couple more "classics" that the majority of fans would have loved hearing.
